bountyhunter Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hi,The topic description says it all. This is gonna be my first attempt to install one. Please give me some good pointers and advice. Thanks alot. Jesse Jack Weigand describes the proper way to set the tension on a sear spring in his article on trigger jobs: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/General/D...?f=bt002005.pdf Basically, he recommends setting the left leaf (that presses on the sear) to the same net tension as the center leaf (which presses on the trigger/disconnector). If you have a good trigger pull gauge, you can meausure the forces at the trigger from each leaf. If this is a stock 1911, a target of about 5# would be sensible for trigger pull. That means about two pounds pressure EACH on the two sear spring leafs mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
