True Nando, though not as close anymore with my new residence.. haha. I have been there a few times as well as in the old Visser collection.
Another question, does anyone have schematics of how such a crossbow should work from the inside? |

I believe there are various arming systems as also a few evolutions of the trigger system. The arming of the model under discussion may be seen HERE and HERE. But you surely know all that ... . ... Oh, Udo was faster , Last edited by fernando; 25th February 2020 at 05:08 PM. |

Thanks, i am breaking my head on mine though..
i attached a image of what mine looks like.. i understand how it works when its armed, but i can't figure out how it would work after releasing the trigger. The trigger has a small nodge which keeps the trigger from releasing (and a bigger nodge for keeping the sear in bounds). Whence the trigger is released the sear is pushed down without a force counteracting it. How it will be armed again with the sear on the trigger nodge... |

I think after the shot you have to turn back (c) by hand until (d) will engage again, that's all. Then you can stretch the string again

please see crossbow post #4, you have to push down the big mushroom headed pin , to arm the trigger mechanism again. At most crossbows this pin has been lost and there is only a hole to be seen. best, Jasper |

Hi Jasper, thanks yes that is it.. simple elegant solution. I tried it and the trigger will catch on indeed.
