Im going to be installing the Apex Forward Set Sear and Trigger in an M&P Fullsize. I ordered their armorers block as well. Aside from basic hand tools what small detail oriented tools should I get to do this installation?
Excellent suggestion. I did that working on my car and it made my life easier.Some of the springs can be installed more than one direction or their correct position is not readily apparent when going back together. Take close up pictures with your phone for future reference as you take it apart.
A big old white terry-cloth bath-towel spread out on the kitchen table is 'pretty' ideal.I agree on working in ideal conditions but life isn't always ideal
One thing I do for keeping things organized during disassembly is use a muffin pan to put parts in. It keeps them grouped by assembly and much less likely to wander all over the work surface, floor, etc.Any ideas on how to keep from losing pins and springs? I know this thing is full of tiny springs. I hate losing them then having to put the whole project on hold while waiting on new pins to arrive.
Another great idea. Beats my shoe boxesegg carton works too
I dry fired a bunch last night. I like it a lot. See how it shoots this weekend. My next question is...do I want the RAM as well? Im not wild about doing this much work on my Shield which I carry. Ive replaced the sear. I might just leave it alone. Afterall it won't be the same as the FSS setup anyways.Cool. You'll need to get used to the different trigger. Feels like a completely new gun.
Friend of mine who is a much better shooter than I told me that trying to shoot to the reset actually slows some people down. Ive also seen reset shooters get "trigger freeze".If you're a "reset shooter" you'll like the RAM. I could take it or leave it. The trigger moves so little that I'm not sure it's necessary. I installed the RAM with the trigger and haven't tried the new trigger without it so take that with a grain of salt. The RAM is an easy drop-in.
