I came across this and thought I would give it a try. http://www.junkyardgenius.com/firearms/ar-15/ar08.html
It worked pretty good and the trigger stop improved the travel and feel of the trigger but now the safety doesn't work ie the hammer will drop no matter if the selector is on safe or fire. I filed the trigger part protruding into the selector hole and I must have removed too much. I assume I should I have scribed it with the hammer in the cocked position and I don't recall but I must have done it in the fire position?
I have another hammer coming but I think I'll try to get a spot of weld on the original and play with it some more.
or maybe I should toss the old trigger and set screw and forget it. I was trying to get a cheap trigger job for my varmint AR. The set screw was only 36 cents but the new hammer is costing me $14. still a pretty cheap lesson I guess.
