If I did this for my S&W 15/22 would I even need to be concerned about light primer strikes or could I take one leg off like you said? Since it's 22 LR is why I'm asking.
Buddy, stop cussin, lol…instant demonetizing…or wait…do they demonitize your ar vids already anyway for being gun vids? I remember a couple years back how they threatened to remove firearms vids…thanks for this vid 🙂
Cutting the hamer spring is not a good idea, because you're altering the mil-spec of the design, and that can get you in trouble if something goes wrong, polishing and smoothing things out is good, just my opinion and I do like your video.
Would it be better to cut an equal amount of spring off on both sides rather than just one side? Instead of cutting 1/2" off one side cut say a 1/4" off both sides?
I think using the (whatever) polishing tool towards the direction the sear moves is the best way. Changing polishing directions 90 degrees creates a grid that increases friction.
Could you substitute crocus cloth for the polishing wheel? I recall years ago I'd use it on the feed ramps of my pistols and have never experienced a jam with any ammo.
Excellent tutorial! This is really all you need for a start – yours was my first AR trigger job tutorial, and 20min later – voila, my AR first trigger job is done! Makes a big difference – should have done that much earlier… And no need for a drop in trigger yet before I get more practice… The good ones sell for 400$ ++ in my country… Better invest that in ammo and range time

Your gauge is horrible

Don’t cut the spring bent it angle of the leg Jesus
Do you clip both sides of the spring
Hey, appreciate the video. What does cutting the hammer spring benefit?
Highly recommend ALG lube as well. Just starting lubing triggers after 35 years of shooting. Makes phenomenal difference even on my 25 year old 870.
Helps to measure your trigger from a steady perpendicular pull.. or the angle could mess up no matter how many times you avg. it.
No offense I’m sure your in the neighborhood, but for PSA sake lol

Thank you!
Toss the dremel, get some good Arkansas stones for the sear, keep them flat. Maintain proper angles.
Jam an earplug sideways in the receiver in front of the hammer when you're done, to use as a cushion to test.
AWESOME VIDEO BRO! Improved it so much!
