1911 trigger work

Just did my first gun smithing job on my 1997 llama 1911. It was pretty easy to be honest, got the trigger to feel way way better.

Llama's from what I saw on the worn internals arent the greatest quality and "fray" at the edges where it has a wear spot against another piece" but they are cheap fun plinkers that in my experience rarely jam. I think new and after fees it was $350 back in 97 so that gives you an idea of the bang for buck. Now to me its just a project gun.

I just smoothed the crap out of the metal fatique where the end of the sear was "fatigued/frayed/mashed", whatever its called...Im no expert and doubt these are expert terms. Also smoothed out the sides of the sear where it rides against the inside of the frame. Lastly took some tension out of the trigger spring so it is super smooth in action now. Lovin it.

If theres any interest I'll post picks.

And this is why there should be more stringent rules on who can own weapons.

[neg rep] 1911 trigger work 09-14-2009 01:17 AM LABrit; "Don't trip and slip whilst holding that aimed at your head."

Hmmm... I know this is a stretch but do you think you can buy some maturity?
