Two-Stage Trigger Remake
After months of keeping the finished two-stage trigger mechanism on my work desk as a fidget toy.... I broke it. It's not as scientific, nor as gimmicky, as how Ikea showed you how they tested their POÄNG chairs in store. But I figured, if I can't even pass this simple durability test, forget scientific methods. It... still works... it's just that the 2nd stage force is no longer as strong as new. It's still very distinct, but, I can feel that it's breaking slowly. So, now I have two choices, assuming the main design does not change. Go Hard Go Flexible. This merits a bit of explanation. The original Otto two-stage trigger uses plastic, mostly plastics of various kinds... I am NOT sorry to break all your all-metal mythologies... My guess is that they are made of Delrin, aka Acetal. Delrin is a very slick substance, not as slick as Teflon, but very close. But... it's very hard, as far as plastic can. It's almost as hard as aluminum. So, you can easily machi...
