Norinco NS522 build: NEW MAG RELEASE

I finally started doing some mods today on mine. I polished the bolt, and trigger surfaces, as well as replacing the spring, the pull went down from 3lbs to 1 1/4lbs.It breaks very crisply with almost zero creep. I was hoping it would have come in at about 2lbs pull but I'll give it a try like this. Next is getting pillar blocks epoxied in place.
 
I didn't take any this time, but next time I have it apart to do the pillar blocks I'll take a couple.I'll try it out with the new trigger spring next trip to the range. I think that will make an improvement over the stock spring.

Windy, about 20 kph from the right, 70 yds, late afternoon from inside the garage facing west. I had picked up some better ammo from Gobles for fun, they say there will be lots more coming in, and all about 10% higher due to the exchange rate. These are the last of these targets which have been around for years, hence the torn up look. As far as picking an ammo to go and buy a case of, I'm not finding a big difference once you get into the target rounds. They are all shooting better than the "regular" ammo, especially the bulk stuff we all love so much. I'm afraid most of the differences after that are my fault!
For measuring, I just took 4/16 off the outside to outside measure, (note the $3.00 calipers!), so yes, I fudged in my favor, just to feel better lol. I like these targets because of the white centre, when it disappears from the crosshairs, it's as good as it's gonna get. The straight black bullseye is a bit harder for me. I think my trigger is the weak point now, I have some creep I have to smooth out or fix. Just an awesome amount of fun!!! Who knew making tiny little holes all touching( occasionally!) could be so gratifying!

Hi Acunning

Very nice shooting !!!

Mine will be on route to me very soon ..................
 
I'm actually sending this to a g-smith to get it done. This is the pic of my friends trigger. I'm in the states don't know the laws of trigger work from out of country.

For those wondering,

Next will be an adjustable sear, and an "enhanced" mag release lever, as the factory one is not what I like.

looks nice , how well does it work now ??




Hows that????? An adjustable sear you say?

Yep. Done like dinner.........

Spot the difference? Of course you do! That wee spot
Was made for an adjustable sear. The real reason for the set nut on the over-travel screw was to offer more adjustability based on the sear contact and to accept the new trigger return spring. If you notice, I made the sear adjustment screw accessible from outside the fastened trigger guard. That way all I have to is remove the action from the stock and adjustments can be made. Observant readers will probably notice yet another trigger spring. I am working on two separate springs next. One for the actual trigger pull and one for the sear reset. I am going to make the sear adjustable for pull weight and leave the trigger pull set and non adjustable. This way I should have full adjustability (within a small range) of the overall trigger pull. The spring for the actual trigger will fit around the over-travel set screw and will be a coil type. It will need to only be very small, as its main function will be to reset the trigger to the sear. The sear will be more of a challenge, as I have made an adjustable plunger for it, but getting it so it can be adjusted from outside the sealed assembly is my main challenge. It will also be of a coil type, but I am not 100% convinced it needs to be adjustable yet. I may not, as only further testing will tell.

Looks good , how well does it work ???
 
I am would love to see someone else's take on a custom trigger. This trigger has been such a labour of love for me and countless hours spent tinkering and tuning.
