[QUOTE="Josh Smith, post: 1103776, member: 25978"] Hello, Don't go using the Dremel. That sear is a spring and you can damage it if you heat it up too much. Granted, it would take a lot, but better safe about it as they run about $20 apiece. Start with 1000 grit. Polish the part on the sear the trigger contacts about 20 times, forward and back. Switch to 2000 grit and go until shiny, then 3000 until it shines. Next, use the 2000 grit on the sear face itself. It's not necessary to make 'em shine, but just get the horizontal lines out of them as those lines catch on the bolt's cocking piece. Chuck the trigger into a vice. Cut a strip of 800 grit (or so) wide enough to fit through the rectangular opening, and polish the inside contact portion sort of like you're polishing a shoe. After the rough spots are out, switch to 1000 grit, then 2000 grit. Grease the contact surfaces and enjoy. Regards, Josh [/QUOTE]
