The 41 byf that I just purchased last Thursday shoots reasonably well looks good as a parts gun, and fits well with my other WWII piece (Garand). The main problem I have with it is that the take-down lever is far too tight. It is so tight that it gouges the trigger plate and requires a tool to pry it into the 6 o'clock position to field strip the pistol.

The question here is, should I work on the trigger plate in order to reduce the drag and be able to field strip the pistol by hand or leave it alone? I think the trigger plate would have to be worked by hand with a stone. The surface bluing is gone due to the gouging already taking place.

Thoughts?
