Good afternoon, New to the forum and have a question: I’m shooting S682x and it has Schwab releases on both barrels and I hate them. Can the Schwabs be turned off or do I need to buy new parts to convert them back to pull triggers? thanks
Hi SDM I was surprised to see your post. Jmho but I think Schwaab made the best Beretta releases. The machine work was great. If they aren’t working right, and you want a release, I would advise you to send them to a good smith. They aren’t hard to adjust. The husband of the secretary at Jaqua’s did most of the 682x’s. They moved to Montana after Schwaab passed. Sorry I can’t remember his name. I would pay extra for those. A mediocre gunsmith can take those out. Schwaab set his triggers at 48 oz set and 20-22 ounce release. I would like to see a picture of those releases. You might have my old gun. I’d like to have that back!
More information: I remember now the machinist. His name Doug Peterson, nicknamed Crash. Sadly, my research found he passed in 2017. When Schwab had his stroke, Doug serviced the releases without charge. Mine included.
The release works well, I’m just not a release shooter. In fact, I bought the gun in the Cabela’s gun library not knowing it had a release. You can imagine my surprise at station 1.
Thank you. The screw that holds the hook in place, was that threaded hole machined into the gun by Schwab? Or was the hole preexisting from the factory? I’m trying to figure out what to put back in the hole after the hooks come out.
Note: The screws will get in the way of a new stock. Both can be removed. One is for over travel of the hook. The other is the pivot.
Just remove the hook and you'll have a trigger with a 3 lb. to 5 lb. pull but maybe more take up than you want. Pretty sure the screw holes are Schwab. The front screw (over travel) serves no function if the hook is removed. If you're replacing the stock just inlet it to match the one you are taking off.
