I noticed in the author's introduction to "tap out the safety." Actually my RRA AR-15 9MM safety has a channel that rides over the rear of the trigger bar and is still under pressure even with the handle detent removed (therefore trying to tap out would damage various parts). However, once the hammer pin was tapped out with the spring pressure relieved, the safety easily fell out. Likewise, one must put the safety in before reinstalling the hammer. As far as the finished job: excellent. I did add my own polishing (not stoning) to the engagement surfaces with IMHO the best product for gun part polishing, the Dremmel polishing felt wheel #520. It's impregnated with a very fine polishing compound that is thoughtout the whole wheel and does a mess free, top of the line, mirror polishing job on anything I've tried (even inside bore chamber). Now I have a crisp, medium weight, single stage stock trigger job that most would envy. |

Did you clip one leg of the hammer spring and bend the trigger spring? Have you tried it at the range yet? The reason I am asking is that I had a friend try this on a RRA 9mm and it started doubling occasionally, He finally had to replace the hammer and trigger springs to make it stop. The rifle worked fine with a .223 upper, but would double once or twice on every mag of 9mm. G |
