Mark 3, volquartsen sear, creep in trigger pull.

[oilcangary]

Me again, been hame sick with nothing else to do but mess with this gun. I finally solved the take down problem(sorta) but now I have a new one. I finally went to the mailbox today and what did I find but my hammer bushing and Volquartsen sear. I installed both after loosing the little plunger in the safety a dozen times,lol. Now The trigger has a very tiny bit of creep in it. It may be a little lighter but the creep bothers me because it wasn't there before. It's not much barely there. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Maybe a Volquartsen hammer? I want to keep the factory trigger. Do you think it will get better or worse the more I shoot it? As I already said it is a very tiny bit of creep.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

should not be the trigger itself but the sear, hammer engagement...check for burrs on the trigger bar (disconnector)....................slather the works in Lubriplate, and shoot the snot out of it........

I think that's what I'm going to do, just shoot the snot out of it.
Thanks,Gary.

thats about the easiest way, time and use, lets all the parts wear in together, to each other, and of course , the occasional drop of oil :wink:

I took it back apart tonight and compaired the Volqartsen sear to the factory sear. The factory sear was more polished on the end that engages the hammer. So I took out my dremmel...JUST KIDDING... I don't even own one. What I really did was I took a couple Q-tips and some polishing compound (the kind made to use on you cars paint) and polished the end of the sear a little. I had dry fired it fifty to a hundred times before I did this. I know you shouldn't dry fire it too much and I ain't going to do it anymore. Anyway the creep is all but gone. What I was feeling was the sear dragging as it released the hammer. By dry firing, polishing, and a little oil it has pretty much disappeared. I believe after I finish off this box of 500 rounds it should be gone.
Edit- I couldn't stand it any longer. I took the receiver back off the frame and polished the sear some more. All I can say is WOW. No creep at all and the trigger pull feels like it dropped a pound. Did I get a bad sear? Why wasn't it polished at the factory?
