It could be the answer to solving the FTF problem some have had when using low velocity or target ammo.

That makes sense.

I would just caution folks not to go hog wild on these parts. I doubt S&W has used top shelf parts considering the general low cost of the rifle. These parts are only case hardened. I realize this isn't a sear surface so material removal isn't going to cause a catastrophic failure here.
