Also a co-worker of Jen's came over and we did some work on the trigger of his S&W M&P. Nice gun but the pull left some to be desired. The worst part was a lot of over travel. Armed with a ‘how to’ description from the net. we ground down part of the sear and improved it a lot. Unfortunately since it was not swapping parts the improvement in overtravel was made at the expense of a little more pretravel. Oh well, good trade.
That vastly increased the amount of ‘real’ gunsmithing I have done. Will have to see how they shoot. It is nice to leave a gun tangibly better to shoot than when you started.
They were finding the overtravel was really spreading their groups around. Those light composite guns really twitch when there is a lot of that. Yeah that is fixable by just getting better at you smooth squeeze. The trick of balancing something on the front sight was really helping. But with the test coming up next week they needed all the help they could get.
Evening Talon, nice going on cleaning up the trigger. It sure doesn’t seem to take long till the ‘after market’ firms start supplying what the manufacturer should have put in the first place. Taking a gun apart and putting back together with new parts in it and still having it work is no mean feat.
I missed this earlier... good stuff...
