I am trying to adjust my Morini CM162EI 2-stage trigger and was wondering what people use to check the indiviual stage weights as opposed to the standard trigger dead weight tester?

Hopefully someone has some cheap ideas!

I just use my finger. It gives me all of the information I need.

I do have a Correx gauge but all that gives you are numbers. I couldn't give a damn whether my second stage is adjusted to 200g or 100g, it's the feel that matters.

Thanks, mine FEELS wrong.
I'll give it a go, Correx gauges too expensive at the moment.

Have a look at this thread:

There are a couple of practical suggestions there.

An less expensive alternative to Correx gauges for measuring trigger pulls is the Lyman electronic gauge:

It will read +/- 2 grams up to 2.2 kg. I wouldn't try it on a free pistol, but it works fine for everything else. You can get them new for ~ $50.

Picked up a Correx today (had 1 hour to go with no bids) for £20 on ebay - bargain!

I thought about making a trigger weight set, but as I considered the weights I'd have to make and what increments would be useful, I realized I don't need a general purpose set. For just an air pistol all I really need is Go-NoGo gauge, so I cobbled this up in the shop today.

The weight is JB Welded to the hook (hey, at least there's no duct tape) and the assembly weighs 530g. The additional weight is 30g. If the trigger lifts one, but not both, then the trigger pull is between 530g and 560g. How it is distributed between first and second stage is by feel anyway, so I don't need a weight for each stage. Simple and fool proof. Well, fool resistant anyway.
