Trigger Assembly

3. The safety contains a notch and raised portion. In the ON position, the raised portion prevents the forward movement of the trigger, which prevents firing. In the OFF position, the notch allows the forward movement of the trigger
5. Spring that provides tension between the sear and hammer
8. Provides tension to allow the latch to securely hold the pump lever
9. Plastic component that, when the bolt is open, prevents the trigger’s movement
12. This is a mechanism that, once engaged, prevents the rifle from firing by locking the trigger in place.
13. Spring that provides tension to hold the clip actuator bar in place
14. Plastic block that holds the pump lever closed after the cadet air rifle has been pumped
16. Metal bar that is activated by the movement of the bolt. When the bolt is moved backward and forward, it causes the clip actuator bar to move the clip actuator, which advances the five- pellet clip to the left
17. This screw holds the trigger housing to the valve body
18. The hammer is a strong metal component of the trigger assembly. It is what depresses the valve, allowing air to escape into the chamber when the cadet air rifle is fired

1. Spring that provides the momentum of the hammer
2. Ball bearing that allows the safety to move side to side within its housing
4. Contains the safety mechanism and holds the trigger assembly components in place
6. Spring that provides tension between the trigger lock and trigger
7. Plastic device that moves the sear, causing the hammer to strike the valve
10. Metal tab that holds the hammer in place prior to firing. When the trigger is depressed, the sear moves and releases the hammer
11. Used to advance the five-pellet clip when used in the cadet air rifle
15. Provides tension to the safety ball
