Magnum Airpower Trigger Group for the 362

I was able to shave off metal with a knife.. I bought a replacement and he is sending it and an extra, I'll see if they are harder, I'm also going to play around with an old file and some 1095 carbon steel to see how hard they are and if either would be good to make one from. Got a polished factory one in it now and after 20 shots it's just polished even better..

Looking at the pictures, that is too obvious for Bill to have not seen that when he installed it in the TG. He is too particular with his work with what he charges for it to send it to a customer like that.

It could be any of the reasons Rick mentioned. To me, with the direction the deformation was occurring in, it looks like the hammer was releasing faster than the sear was disengaging it.

Mine was hanging up a little but it didn't do what yours did. I didn't leave it in beyond initial testing though, and it may have looked like yours if I had left it in. I personally didn't like the wider sear in his trigger group. I had a nice polished one which I ramped down from a 13xx and added a couple thin shim washers from McMaster-Carr to each side. Smooth as silk with a nice clean release.

He didn't send it damaged, if that's what you mean, but at least this one is really soft, he doesn't heat treat them but claims they are hard..
If the replacements are as soft as this one I will see if I can find someone who have harden them if it's worth it $$$.

Maybe I can get the 1095 to harden up, that and I'll try an old small file and make one..

All in all this trigger group is very nice, going to take it back out and scotch brite it..

I thought mine was on the soft side as well.

Was able to change some contact points to have better adjustments " left the contact point for the transfer bar heavy" so no set screw in front of the trigger guard needed.
It hardened up real nice also.

That DIY heat treat job looks really good Mike!

Thank you sir.
