The original bullet guide was not working with the new 10 round mags from KVAR.
A redesign was necessary.
Some engineering of the mag catch was necessary to correct differences in the mag latch boss on the back of the magazine.
To be continued…………
The original reason for the Gain latch.
Final results:
Finished product:

Very nice step-by-step!
Maybe the trigger job part, at least, should become part of the Tech Section reference materials?

Nice! I've been looking for some trigger info, this looks like most of the info I want.
What did you use to do the polishing? I've got all sorts of materials, tools, and equipment available, but I've never tried this and don't want to screw it up... I hear people refer to it as "stoning", and I'm assuming they are using sharpenng / polishing stones, but that seems a little impractical for some of the surfaces.

They were in the slide drawer type of bins at my local hardware.Gunny super jod on the gun, the polishing tips came in handy after a small ammount of " Dremel" time my trigger is super smooth and clean, btw where did you find the split rivets?

The total cost with washers was less than a dollar.
They came chromed, but I chucked them in a drill and sanded the chrome off them so they would take the Duracoat.
I used a finish nail set, similar to a center punch to spread the legs, then a pair of long needle nose vise grips to flatten the legs against the washer. They are in tight and there is no movementin the rivet.

Good post. I used your guide to polish up my trigger. Got a little better but might need more polishing on my end.
