Crap Trigger

I'll throw my 2 cents in and relate a problem and solution that somewhat mirrors yours.
I bought a M9A1. When I got it the trigger was "pretty Good". I followed the tutorial on this forum that deals with the trigger spring and part #45 the weight or as you refer to it as the washer on the spring shaft that rides with the firing pin. I wanted to get the trigger to release the same every time I pulled it. The trigger would most of the time be nice, light, and break clean, other times it would be heavy and gritty. I polished the parts in the tuitorial. The spring(inside) and the inside of part #45, I polished by wraping a piece of 1500 grit sandpaper around a small finish nail. I then put the nail and an edge of the sandpaper in a electric drill, then ran the sandpaper inside the parts to polish. I inserted the guide rod into the drill chuck and polished with 600 then 1500 grit sandpaper.
I LIGHTLY lubed the assembly and re-assembled. The trigger was GREAT,except that after awhile it got REAL gritty and stiff, then would go back to being GREAT for awhile.
I thought about what might be happening and decided that the part # 45 was too big after the polish and was not riding the bar straight, but occasionaly twisting. I also called Steyr to find out what direction the bevel on part #45 faced. They told me the bevel faced TOWARD the spring. They also offered to replace the entire sub frame with trigger assembly on an exchange, VERY GENERIOUS of them. Instead I asked if they would send me a new part #45, they did, I got it in 3 days.
In the meantime I took a large pair of channel lock pliers and squezzed the part #45 as tight to the bar as I could. THAT DID IT! the part #45glides along the bar tight with no slop, but still runs smooth.
GREAT TRIGGER every pull!

i'm not sure what is up with making the trigger tutorials available.

steyrclub has a very good working relationship with both steyr-mannlicher and SAI and it is quite possible that one or the other of these entities asked that these be removed from the site for the simple fact that it puts steyr-mannlicher in the position of paying SAI for warranty work on parts that were user modified. i am not privy to any such conversation, but that could certainly explain the tutorials absence.

it could also be that either steyr-mannlicher or the armorer (s) at SAI read the tutorials and think there is nothing to be gained by performing any of the actions i described in the tutorials, therefore making them detrimental to the ownership experience.

these tutorials were done before SAI was kickin' A and takin' names, mostly as a way of helping users diagnose and fix trigger reset issues. i'm not sure how effective these were at that intended purpose because on one hand, once these tutorials were made available NOBODY posted about a trigger reset issue. on the other hand, no one said they had fixed their pistol using these tutorials.

let me try to find out exactly what is going on and try to get answers from the horses' mouth.

Either I'm Totally Blind or Just Really Stupid (latter)

Did anyone find a trigger tutorial. I have searched and searched and searched. One post replied to look under the post "Crap Trigger". Still didn't see anything formal. When it comes to trigger work, I need something formal.

Just like the previous post, I'm pulling all of the 7lbs. OUCH !

1) Take pistol apart
2) Fix problem or create one
3) Put pistol back together
4) Test pistol
5) Cuss, cause you didn't fix it
6) Repeat step one

That kinda formal.

Any help?

Thanks,
