1 - 1/2 stone on a rotary tool

 

 
Directions


Take the trigger mechanism completely apart. On the pivot pins next to the sear and the trigger you will find a spring washer-type spacer- toss it in the nearest waste basket. Take one of the pins to your local hardware store and go to the section where they have the miscellaneous bits , pieces and screws . Look for the nylon bushings with a flange on one side. Test fit the pin into the bushings and find the right size - it should be about 1/4 " od . Get several just in case. You will also need a drill bit that is the same size as the bushing.


Now, drill out the hole in the trigger and the sear . The trigger is brass and drills easily but for some reason the sear was very difficult to drill out- it seems to be very hard steel. If the holes are drilled out right the bushings should fit tightly into them. I found some minor filework necessary to get it right. It doesn't matter which side the flanges are on but they both need to be on the same side or the trigger won't line up with the sear. Test fit the parts to the gun. You will need to grind the flanges slightly to get a good fit . I did this with the end of a 1/2 stone on a rotary tool - just be careful to keep it flat . Once they are the right thickness, everything should go together fine. Make sure to lube it a little with some light grease. If its done properly the trigger should be much improved.


Once thats done take another bushing and set it inside the top of the trigger spring. I noticed that the end of the sear where it sits on top of the spring tended to drop inside the spring and create a grinding noise and some vibration. Putting a flanged bushing on top of the spring made a big difference.

Hope this helps out,
