Trigger spur

[zburkett]

I remember a thread about trimming the trigger spur but don't remember either what it is for or if there is a down side to cutting it of.  Anyone know?

[OV-1D]

 Can't remember either , like I would anyways , but trimming the so-called back hook wouldn't be a problem as long as you don't go past the frame of the gun for the trigger to still be guided by the frame when pulled . Slowly remove material of course .

Must make sure the hammer still has enough mass to fire the primer though.

They are talking trigger  not hammer  so the hammer  mass should stay the same

To keep it from mashing into the middle finger when you pull the trigger.

[zburkett]

Thanks Uncle.  I know why I want to grind it off.  Why is it on there in the first place?

[OV-1D]

  Your welcome .   

[OV-1D]

Thanks Uncle.  I know why I want to grind it off.  Why is it on there in the first place?

Unc may I answer this ?  Thanks ..........." I is therefore so I am " . HHummmmmmmmmm . 

[Uncle_Lee]

Thanks Uncle.  I know why I want to grind it off.  Why is it on there in the first place?

I really don't know,   

Just a guess, to keep anything from getting behind the trigger and binding it.??
End of a key, a BB, a mashed M&M, etc.

Maybe to keep it from getting forced sideways and bending the side plate. It is held in place by only screw in the middle of the plate.??

That is the way triggers on cartridge derringers have always been made??

[zburkett]

Thanks all.  Why it is there gets chalked up to the great questions of the universe like how does warm get through a glass window on a winter day without making the glass warm?

[RogueTS1]

Yep, sorry. I totally missed that.

[Uncle_Lee]

Yep, sorry. I totally missed that.

Me too....
I thought I was fluent in jibberish.....

[zburkett]

Cold day.  Sit by a window.  The sun warms you up, can even get hot.  Touch the glass window and the glass is cold.  How does the heat get through the window without making the glass warm?

  The answer lies with Unc's meditation man as with the answer to your question of WHY IS IT THAT WAY on the trigger spur .    Dang . 

[theysayimnotme]

It's there for the same reason the rib is on top of the barrel. The Freedom Arms gun didn't need it. I doubt anyone knows. My question is why is the cylinder & therefore the frame longer than the cartridge? It is slightly tighter in the front & may start forcing the bullet down but I can insert the bullet up to the case on my .22LR & .22 Magnum. On the short the entire case easily goes in. It seems the guns could be made smaller & lighter.
How about titanium?

[shwurr]

Spur reason.

The glass passes the infrared in the spectrum and that is why the glass stays cold..

On the other hand, glass blocks the ultraviolet part of the spectrum and that is why your Transitions lens do not darken in the car on a sunny day.

  If anybodies interested they finally confirmed gravitational waves , good old Einstein was right again . Some time in the future we just might be able to use this info for time travel and then we can go back a change some of those posts or threads that did seem so dang dumb .

Only you need to change any threads then..........

Albert was always one of my favorite pupils.
We discussed light, mass, and speed in great lengths.
The young fellow finally understood just what I was trying to say....  

[OV-1D]

  I just knew there was someone behind the genious .

[zburkett]

It must be nice to a staggering mind.  I often would be happy if I could understand what I am trying to say.

[lefty dude]

Yep, I knew the formula  E=MC2 would come in handy for a Trigger modification some day.

you gotta lotta work to do

OK Uncle, now that we got that cleared up, why does ice float?

[Uncle_Lee]

OK Uncle, now that we got that cleared up, why does ice float?

Ice is does not weight as much as water in the same volume.

Ice is does not weight as much as water in the same volume.

to be precise, the ice does not weigh as much as the weight of the water it displaces. Same principle as a boat.

  Thanks alot HeyJoe .............. Me , me I wasn't quite figuring it was ME but I do believe I can find a few. I'm still mulling over that New York crack .

[zburkett]

Please let me be more precise with my question. Every thing on earth contracts as it gets colder.  Water is the only thing that expands when it freezes.  Why does water expand causing ice to float when everything else goes the other way?

[zburkett]

Shwurr, that I understand.

  AAHHH Grasshopper ..................... it's a secret so if I told you I'd have to shoot you with a NAA mini gun or look it up on the net . Ha , ha . 

[Uncle_Lee]

Once in a while when I really don't know the answer to something I ask my wife.
On this one I asked her.
Why does ice float when dropped into water??

"Cause it don't sink."

There now we know the answer....

[zburkett]

Uncle, your wife seems smarter than all of us.

Ice skating in the bottom of a pond would suck. Probably make you want to go home and look at your mini trigger instead.
