WyoMan:
So what’s new?... The only thing that I’ve found new is the trigger… and it’s a huge improvement. The trigger has a nice two-stage setup with a snappy resetting first-stage. More on that later…

Here’s the gun out of the box:



First thing I did was a give it a good oiling. Apply oil to the oil wick (white spongy thing) when it’s aligned with the oiler hole. The first stage seal (blue thing) will be seen first when the overlever is about 20º open. Open it a bit further and you’ll see the oil wick as shown:



I oiled it until it was shooting oil out of the barrel. Perfect. The light-weight oil carries debris with it, keeping the internals clean. It also keeps the seals wet. The surface oil on the seals will do three things - all are good. It reduces wear on the sliding surfaces, it provides a more positive low-pressure seal, and it’s a barrier for O2 and O3 degradation.

Next was a good barrel cleaning and it needed it. But surprisingly, the barrel leade and the end cut looked pretty good. And the breech seal actually seals (I think):



The 2-stage trigger is really good right out of the box... not quite on par with a HW-75 or FAS-6004, but close. After trying all of the adjustments (and there are many), I returned them all to the factory setting except for the second-stage position. The adjustment screw for the second stage was turned-in 1/2 turn CW. This adjustment made the second-stage a little more crisp without hanging the snappy reset of first-stage.

This trigger assembly is complex enough that it has its own manual:


My initial thoughts were to leave everything as-is… and I don’t think there’s anything that has to be done aside from cleaning and lube.
But, I did replace the fake brake with a real one, installed a 1 MOA reflex dot, and then some walnut grips for now:



Range report to follow…

brewbear:
Sir, you took a nice gun and made it beautiful. If it shoots like it looks, it will be a great one.
Enjoy it in good health.
Cheers,
Ted

lizzie:
Very nice, Gary.  Beautiful gun!

mrbulk:
Very nice upgrades to an already cool pistol, can't wait to receive my .22...

jkingrph:
And might I ask where you sourced those grips.  I have a pistol coming next week and would like to get away from all black.
