As an individual that has an interest in fine guns and knives I was thinking about blending some of the technology. Knife makers use phosphorous-bronze washers on custom folding knives. They do a great job keeping the pivot area smooth and aligned. My thought is to mill and polish the sides of the hammer and trigger that contact the insides of the lower receiver. Then add the phosphorous-bronze washers to shim them up. I think it should keep the whole trigger assemble true and straight as well as reduce any friction from contact with the side of the lower and reduce lateral play. Has anyone done this? If so did it work? Does anyone else see any value or am I fixing a problem that doesn’t exist? |

Yes, I use a SS washer/shim in between the trigger/receiver side to take out the slop (washer is had lapped for the size needed per rifle). Depending if the rifle will be fired right handed or left will determines the side placement of the washer. This allows for a more consentient trigger job when performed on the stock FCG’s. As for the hammer, it's kind of a waste since the hammer will pick a side of the receiver to ride during reset. |
