JB for smoothing actions?

[Rev]

I just got a new Ruger .22LR Mark III Hunter. As always, the Ruger (action / trigger / sear / hammer) left a lot to be desired, even on the so called target model.

The trigger pull on Rugers has sometimes been described as "pulling a plow down a rocky road", LOL. I thought Adam might enjoy that farming analogy.

I've spent probably 12-15 hours working on that new Ruger to get the action parts smooth, the trigger take-up (pre-travel) gone, and the over-travel gone. I did do some sear / hammer work to reduce all of that creep that always seems present in Rugers.

Now, I'm going to anoint that sear / hammer interface notch with a good dose of mild abrasive like JB Bore cleaner
(actually the Remington equivalent) and just shoot it or dry fire it a few hundred times to see if that will smooth and lighten the trigger pull some?

I just wondered if anyone, Adam in particular, had any opinions on this procedure? Anyone ever done this before? Thanks for any response on this.
