Luger Trigger Tuning Part II

[Hugh]

A considerable amount of creep & weight of pull can be eliminated by taking the following steps:


1. The front surface of the firing pin lug that engages the trigger bar is made at a slight forward angle . Carefully secure the firing pin in a vise which is padded with soft wood or other suitable material. Using a small file or stone, work down the forward bearing surface until it is perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the firing pin. Take your time, being very careful not to create a reverse angle on this surface.


2. With 400 or 600 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper on a small block, polish your work. Finish glass smooth with crocus cloth.


3. Secure the trigger bar in the vise with the sear up, and go over the sharp edge of the sear lightly with 400 or 600 wet-or-dry sandpaper, followed by polishing glass smooth with crocus cloth. The aim of this operation is to smooth this sharp edge enough to lessen its drag on the firing pin lug, nothing more. If youâ??ve done this properly, the sear will still appear sharp, with no visible radius.


If the foregoing steps have been done carefully and correctly, the weight of pull has been reduced from its original seven or eight pounds to roughly two pounds.
