aboyer, there are some very knowledgeable folks here but you might also try the WaltherForm if you can't get it sorted. Primarily pistols but there are rifle sections. Good luck. 1917

 

1917-1911M,

Thanks. I contacted Walther directly and they were able to send me the exploded view schematics.

Regards,
Antonio

 

Antonio, How is this rifle treating you? I am considering getting one in the near future. That trigger weight has to be wrong. TIA for any info! Nick A

 

Nick,
I am loving this rifle. From all of my research, the triggers on this rifle, the Umarex Colt M4 and Umarex HK416 all are very heavy (they ball use pretty much the same trigger box based on the schematics).
I found a kit for the Umarex HK416 that definitely helped with the trigger weight.
The stock pull weight was 9 lbs 7 oz measured on a Lyman Pull Gauge.
I pulled apart the trigger box assembly, polished the mating surfaces and greased the surfaces well and the weight dropped to 9 lbs 5 oz so not a significant improvement but still an improvement.
After adding the spring kit, it went down to 6 lbs 7 oz so it is much better now.
I really like shooting this rifle. The only thing I would like better is if the design was more like an AR lower platform so I could use AR components for the trigger but the kit wasn't that bad so I can live with it.
Regards,
Antonio

 

Hi Antonio!

I was thinking about getting a Hammerli, myself! You mentioned a trigger kit improving the weight of pull, and I was wondering if you could let me know where you got it from or what the manufacturer of the kit was?

Cheers!

 

Hi SuddenMinotaurs,

Sure, I bought it from HKparts.net. Here is a link to the kit I bought:

I'm currently waiting on an order coming in fot match trigger spring kits if you're interested ?

 

Has anyone with a Tac R1 replaced the grip? Purchased a Magpul K2 for mine but the holes do not line up to allow the bolt to align in hole.
Curious if anyone has done a mod or if there is another grip to consider.

 

How far off is it? I haven't tried yet

 

IIRC, there are 2 holes in the factory Hammerli grip. One for the screw and the other for part of the trigger box assy to come through into the grip when the weapon is ready to fire. You may need to add the 2nd hole to the magpul grip to make it work.

 

Found this thread upon a search after I received an email this afternoon from RifleGear.com indicating they have the Walther Hammerli Tac R1 .22LR Rifles available at $430: https://www.riflegear.com/p-10680-w...+one&utm_campaign=TS+2+Sale&vgo_ee=w9Ysb3867ui747Z0yON/xnwFoqDlMHNmyq65fGLdufk=

Unfortunately, this review parallels the findings of other with respect to the trigger pull and in this case it was 8.5 lbs: https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/hammerli-tac-r1-22-c-review/383226

To my mind, That. Is. Simply. Outrageous.

I am disappointed as, were the trigger even 6lbs I was prepared to go ahead and take the $430 hit, order the rifle this evening AND a invest another $300-$400 in magazines ahead of any more laws (that will effect only the law abiding negatively and have zero impact on criminals :-(

On second thought, perhaps I should be relived, haha!

I've found CMC 2-1/2lb drop-in triggers for the S&W M&P 15-22 .22LR carbines and pistols and am sure I will find similar for Ruger 10/22's so I guess I'll take that $430 and invest it in M&P 15-22 and 10/22 mags.

Still, I'm disappointed. I place a lot of faith / trust in the names Hammerli and Walther but, 8.5lbs; I just don't see any excuse for that. Wondering what the folks at Umarex were (or were not) thinking....

Wild assed guess on my part, but I wonder if they went with the 8lb trigger in order to avoid light hammer strikes?

These rifles are designed for fun shooting & not bench rest shooting. Therefore most folks will be using cheap bulk .22 ammo, IMO. (Or at least it used to be cheap.) No one enjoys a non-firing gun, so I bet R&R decided upon 8lbs being the magic number for cheap ammo.

Not to say one couldn't either do a spring swap (no idea what's available) or trim off a coil at a time to reach the balance of lighter trigger but still have reliability. I've not shot one of these, so I can't say what the trigger works look like or anything. My AR-22 is a Sig 522. While the trigger isn't fabulous, it certainly isn't 8lbs either.

i am looking for parts for my hammerli 22 cal.Particularly the two spring bumpers or spring inserts on the main bolt spring. Anybody know where i can find these parts?
