Trigger Job
What does one actually go when they are doing a trigger job. Its polishing certain parts to my understanding, but what parts, how are they polished etc? When they say "polish" is it the type of polishing you would do with a polishing wheel etc, you are actually polishing the metal? Thanks for any help/info.

...Wow, awful detailed to reply to. What gun(?), rifle(?), handgun??
Lots of things you can do at least to a 1911 w/o screwing it up, or bieng a smith. Change trigger, true trigger bow, polish trigger bow,change to reduced power MS, change sear spring. THEN you start getting into the angles on the sear, polishing etc....WAY best left to a competent smith or you will have it SCREWED up quick.
Polishing Flats, (REALLY fine emory type boards) are used, and fine stones...NOT Dremels. SMITH work usually. One stroke too many and you have at least a sear to replace, not full engagement, and worse.
3 1/2 to 4 lbs if everything else it tight and smooth is a very acceptable trigger weight for 1911's (clones too) When your start getting any lighter, be careful...your getting pretty close to the area of a "hair trigger"...[;)]

what he said, let me add you will need a jig for most hammer and sears, if you get it right the first time i would be very impressed, a trigger job is like the brakes on your car, sure we are all capable of doing it, and most can do it, but you wouldn't let someone or attempt it yourself if ether of you have no experience, just to important, a bad trigger job can lead to accidental discharge, and turn your gun into a uncontrollable class 3 0 -

I've got three triggers for a Remington 241 in a drawer here. All are shaped slightly different. Not sure why.
The 700 Remington has about 5.5 pound of trigger pull when new. Can't hit anything with that much trigger pull.0
