I did a trigger job on my RR a while back, I only used to carry the RR while fishing and it went to the range w/ me every now and then. The trigger on it was not good at all, so much that my wife wouldn't shoot it. I tore it down a while back and looked at all the engagement surfaces, not pretty (unless you like nicely painted trigger sear engagement areas). All I really did was remove the paint and polished a little, didn't actually have to change anything. Now the trigger breaks smoothly and w/ considerabley less weight. If anyone is interested I could tear it down again and take pics of the areas that I removed paint and smoothed out. :smiley1:

Love to see some pics! :thumbsup:
I'm all about taking new guns and breaking them in the quick way by polishing moving parts! :wink1:

okay, it'll probably be wednesday before I get the chance to pull it apart and take some pics. That is unless my wife decides she wants to go shooting, then of course i would be forced to go to the range and shoot. :grin1:

Don't worry Ape you won't have to wait long, just til after dinner then I'll start pulling the RR apart and getting some pics. My wife said she has to do some work on at home tonight so we'll be staying in. That just means I'll have time to work on the pics and then try and botch my first set of home made grips for the gsg 1911. A man's work is never done when it comes to his toys. :thumbsup:

By autopilotmp Sep 29, 2010#9 ** IMPORTANT** Follow this tutorial at your own risk. Neither I nor Gunslinger forums are responsible for failure of your firearm. Okay here we go: Below are pics of the hammer where the trigger engages it. Each of the notches is a position the closest to the bottom of the pic is the fully forward or uncocked position, the next one up is the half cock position and the top one closest to the hole is the fully cocked position. This last one is the only one you need to worry about. I smoothed it out w/ a stone and then polished the surface using very fine sand paper. All i was doing was removing the small hook that was on that notch and making sure it had a nice flat surface w/ a nice square sharp edge.   |

Really isn't much to this if you grasp the concept and take your time. Next are some pics of the Trigger, concentrating on the area that engages the notches in the hammer. Here is a side profile of the trigger showing how the surface has been made flat and polished smooth, and a nice edge retained on the engagement surface.  This pic shows the surface that was stoned and polished so the mating surfaces glide on each other.  Really all the tools needed here aside from ones needed for disassembly are some needle files and some wet dry sand paper. I use a piece of glass to put the sand paper on to ensure a smooth surface. Just go easy and test often. I also have something from my gunsmithing course i'll add just to give a better idea of how to accomplish this. |

Looks good auto! :thumbsup:
I've polished my internals with a dremel and some compounds..... But I never did any sanding or stoning to enhance edges. :hmmmm:

I've got a page in one of my books from the gunsmithing course I took that shows you a basic idea of how you want to adjust the angles on a simple trigger like this one. When I get back into the shop I'll pull out the book and take a pic of the drawing for a clear picture on what to accomplish. Really one of the easier triggers I've worked on and actually some of the most dramatic results as well.
