I was thinking of getting this trigger group modification done on one of my M-305 norcs and and a Garand.

The hammer and trigger are re-heat treated (as long as they are forged, like a norc or USGI bits), the contact spots are re-ground and a new set of oversized hardened pins are added, along wth a new SEI spec'd spring. The whole group is then refinished.

Just curious if anyone else was contemplating...

What for ?
It's nice and all but unless your trigger body is starting to get loose pin syndrome from the holes getting enlarged or ovalled, I really don't see the point.
Big cash, potential border hassles are the obvious downside. If you lived in the US, I'd probably have a different opinion but still, cost vs gain is something to consider even when it comes to smith ent services and products (which I am a fan of btw)
 
Paperwork isn't that big of a deal, along with the corresponding wait, if you've done it before... ...and I wouldn't post if not plannig to dot i's and cross t's.

I've found norc trigger group components to be a bit soft, so the reheat treat makes sense right out of the gate. I usually swap out with surplus USGI; however, the opportunity to fit precisely beforehand and then toss in a refisnish is attractive. Noting too that the oversized SEI pins used are relatively hard so I would not expect the wear I've seen to date (norc or USGI) and the resultant consistancy. I find the pin fit to housing from factory can be a little less than optimal to begin with anyhow...

I'll admit that it is not for everyone. But factoring in the cost differential between selling original equipment and obtaining USGI plus a good 'smith fitting, I don't see it as an excessive cash outlay. Just curious if anyone else contemplating, or already had done for that matter.

Yer #### will fall off! No just kidding... :nest:

In all truth, save yer money! I'm not joking about that! You want a good trigger on an accurate rifle get a Savage (or Rem or Sako or Winny) and install a Timney, or other custom trigger.

You wanna smoother M14 trigger/sear combo ? It's really easy, and you can even try using some toothpaste if you don't have 800 grit valve grinding compound to place in the hammer hooks/trigger sear contact points. Then once you add this improvised grinding compound, play with your trigger over 1000x :eek: or one entire Leafs game (actually, they are playing really well when they beat my Oilers 6-3 the other night). :)

Just save your money for practice ammo! Then get out and shoot like the zombies are coming! :runaway: Well, okay not the zombies! But the NDP'ers were warning us that once the LGR is abolished then Armaggedon will happen! :cool:

:cheers:

When the upgrade first became available I balked at the cost, but went ahead and had the MAX-PAK performed on a TRW trigger group.
The results were outstanding... I have had the upgrade performed on 2 TRW and 3 Poly Tech trigger groups. Money well spent - go for it.
