Here's something I was pondering yesterday as I was doing a trigger job on a TRP.
All trigger pulls have some creep........
No don't get your tails in a knot 'til I give you my theory. It may not hold good 'ol h2o, but its food for a good THR discussion.
So here's the parameters.......
I generally use Brown's Hardcore Barstock Hammers, which come with the hooks already cut at .020
Now if the sear nose out of the box is ......say .020, then you stone off the relief angle, which some say 1/4 of the total nose, where Brown says 1/3........so since we're using a Brown hammer........let's go with the 1/3 figure. So that leaves .013+ of sear engagement. Which means the trigger will have .013+ of creep........no?
Because the sear must clear the hooks of the .013+ engagement before the hammer will fall.
If my theory blows...........oh well. Just was doin' some thinkin' while working on this gun.
