Well, I was not planning a 2 year update necessarily, but my gun had other ideas. Exactly as Tom had noted earlier on, my factory stainless strain screw has caused me some problems.
The last couple of years, shooting several thousands rounds, have been perfect. Recently, I started to see an occasional light primer strike. I also seemed to feel that the gun was getting smoother. Turns out the nose of the strain screw has gotten a little flattened. And, the sides of the ribs on my hammer spring are a little deformed at the point where the screw bears. Not smoother, but certainly lighter.
I installed a wider target trigger on the gun a few months after I started this thread, so I do not an exact before poundage number, but if my notes are correct, it seems I have lost about half to 3/4's of a pound on my DA trigger pull weight.
Off to the sack of 8-32 screws I picked up at Tom's suggestion, way back when, that I neglected to fit.....way back when.
