Worked great, and no extra material needed. Go gently, a little goes a long way.

I've also done that a time or two but not knowing the OP's skill level I decided not to mention it. It does work great and, I suspect, is how a unit armorer may have corrected the problem. The JB Weld solution is safer but either will work.

I am guessing the trigger is not hardened. Since this is a numbers matching piece I will opt for the JB weld. I do not have a way to apply a constant, measured amount of force.

Since the JB takes time to cure and then I have to work it will be several days before I report back.

I will try to remember to take pictures before and after at least. Honestly I am not good at the 'lets take pictures' part. I am more of a 'lets get it done guy'.

Thank you,

Stephen
