Got my Ghost trigger bar reset today!
Inside the USPS box was a 2010 catalog, a small decal, a large decal, a business card, and the Ghost Rocket 3.5 trigger bar reset.
I was going to wait to install until this weekend, and take video and/or photos. However, I didn't want to split my focus between camera(s) and the install, I figure someone else would do a much better job of that, the Ghost, Inc. site has excellent photos already, and I just couldn't wait.
It took about two hours. I went slow, taking off roughly 0.01" at a time, until the trigger would break. The break was a bit indistinct, and required a bit more effort at the end of the trigger's travel than I would have liked. At that point, I started taking off about 0.005" at a time. Once I liked the pull, I took it apart one last time, polished with some Flitz, and reassembled. I hope to get to the range soon to test, but dryfiring feels great. There's a slight "click" right before the trigger breaks that I'm unsure of, but it isn't anything horrible and I can live with it. It feels much better than the striker I have with cut coils from the striker spring.
I was familiar with gutting the SR9 to the fire control components before, but it wasn't something I was eager to do. I'm an expert at it now. It does require a lot of patience to fit. Go slow. Take off a little material at a time. Reassemble. Test. Disassemble. Repeat. My fingertips are sore and a bit raw from multiple disassembly and reassmebly, but it was worth it.
Once I get to the range with it, I'll post an update.
