Looking for some advice from someone that has more experience than I do. I am NOT a trained gunsmith, however I am certainly not bubba, that I can assure you.
The 19-3 basket case that I received that had serious push off and the cross threaded strain screw, I started to fit my NOS hammer to.
I believe that I have hand fitted all the parts to a smooth action in terms of fitment.
My problem lies in the fact that there is a centering problem with the hammer on the frame whereby it is rubbing on the frame side as it descends to the firing pin hole.
Is the proper way to fix the alignment via a shim, say from power custom, or some other means?
Also when fitting the hammer and trigger combination, is the sole driving force to get the SA sear to fit in the notch below the sear engagement hooks on the trigger, the height of the DA sear?
I realize the the DA sear must be stoned to, when the hammer is at rest, to slip over and on tope of the trigger sear engagement hooks. However, should it be stoned enough to allow it to rest on the hook or is there a clearance distance that must be there?
Any advise is appreciated and welcomed !! BTW I did look in the shop manual but I cannot seem to find a direct citation that this is the correct methodology.
Thanks
Nick
