Adjusting Trigger Plate lever procedure

[nukem556]

Well maybe I just got lucky, but I placed my sideplate upside down in a padded vise and heated the trigger lever with a propane torch till it was dull red and carefully bent it a little ...doesnt take much to change the angle and amount of take up. I'm pretty sure my lever is original. While still hot, I quenched it in oil, hopefully re-hardening it.....no problems so far.
