A question for Motorhead (and other experts)

Since you have a lathe, why not bore out a piece of MDS nylon or PEEK and make a metal insert?  The lubricity of plastic and most of the mass...the best of both.

This is an option,but i can't find MDS or PEEK rods in small pieces here,i can source Turcite X rods,similar to Delrin but self-lubing.

I have used the PRod trigger assembly frequently on my builds, and it has a drop sear, not a "snag" sear.... While it is true that there is a light spring that holds the sear up against the hammer, I have never had any problems using an MDS hammer with the PRod trigger.... However, do NOT use a plastic hammer with a 22XX, 13XX, or Disco style trigger.... they will quickly destroy the catch point on the bottom front of the hammer....

The PRod, Disco, 22XX and Maximus, and the QBs, all use tubes with a 3/4" ID (actually 0.745")…. The 5/8" ID tubes are on the 13XX and 2200 series pumpers....

 Here you go be sure and use a sharp bit and use the right speed. if you use brass in it knurl the brass and drill it put it in the mds and then turn it to size.  David
