Someone recently told me that you can make your trigger much better, possibly down to 5lbs but touching up all of the mating surfaces with emery cloth.  Anyone do this to their gun?  I recently had a bad experience with a JP installed JP trigger doubling and want to put the factory assembly back in but want a better feeling trigger.  What do you think?
Thanks!

I would not consider using anything as abrasive as emory cloth on any trigger part. There is a tread out now about the 15 minute trigger job which might answer your question.

I'm with [blue]Getsome[/blue]. You want to smooth out and deburr the mating surfaces, not remove material from them.

I've had excellent luck using #7 automotive polishing compound-the kind that you pick up for $5.00 per can in the car wax aisle at WalMart.

I simply smear some of the compound on the sear and hammer notch and then manually cycle the hammer a few dozen times. After that I remove the hammer and trigger to completely clean and remove any trace of compound.

It works like a charm [:)]

Edited to add:

This is what I use:

Lately I've been playing around with my AR triggers a lot. I've screwed up my fair share of them too by removing too much material. I have since learned that just because I own a Dremel doesn't mean that I should use it [:D]
