Thank you sir! I'll relieve the inserts for the PPK/S and the Ruger I suppose.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, I stumbled on it using Google. I ordered a set of 1911 inserts but they are backlogged. You guys talk about changing mags, is there a hole in the insert to allow access to the magcatch? I bought two insert sets from a widow on ebay, one PPK/S and the other Ruger .22...

Taking Bullseye's advice I added the reset limit screw in the trigger. Suddenly it wouldn't accept a mag! The magazine would go to within 1/2" of full insertion and stop. It could be forced but then had to be whacked with a screw driver to get it out. I looked it over and saw a white spot on the tri...

How many coils are on the factory spring in relation to the reduced spring offered by Wolff? Has anyone cut the coils to match and what was the results? How many coils were removed? I did that last night, cut two coils off. Got a reduction of 1/2 lb with many other things done too. Looking at the p...

Thanks to everyone who guided me in this. The pressure was on. My gunsmith told me to just buy the Volquartsen sear, but I had the PC jig and said I'd use that. He said to come back and get the Volquartsen after I screwed up my sear! After being told I would screw it up I had to succeed! Worked late...

Well, I did it, first time for a trigger job. Polished the sides of everything, the sear and draw bar and hammer where they rub on the sides, removed two coils from the mainspring, polished the hammer strut end and, of course honed the hammer hook to .022 engagement. (Down from .030) The sear I ston...

Well, for the record, I just called Power Custom and they said to use the MkI/MkII adaptor. I sorta thought that might be the case.

Well, I already have the stoning jig, and know several people with Ruger MkIII's. It would be worth it to me, yes, if I knew that others had done it and that the fixture was available. Perhaps I'll email Power Custom. Thanks guys.

Power custom fixture and Ruger MkIII

I have a Power Custom sear stoning jig series 1, and wish to either stone the sear and/or hammer or buy a Volquartsen sear. I saw that Power Custom sells a fixture for the Ruger MkI and II but not the MkIII. I also read somewhere that it can't be stoned by a normal person but only extra special peop...
