Anyone interested in a Zastava M70 - M85 Trigger adjustment how-to video?

Pretty much as asked in the title.

Recently picked up an M85 full stock in 7.62x39. Quite happy with it for the price point.

The one thing I wasn't super impressed with out of the box was the trigger. A bit spongy and heavy. I did some googling around and discovered that it was a fully adjustable trigger (ref: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/939754-Old-Zastava-manual?highlight=zastava ). Took it apart and was really impressed with how fine-tunable the trigger really is. Took it all the way down to a 2lb, very crisp trigger (will probably move it back up to 3lb for field shooting).

Made a quick "teaser" video of the end result. Was wondering if anyone here would find it useful to have a full how-to video, which some people find easier than sorting through the old manuals and fiddling their way through.

Filming a how to video would be quick and easy. Editing it takes some time, so I just wanted to gauge the interest a bit before I went ahead.

Yes please. I have an m70 and this would be great. It's always a pain trying to figure things out from the manual.

Btw, what trigger pull gauge are you using?

Cheers,

An RCBS mechanical trigger pull gauge. Bitter experience over the years has led me to the firm conclusion that "battery operated gizmos with LCD displays left in the garage don't do well when it hits -30". It's accurate enough for my purposes, simple, and basically unbreakable.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I'll take a stab at it over the next few days/week or so.

Mostly interested in doing it if other people might find it useful. If nothing else, it will encourage people to look at the trigger pack in these rifles. For a mid-priced rifle, I didn't expect anywhere near this quality of a trigger group.
