wlchase 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Very nice step-by-step! Maybe the trigger job part, at least, should become part of the Tech Section reference materials? Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cavediver 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlliedArmory 3 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Good post. I used your guide to polish up my trigger. Got a little better but might need more polishing on my end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
