CUTTIN’ THE FAT (out of an AF trigger)
So the stock trigger is big and blocky and plastic.
Remedied the block of plastic w/ a similarly shaped aluminum one which is good, but got to feeling there was room for improvement.
had to decide why the original was so blocky…..conclusion, enough room for the 4-40 screw and nut to be made into it. Need another way to secure the trigger while thinning it out considerably.
solution: instead of a through bolt, one 6-32 setscrew from each side, trimmed to fit flush with the outside of the trigger.

(also shown the new “redding” finish I tried out on some of the metal parts this week) 😯 😉 Damn Alabama humidity makes it easy.

that’s my high-tech “redding” finish……can’t you read 🙄
No shit though, humidity is a bitch on metal here. Got to wipe everyting down once a week even if unused. Need a good safe and dehumidifier.
later.
sort out that rust!!!! 😯 😆
I like your safety.
😯 Oh just great, just when I order the old style trigger you come up with a new one. 😐
But seriously the new ones look good, looks like more curved area for my fatty trigger finger. Will you be selling them soon?
