Below is an explanation of what would be done. But this is something you would only want a gunsmith to do. I would recommend you Google for a gunsmith in your zip code, and then contact them for pricing. Don't go overboard, and let them talk you into a bunch of work you don't need. You could easily spend as much on gunsmithing as the gun is worth.

EDIT: I wanted to strongly emphasize that you should let a professional do this. Not that an amateur can't do it, but rather for safety and liability concerns. You want the gun to operate safely and smoothly. And, if you ever have to use the gun as a defensive weapon, you don't want some lawyer trying to prosecute or sue you because you turned the gun into a "hair-trigger weapon".

Reasonable discussion is always welcome. rrneck Jul 2012 #1
