Monkeying around with my axis trigger trying to see what I could do with it before I buy a replacement. I decided to relieve the curve on the top of the trigger to keep the sear from rubbing after it brakes.....probably not even an issue now that I look at it, but that was the wild hair I was chasing none the less......
One thing led to another and while grinding the extra relief on my belt grinder I got into the sear engagement on one side just a little, so I decided at that point I was committed and went ahead and ground down the engagement just a little to square it up across the top. Anyway, it took a lot of messing around to get everything straightened out, but it seems to be good. Wondering if I need to surface harden the sear and trigger surfaces or if they are heat treated all the way through?
Thinking I have heard in the past that many are just surface hardened....appears that at least the sear may be normally heat treated and be ok as is. The front face on the trigger where the sear engages has had very little done to it...just a little honing to clean it up, so I am hoping it won't have to be casehardened.
