I picked up some USGI parts today at a gunshow. Parts looked great and are no doubt made of tool steel. I found everything that I needed with the exception of a disconnector. Anyhoo, I just put my new sear in and checked the trigger pull with the slide still off (don't worry, I captivated the hammer with my thumb). My problem is... it feels like an EIGHT pound pull now!
How do I remedy this? My wife's emory board maybe? Please advise what to do. I want to get rid of all these MIM parts in my prized Colt Reproduction. Got me a checkered trigger too.
By the way... I seen a lot of .45s today. Even some old war horses, but that's beside the point I'm about to make. Guess what, NO Kimbers at the show. None. Seen Wilsons, Colts, SAs, Llamas, more Colts, and yet more Colts but NOT one single Kimber, not even a used one. I was laughed at when I offered to trade my LNIB CDP for a blued Gold Cup National Match with $859 marked on it. Nobody seemed interested in Kimbers... Strange indeed. Oh yeah, seen a pair of GCNM Colts in the original boxes. Mint. Sequentially numbered. All small parts had that old-timey Colt Bluing and was a different shade than the bluing on the slide and frame. I was in love...
