I'm not sure about what I'll do with that one. I know that I'll swap the grips out, as the ones on there feel huge to me. At the minimum, it will get fresh, light springs and an extended FP. We'll have to see about the finish though. Right now, I'm not digging the patina but maybe it will grow on me.

Speaking of what to do with a 75, I'm still struggling to get the other pre-B working well. I've gone through everything and checked the assembly and all looks good. But, I still get an occasional drop from the SA sear to the DA sear and find that if the gun is pointed normally, like while shooting, the issue happens very consistently. If I point it towards the ground, it does not happen at all.

I'm wondering if the trigger bar ears that ride on the bottom of the slide may be worn, letting the trigger bar sit a bit higher and catching the disconnector when the SA trigger drops. The old hammer required more travel to disengage the taller hammer hooks and that additional travel may be enough to push the trigger bar down below the DA sear surface on the disconnector. I'm not sure where to go right now and may try to build the surface up on the trigger bar somehow to see if that makes a difference. If it does, I'll spend the $69 for a new trigger bar. I'd rather not throw that money at the issue until I'm more confident it will help.

Get in touch with the Wizard.

Yes. I don't think im gonna polish any bring up. Just stick the parts in a see how it is. I was planning to polish the internals, but DOGG seemed to think it was good. It's pretty darn good and I don't want to ruin it.

Lighter springs.

Check the trigger bar spring first to make sure the spring on both sides are in the grooves on the bottom side of the trigger bar. The left side should be in contact with the groove but not much upward pressure. The right side in the groove with heavier upward pressure.

Sounds like it was a great evening for you Chris. They really are amazing when done up right.

My evening was mostly good, with one frustrating part. After checking the spring engagement on the pre-B and still having the issue, I decided to try to hammer/sear in my stainless B to see if they worked better there. While disassembling the sear cage, I got careless with the sear spring while worrying too much about the lifter bar spring. I heard a 'twoing' and then something hitting a shelf behind me across the room. I spent a good hour looking for that and was down to removing each component on the shelf one at a time and on the last shelf, I found it. I also found the trigger return spring that got away from me last month too while I was at it. I really need to order spare springs for nights like these.

Once I found the spring, I just reassembled the stainless 75B with it's factory parts and called it a night. On the bright side, the pre-B is working fine, if not quite tuned, with the factory parts back in and the new transitional cleaned up nicely inside. I'll bring it to the shoot for it's maiden voyage. I may toss a spare set of springs in the bag just in case.

88, glad you found the springs. I think that anyone who works on firearms has launched a few springs. The wife and I are looking forward to Sunday..Going to be spending some time this week loading ammo...

 

[RustyHornet]

I launched the old trigger return spring on the 75 tonight. Didn't bother looking for it...

I have had to get clearance from Houston due to unscheduled launch.

Can I join the club now? Picked up my 75BD last Thursday. I was expecting a stiff trigger with it being a D model, but it trigger feels good as it is.
