[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3704539, member: 15054"] If you can watch the mechanism in action and see what hooks to what you can polish those surfaces that slid across each other. 1500 and then 2000 grit wet sandpaper. Wet it with a small amount of spit or oil does not matter. Clean and retest. Now if there is a spring that applies tension you can reduce the spring diameter a bit and that will reduce the pressure it creates. Use that same 1500-2000 paper and sand the spring diameter down NOT the length. That works on a round coil spring not on a spring with legs like an AR has. I tweak the legs on my AR to get pull weight down. The sanding on mating surfaces does very well though. I have most of my triggers in the 2.5-4.5 lb range and most break clean without creep. I have had many people shoot my rifle and place their finger on the trigger after they are on target and the gun goes off before they thought it would. I guess they anticipated creep and harder trigger pull. [/QUOTE]
