Sear block in Colt ARs

Can these sear blocks be removed without too much trouble? The reason of this is that I would like to put a good two stage match trigger in my Colts and can not find one that will fit because of the sear block. I checked Bushmaster, and they say specifically it want fit Colts with sear block. I wonder is this because of the sear block solely, or is it because of the larger trigger pins that Colt uses in their rifles that's the problem, or both?

Any and all help appreciated.

  Yes it can be done, I can't remember who thou. If you go to ar15.com
  one of the venders there does it. I've seen the pics and you can't tell it had a sear block. The hole is filled and refinished.

  You can put an Accuracy Speaks trigger in without modifying your Colt rifle. More info here http://www.egpworld.com/hp/ar-15/ACCURACY_SPEAKS.htm

  Thanks for the info Rick. I am wondering if the current Colt triggers can be made better without the expense of installing a the two stage by Accuracy Speaks. The cost appears to be close to $260 when you figure of cost of a new two stage trigger ($135), Accuracy Speaks installation ($75), and then shipping and handling both ways ($50). I guess if I were to invest that much into a trigger job, for another $135 I would just buy a new Bushmaster DCM lower and be done with it ($395). That would save alot of time and trouble.
  
  I may be wrong, but installing and improving a trigger in a rifle should not have to be that big of a deal. My Remingtons are not like that. I am starting to believe that it will better to just get rid of my Colts and go Bushmaster all the way.
  
  Colt should be ashamed for putting these crappy a$$ triggers in their guns, and then making it impossible for owners to correct the problem without incurring considerable time and expense. Producing a gun that the owner cannot work on because of PC is total BS. I consider this to be a very big mistake on Colts part, and has pissed me off.
