I pulled my first (trigger) job today...
 
...and my second.

First was on the GSG practice piece and I'm actually a little impressed with the quality of the sear and dis-connector in it. I used the Ed Brown sear tool and a couple brownell stones. Job went really smooth and took about 1/2 hour.

Haven't shot it yet and haven't adjusted the pull weight. It's at 5.25# and feels so good I may leave it.

Since I have the "big head on" with the ease of the GSG job, I took on the RIA .45 GI. Oh what a difference there is in the parts quality. ;^) I took a little longer with the RIA and polished a few things, replaced the sear spring with a Colt sear spring. Now she have a crisp 5# pull and I can't wait to get to the range.

I'm learning as I go with small steps and finding that if I read re-read and UNDERSTAND the directions, it's really fun and not so scary after all. (and a ton of fun)

If you don't have patience, a little mechanical ability and proper tools, DON'T DO THIS YOURSELF. It's not terribly difficult but it is easy to error. Proceed at your own risk.

Shoot Noel, come on over some evening or afternoon and you can use my tools and do yours. I'll even make some fresh coffee. ;)
