[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1775200, member: 87243"] ^^^^^THIS^^^^^ If your competent with your hands and patient, it is super easy, just go really slow. Get the angles the same so the sear slides instead of drags, for a small .005" or LESS section put a 45° slope, and that alone makes a big difference. Use quality hand tools, NO DREMMEL. I use a small diamond sharpening stone and a magnifying glass attached to my vise, it doesn't take much, a regular file is too aggressive in my opinion, it may be ok with a very fine file. I didn't change the springs at all, just got the sear geometry correct and dropped the sear engagement down to about .012"-.013", it was .020" or a little more before. Once your done, smooth it up with some polishing compound and a soft rag, again no dremmel or power tool, there is no need, it's a small part, and you can go too far and round parts that should be square with power tools. On the most recent one, it dropped the trigger from 5.5 lbs down to a consistent and crisp 2.1 lbs, with proper geometry and a little over .010" sear engagement. Properly done, that us usually right where you end up, at least on the last 3 I have done. I like it better than the timney trigger on one of the other rugers I use, and costs nothing.
