How to Polish Mil Spec AR-15 Trigger
Polishing a Mil Spec AR-15 trigger is a task that requires precision, patience, and the right tools. Whether you’re looking to improve the feel of your trigger pull or simply want to maintain your firearm, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Understanding the Mil Spec AR-15 Trigger
The Mil Spec AR-15 trigger is known for its crisp, clean break and minimal overtravel. It’s designed to provide a consistent and reliable trigger pull, which is crucial for accuracy. Before you begin polishing, it’s important to understand the components involved:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The part of the firearm that is pulled to fire the weapon. |
| Trigger Bow | The curved portion of the trigger that provides the leverage for the pull. |
| Trigger Pivot Pin | The pin that holds the trigger in place and allows it to pivot. |
| Trigger Spring | The spring that returns the trigger to its original position after being pulled. |
| Sear | The part of the firearm that engages with the hammer to fire the weapon. |
These components work together to create the trigger pull. Polishing the trigger involves smoothing out any imperfections in these parts to reduce friction and improve the overall feel of the trigger.
