I don't have a clew how to do a trigger job. But I did read an article by a gunsmith who does have a clue. He said many parts in a gun are surface hardened & when a tinkerer grinds or polishes, he removes the surface hardening, exposing the softer metal underneath, which results in a part that wears out prematurely. And it also changes the angle. But it works smoothly--until it fails, making the gun unreliable or unsafe.
This is interesting information, which might actually be of value if it applies to the Glock fire control mechanism.
Which surfaces within the Glock action - EXACTLY - are surface hardened?
Extending - when an aftermarket trigger bar, firing pin, connector, trigger housing, or firing pin block, which surface which was surface hardened is no longer such?
Equally - could you elaborate as to how, by its own virtue, stoning or polishing internal action components of a Glock pistol will "also change the angle"? And to which angles within the Glock Safe Action pistol design are you referring? Which are the critical angles which must remain as delivered from factory, lest they eventually fail?
This. Anytime you're adjusting trigger individual bits, things may or may not line up the way that they ought to.There's a big difference between changing grips, and dropping in race triggers.
AR triggers are a bit of a different beast. They're generally true packs, as in everything is all inside one self contained fiddle-proof package.
Electroless Nickel Plating is used as a rust preventive NOT a metal hardener.
The amount of miss information out there about Glocks is STAGGERING.
