Knocking almost a pound off FuzzyGeff's Sigma and an unmeasured but similar amount off Willard's wasn't enough!
The grit was appalling!
So Marv and I (mostly Marv, blame Marv) took apart the sear housing and polished up the poorly faced parts.
There's a helper spring that this video says you don't need so we omitted it from Willards and retained on Geff's.
The reason we kept it on Geff's was his sear spring is a single unit and Willard's is a double.
When all was said and done:
Geff's is down to a SMOOTH 7 lb. 0 oz. from 7 lb. 8 oz. with just the Apex kit. Without the little helper spring it was 6 lb. 8 oz., but the reset became vague.
Willards needed a lot more smoothing out to get it to stop being choppy. No helper spring and the nested springs gave us 9 lb. 0 oz. and it's nice, smooth and crisp. Just a 2 oz. improvement from the Apex only change, but so much more pleasant to pull the trigger on.
