-I used 1200 grit wet/dry paper to get it smooth. But one thing I DID NOT TOUCH was the sear and the hook on the striker. I polished the trigger bar assembly only. After polishing it with the sandpaper to remove all burs, stamping/machining marks, I cleaned everything. Then everything that I polished, I repolished with Flitz metal polish. It made the trigger bar look almost like a piece of chrome. I didn't use any lube on the side of the trigger bar where it rubs along the frame. The only parts I dabbed lube on was the return spring and where the bar sits in the notch of the sear block to cock the striker back.
That, along with the Apex spring kit I put in, dropped the trigger pull down to between 6lbs 1oz to 6lbs 4oz. These were the averages after many 10 pull tests with a pull gauge. It is also buttery smooth now. No grit can be felt while slowly pulling the trigger or slowly releasing it. Must say that I am extremely happy with it now. Maybe took an hour of polishing and about 10-15 minutes replacing the springs...
L8R,
Matt
