I have this for several years from new and have only used it a little. Partly due to time constraints and partly due to it needing a trigger tune.
I also want to stop the folding stock wobbling where it attaches.
Nothing ground breaking I know. If it works out ok the next step is to tune the action after checking for reg creep etc.
I might then treat it to a silencer adapter and may even try making wooden grips and/or a stock for it??
Anyway, lunch break equals stripped down to access the trigger........wish me luck for later 😄

So far all significant wobble (apart from where it attaches to the grip? has been eliminated by judicious application of padding materials but I like the thumb screw you @Bren have added to the hinge. Did you drill and tap the casting nervously?
 
Ok, just finished work and thought I would have a look at the trigger parts under a magnifying lamp.
I was surprised at how smooth all parts looked and was thinking I would get away with a peek/autosol polish and lube job. Then I got to the hammer/cocking thingy. I found that a sliver of the plating on one face of the groove was loose and 8s now off so that bit may benefit from a very fine "emery papering" before a polish!
I am tempted to try a biro spring replacement of the existing springs but will probably see how a polish and lube works first.

Polished and lubed and back together. The trigger is much smother now but still needs a bit of work. I will back out the second stage adjuster a little, then I will try to find my box of springs to try and lighten the pull weight a little.
