JB for smoothing actions?

[Rev]

That reminds me of my first Ruger standard model of about 1960. Cost me a whopping $37.50 and I had to take my mom with me to the gun store to even buy it as I was only 16.

Of course the trigger was awful, and I tried to do a trigger job on it myself. Yes, you guessed it, a whole magazine at full auto every time. I did have to take it to a gunsmith for a new hammer and sear. That was almost 50 years ago, but I still remember it well.

That's why I don't do much to the hammer notch or the actual engagement surface of the sear or hammer. I do shorten that engagement though to get rid of the creep. I figured that the bore cleaner treatment would not change that positive engagement angle and it did not. I can't be certain, but I do believe that the bore cleaner treatment helped the smoothness of the trigger pull some.

Anyway, I did end up with a nice clean, crisp, and safe 2 lb. trigger pull, and that's just right for me.
