Its not that nobody knows its that everybody knows, and they know if you would do a little reading you could find it out for yourself.  Not my opinion just thought Id let you in on whats going on.
Trigger stages
A single stage means you pull a constant weight until the trigger "breaks"
A two stage trigger splits the weight...You pull 3lbs and the trigger moves slightly then hits a "wall" and 2 additional pounds of pull are required for the trigger to "break".

He isn't being cocky.  That's how every forum is.  You can read about trigger stages on almost any gun site.

As a matter of fact I just googled it for you and the first result answered your question in detail.

think of a "stage" as a step or layer of pull weight--its VERY distinct once you press the trigger slowly and deliberately

a two stage has a 1st stage where the pull is usually the heavier one, then it "stops" at the next, 2nd state (usually the lighter pull weight) which is like the last barrier before the break

the two diff pulls is like having a stepping down in increments that one can get adjusted to

a single stage is basically a striaght out trigger pull w/ one full pull weight

creep, take up, grit, etc are not mentioned here

You would sound a little more intelligent if you would have left out the first part of your statement. Obviously you have a problem with people asking questions, maybe you could just keep it to yourself next time.

He is someone who thinks it is good to be able to do a little research and learn things for yourself instead of being handfed...


Although maybe he didnt go about it the best way im sure some people (like myself)would normally be better off looking instead of just asking....

all im saying is sometimes THAT is the kind of attitude people need to get



BTW I don't think it (the first part) makes him sound any more or less intelligent!

The only reason searches work on any forum is because at one point and time someone asked a question.  So give the guy a break.

Speaking of intelligence...why dont you read the last sentence on my first line.  If anything I was giving the poor guy a heads up on what to expect from this forum.  Apparently none of you felt it necessary to even answer his question so I did it as I saw fit.  Rather than questioning the manor in which I did so, I would rather you just say Thank You!
