Title: Re: Resurrecting Dad's "Old Lucky" Post by Dads Krag on Sep 29th, 2014 at 10:27am
I got the buttplate inletted a few days ago.
Yesterday I made a small .055" thick pad from a short section of a screw slot file. I soldered it to the bottom of the reciever so that the sear & the forward edge of the trigger rests on it. I had previously polished all of the bearing surfaces. I now have a single stage trigger that breaks cleanly at a consistent 3# Sear engagement is still ample. I tried slamming the bolt closed several times & also bumped the butt down smartly on a wood block to test for accidental striker release. No failures. If you have an already "sporterized" Krag that is not a candidate for restoration this is an easy modification that can quickly be reversed if desired. |
