I have read that the TRW semi's have terrible trigger pull. I have had folks tell me that they cannot fire the weapon using a single finger and have to ues 2. Is there anything that can be done to aliviate this without running into issure with the ATF?

I use the original German f/p spring in mine, as do others here. The trigger pull is still more comfortable with two fingers, but much less stiff. I feel that the fire control parts will last longer too. If you set up like this, skip spaces in the belt until you're sure it fires only one at atime. I haven't had a problem. Good luck...Phil

I will try that. Thanks Phil

The orig firing pin trick works...but not with most surplus ammo. The surp ammo had the typical hard primers and i found that using orig springs does not have the strength to set them off. Firing blanks is a whole diff story as blanks use a soft primer and the orig spring works well with those.
