I tore apart my series 80 gold cup to figure out why the trigger pull is so bad on it. Very long and rough in general. My conclusion was it is all of the series 80 parts so I very lightly stoned them and put them back together with a bit of grease and got it working again.
The problem was the sear spring. It is this dinky little spring and lever are that fit on the sear on a gold cup and sit next to the disconnector. I used a slave pin to assemble them (greased) and put them in that way. What a pain to do though.
Does anyone have some tips on how I could have done it easier?
I know I have to take it apart someday because I have a EGW gold cup lightweight trigger coming because I want to remove that really heavy steel one. Also I am seriously considering "de-series 80-ing" the gun and replace the hammer, sear, and disconnector along with put in a brownells shim to fill the gaps for the series 80 parts. My solution to the problem right now is to remove the offending pieces and part of me thinks that is a bit foolish.
