After reading the threads on the LEM conversions posted by Big Bore, I decided to convert my .45 Compact V1 (date code AB) to LEM.
If I understood the threads correctly, by keeping the V1 hammer spring and TRS I should have a trigger pull of around 5 pounds. I don't have a pull gauge, but the pull "feels" more than 5 pounds. I tried hanging a gallon of water from the trigger and this failed to "fire" the gun.
Do I need to change the Firing Pin Block spring? I remember seeing something in the trigger job thread about date codes later than AB. Could HK have changed FPB springs after 2001?
Also, there seems to be a fair amount of creep with the LEM trigger. Is this normal, due to the pre-loading of the hammer?
Thanks,
Kent
