| Can some direct me to the article on trigger polishing and spring lightening that was mentioned ina post a few days a go? I like (prefer) a single stage trigger over a 2 stage. Would like to be able to make a mil-spec trigger smoother and a little lighter, say maybe in the 3-4lb. range if possible. Thanks. |

Fixed it. The post explains how to true an upper receiver, nothing about trigger work though. |
| You can polish up the contact points and the pins with a dremel and some polishing compound. Use a good quality light grease and lube the contacts. I've found using the light JP springs helps quite a bit too. Some have problems with light hammer strikes with hard primers with these springs. I ran this set up for a while and just bobbed the tail off my hammer (like a speed hammer) and never had a round that didn't go bang. |
+10 for Bill Springfield, he does an exceptional job. I requested 2 trigger groups I sent him to be set at 4 Lbs., both are right on the money, no creep, minimal overtravel on one( fixed with the install of a locking set screw). I'm getting ready to send 3 more FCGs to him for 4 Lb. set ups.

Not talking about grinding or altering ANY dimensions. Talking about using a cloth, not hard felt, wheel and lightly polishing it. What little micron of material it removes from the surface is way more less than what a stone will remove. You don't get crazy with it, it will smooth out a gritty feeling trigger. From what I understand, stoning on an AR trigger is begging for trouble as the surfaces are only thinly hardened. I would never suggest using a dremel to grind on anything as important to your safety as a trigger. We all know the only thing you grind with a dremel is barrel flutes....... its common Arfcom knowledge
