Well, I better bring everyone up to date. I received all new parts from Bill on Saturday to replace the ones lost in the mail. Looking them over, I could see several places where bill have polished up the hammer notch and the trigger almost mirror bright. I had to fit the trigger as bill puts a travel stop in it and it had to be filed just a little to let the safety fit back through the receiver. I had it in and out of the frame about 10 times as I didn't want to take any more off the stop than I absolutely had to. When that was done, I tried it out. It is very smooth, a very small amout of take up, then it breaks. It feels great. But I do have to say, it doesn't feel like a 4# pull and I'll have to get a trigger gauge on it to know for sure. Feels more like 6#. I emailed Bill and let him know what I thought. He said that because the trigger spring is new, to leave it cocked, and in short order I would have a 4# trigger pull. Had I received my old hammer spring back, it would have been fine. So there we are. I'm very happy with Bill's work and him standing behind the lost parts. After we leave it sit cocked a couple of weeks, I'll get a trigger gauge on it and let you know what we have. 44 Man
