Ok I’m an idiot.
I picked up a Cylinder & Slide trigger for my BHP and installed it.
The trigger came with a very slightly undersize pivot hole and as I was reaming it to size I went very slightly oversized.
It’s not more in fact than the fit on the original trigger which was in the gun but it gripes me that I was distracted while doing the work and overshot the fit.
Is there any reasonable fix?
-I could buy a new trigger and try it again.
-Leave well enough alone as it all functions fine.
-Peen the trigger to tighten up the fit on pin.
-Do some sort of plating to close up the fit.
-Get a larger pin/ream frame to tighten up things. (Really reluctant with this one..).
****Leave well enough alone****
I really get put out by these minute misses when I am doing work so I would like to recover but…
I am not seeing a simple fix here.
Thanks
