This quick tip from Brownells demonstrates an effective technique for stoning small firearm parts, such as sights or sears, to ensure even material removal. The instructor, Caleb, advises holding the stone in hand rather than on a flat surface to achieve more consistent pressure and prevent favoring one side of the part. This method is particularly useful for trigger jobs and fitting parts.

This guide details a professional trigger job on a Ruger GP100, performed by master gunsmith Terry G. It covers the disassembly of the trigger group, the precise stoning (polishing) of internal contact surfaces to reduce friction and improve trigger pull, and reassembly. The process emphasizes maintaining safety by not altering critical sear angles. The video concludes with range testing, confirming a significantly smoother and lighter double-action pull, enhancing the firearm's performance.

This guide details how to smooth the single-action trigger pull on a Smith & Wesson revolver. Expert instructor Larry Potterfield from MidwayUSA demonstrates the process, emphasizing the use of specialized tools like a stoning fixture and India stone. Proper technique involves careful stoning of the sear to reduce friction and improve trigger feel, with Dykem used to monitor progress. The guide concludes with reassembly and testing using snap caps.
