If you still cannot get the slide back on, I suggest you take your hand gun to a local gunsmith for repair.
Note: On page 4 of the instruction manual there is a clear statement:
(Quote)
NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGER INSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD OR ON THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND TO FIRE.
(End quote)
One of the triggers is the actual trigger, the other is the set trigger which lowers the trigger pull. The set trigger has a screw to adjust the sear and trigger engagement. Adjusting this by turning the screw inward reduces both trigger pull effort and the distance the trigger moves when pressed. I strongly urge that you either consult the manual for your rifle before making any trigger adjustments. If you are not confident you know what you are doing you should take this rifle to a gunsmith in your area for adjustment.
The trigger is in a plastic housing that incorporates the guard, it is held in by pins, that must be driven out in the proper direction from the receiver. I would discourage you from doing this. The barrel latch has a heavy spring you will have to overcome in disassembly and reassembly and unless you know what you are doing you will need to hire a gunsmith to fix it. The better option is to spend your money on a better gun.
Musgrave triggers were set at 2 pounds pull weight at the factory. There are two screws with lock nuts on them in the trigger assembly but they only alter the engagement between the trigger and sear, effectively shortening the travel needed to release the striker. This does not lower the trigger pull weight. You have to remember that in a bolt action rifle, you are pulling against the firing pin spring which in some cases can be quite heavy in terms of compression rate of the spring. Since most modern rifles ship from the factory at 4 - 8 pounds of pull, your Musgrave trigger is pretty light at two pounds. Using this in competition requires a standard pull weight, and your job as the shooter is to keep the rifle sighted in through the pull of the trigger past where the weapon fires a cartridge. The follow through is nearly as important as the actual aiming of the rifle. My advice is learn to live with the 2 pound pull.
This is a spring gun, and it uses a compressed spring behind a cup of leather in a cylinder to provide the pressure to fire. The most common failure is due to the cup drying out due to lack of oiling on a regular basis. once the cup dries out and hardens it shrinks and will no longer seal. Replace the leather cup/piston and it will work.
