Foxtrotx1 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Title says it all. After shooting my Colt for a year or so in matches I want to drop a bit off the trigger and clean it up. Will the stock Colt parts be gtg for a quality trigger job from a good smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The Colt parts should work ok, but you're better off replacing them. New ones will give a better result and last longer. Also, a significant part of the cost is labor, and that's going to be the same either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'd go with new EGW parts if it were me. I'd keep the stock parts in my range bag as a back up. I like having back up's of things. I find having a spare means shit never breaks. But that thing you only have one of....look out. Plus EGW makes great high quality parts, and they support our sport. All my guns are sporting EGW internals now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absocold Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Can do a pretty decent trigger job with most manufacturers stock parts. Some MIM parts can be hit or miss. Stone work on case hardened parts is a no no unless you re-harden afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxer1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 EGW is what I always replace them with. No MIM parts and don't have to worry about working down too much and getting soft spots on the hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBoettcher Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 EGW makes great parts! You'll get a nice pull just dropping them in no doubt. There is a good chance your thumb safety wont function due to the different sear position, you may have to have it fitted again. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
