Im looking for good resources of info to aid me in a trigger job on a tracker in 41 mag. Typical taurus it is long, very heavy and a bit gritty, hoping lots of action polishing wil smooth it up and make it feel lighter.
 
Internals are similar (if not identical) to Smith and Wesson. Wolff makes spring kits for them. Some polishing and a reduced power trigger return spring will probably fix it.
 
Oh no kidding? Cool. And thanks. Im gonna try just polishing first, ran into to many ignotion issues when tinkering with springs in the past.
 
You can just change the springs for a poor man's trigger job. You don't tinker with springs, you put a light one in.
However, the operative word for "action polishing" is 'polishing'. As in no metal removal. No use of files or rotary tools. It's done with a cloth wheel and jeweller's rouge(eye protection is essential) plus a whole bunch of patience.
"...(if not identical)..." No rebound slide.
 
If you want to smooth the internals on S&W or similar revolvers, I highly recommend Jerry Michulek's "Trigger Job" video. It gives a good overview on what surfaces to polish and how to do it. It also covers which areas not to touch, which is extremely important.

Periodically, I look at the revolver gunsmithing videos on youtube, and none of them come close to Jerry's video. His video costs about $20, and I think it is worth it.

If you want lots more info about S&W trigger jobs, I wrote a long article on this subject which is available on my blog at the link below.

Although they look a lot like S&Ws, and were originally produced under S&W license, Taurus revolvers bear very little resemblance to a S&W anymore. They are basically a spring-works gun any more. Doing a trigger job is relatively simple unless you don't understand how things work.
