ok, heres the write-up, and the obvious disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form responsible for what you do with your weapon. blah blah blah.. and so on.
heres what you need, although, feel free to replace any item/tools as you see fit. although, I will say, Im HOOKED on coconut coffee... I know it sounds really gay.. but damn, its good!
take the gun apart..
manually cock the hammer back. turn the safety for the 45 degree mark, as shown. i used the backside of of of my punches to get it started, then you can just pull it out w/ your fingers.
notice the spring loaded piton here. this will come into play later.
1) put your palm about an inch in front of the hammer, pull the trigger, allowing the hammer to fall. DONT just let it slam. make sure you guide it down easily.
take pin 2 out. you may want to have your hand or whatever over the top so things dont just go flying. next, remove pin 3. same thing with the hand.
with a pair of pliers, youll want to bend the trigger spring. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SMOOTH PART OF THE PLIERS. if you put a nick in the spring, over time it will probably break.
bend BOTH legs of the spring like so.. try to bend them symmetrically. I kind of failed at that, but it really doesnt matter.
next, clip this leg of the spring. Im not going to call it left or right, just for fear of confusing camera left, or gun left. you can see the orientation of the spring. do it like this.
next, you want to file the front (1) of the sear. its already pretty smooth out of the factory, but it can be improved. I started by laying 220 grit sandpaper on the counter, and running the sear over the paper. make sure you sand in the direction that the sear travels while being used. (up & down, not left to right) i only dragged the sear on the paper, pulling it towards me, (holding it as if it were in the gun, and you were going to shoot) not pushing it away from me. after using the 220 grit, i grabbed a stone wheel from a dremel kit, and used that. i know some people use polishing compound. I didnt, but it will work. sand that until its nice & smooth. once you get it to where you want it to be, (remember, youre not trying to take off a bunch of material, youre just smoothing it out.) MAKE SURE you smooth the upper edge out (2). i picked up the stone, and dragged it from the topside to start, then just smoothed out the transition as needed.
next, put the springs back on the correct pieces, and drop in the trigger assembly. then, the safety. if sure it could be done in a different order, but this is how i did it. MAKE SURE that when youre putting the pins back in, you put the grooved end of them pointing towards the left side of the gun as you shoot it.
remember that piton? start to slide the safety in, when you reach that piton, use something ( i used a beveled punch, so i could cup the point of the piton, and not slip off) to push it down, as to allow the safety to pop into place.
then put the hammer assembly back in. make sure you lube it up nice AND test it (again, not letting the hammer fall on its own.) before you close things up. you should notice a HUGE difference.
put the upper and lower back together, load it up w/ stingers or whatever you like, and shoot whatever needs to be shot... targets, rodents, ...stuff. ;-)
then..all you have to do is smile, as you pull the trigger of what feels like a totally different gun! (cartwheels optional)
im going tomorrow.. even though its supposed to be about 11 outside. should be fun!
