Upgrading the trigger itself was super easy. You will have to remove all of the internals which only takes about one minute once you're familiar with the process. Only one pin is under pressure, and that is the one at the base of the grip. Getting a trigger with tighter tolerances to prevent some more side to side and up to down movement was a good upgrade itself. Just get some 600 grit sandpaper and slowly take some material off of the top and/or bottom of the trigger as required to make it fit just right.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

Mine has the overtravel adjustment and I'm not to sure about it. It feels like it has taken out some of the in and out free movement of the trigger but it is nearly bottomed out. Any ideas on that?
