�I used to think forging a trigger was a big deal, then I took a piece of steel and just started pounding on it... soon enough I had what resembled a trigger, not a big deal at all! With a little practice it's really not too difficult to make something you wouldn't be embarassed to use on your next project. The family has a new digital camera, so for your consideration is a quick how-to on forging a trigger. (https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/HelmsDown/Trigger%20Forging/TriggerForging001a.jpg)

Thank you for the post.
Quite similar to what I have been doing, but your methods just confirmed my madness.
All the best
