Hehe, I'm waiting for epoxy to dry on my trigger right now, so I might as well try to explain while my memory is fresh. The pin that the sear rests on, in my gun, is the middle and lowest one. If you look in the frame it should be pretty obvious... it's not the pin that the trigger rotates on, and it's not the one the sear rotates on. Also, just in case you decide to tap it out, make sure the grooved side of the PIN comes out first. I know when I was trying to figure out which way to tap it out, I had some troubles with that.
I figured out what pin it was on and I'd remembered someone saying that a pen tube was good for putting over it s I tried it. Worked for $hit! So I was trying to figure out exactly what work in there, something that wouldn't slide around... I then remembered that my dad has a lathe in his workshop, so me and him went out there any milled a cillender 6mm in diameter, and a 1cm in lenth. Then we tapped a hole through the middle of it for the pin to slide through. It dramatically decresd the pull! BUT, it still could be smaller, I need to figure out a way to stop the trigger from going back farther then it has to after it cocks. Any suggestions? :confused:

you need to put a longer trigger stop in
I don't have a trigger stop! Is there a correct way to make one? Is there a thread I can read on how to make one?

Put a small piece of wood/metal inside your trigger spring, then adjust the lenght of it to fit your trigger pull.

Oy, maybe someone could help me out. I was working on my trigger a lot today, and I got some progress made, but not a whole lot. I installed both a back stop (by putting a cut down nail through the trigger) and a front stop (I epoxied some material to the front of the trigger). Honestly though, I didn't think either of them made much of a difference. It was like I'd be filing the material down one second so that the gun would cock and fire, and all of a sudden the gun would fire but there wouldn't be much of a change. Then I put some tubing around my sear pin, but even that didn't make a huge difference. I also stretched and cut coils off of my trigger spring, which did decrease the pull, but the trigger still isn't working like I thought it would. Any suggestions?

who's charlie kim?
Okay, I'm a total idiot! I totally forgot what my dad does for a living! He owns a machine shop that does high precision metal polishing! Instead of using the dremel and all that crap, I can have him electro-polish the entire sear, then put chrome polish on it! The whole E-polishing process only takes off like 1/1000 of an inch off the surface of the metal, so I don't think It'll make a huge difference in the way it operates besides flowing smoother.
