Another mod I recommend doing is a trigger spring and washer mod. Notice the small washer under the main trigger spring. That basically reduces the trigger tension, and moves where the trigger will break in the pull of the trigger. The thickness of that washer is extremely important as too fat and you can cause the gun to fire without touching the trigger. I test fit it a number of times and had to hammer down the washer on an anvil to take a couple thousands off the thickness. A lot of trial and error... and be sure to bang the gun around a little bit to simulate you dropping it, etc. If it fires, its NO GOOD, and the washer must be thinned. Obviously I'm not doing that loaded... I just clear the barrel, put the bolt in, put it in battery, and bang the gun around in my hand a little to try to get the thing to break.
So that mod creates another problem where the trigger will flap around all loosey goosey. To fix that, there are return spring kits sold on the net that put a small amount of forward tension on the trigger. You can see that spring coiled around the shaft that holds the trigger on. Its kinda like a mouse trap spring and gives the trigger a REALLY nice feel to it. You get a little tension from that spring as you squeeze, then when you hit the main spring the tension increases and the gun breaks with minimal creep. Its basically a 2 stage trigger and is a vast improvement over the stock creepy high tension trigger.
