Trigger jobs and action jobs differ in many ways. A trigger job for most gunsmiths only involves stoning the
proper angles on the sear and hammer, lowering the hammer hooks and changing out the mainspring. Once the
desired pull weight and let off are achieved they are done.
An action job involves all moving parts of the gun, deburing the frame and parts, removing tool marks and then
polishing all the parts. The last thing done on an action job is to stone the sear and hammer, lowering the hammer
hooks and changing out the mainspring if desired. This includes the firing pin and firing pin block, hammer
strut, trigger and trigger bar, disconnector, pins, hammer sides, and sear sides. All of these parts need a
lower friction coefficient for a smoother feeling trigger pull and to ensure that nothing is hindering or taking
away the full force of the actual strike of the firing pin against the chambered round. A trigger job is easy
and not all that time consuming but an action job requires attention to the smallest detail and is very time
consuming and labor intensive.
There is a big difference between the two, and we only do action jobs. Make sure that your gun gets a true
action job, whoever does the work
