I have an original 1842 that I've started shooting this year, after our team gunsmith gave it the once over, and did some light filing to some of the lock work. But it still has about a 30 lb trigger pull. The gunsmith pointed out just where to apply a thin shim with some solder to further lighten it. I'm pretty good with solder, but while I've done a good bit of basement gunsmithing, never anything like this.
Can anyone confirm where to solder (pics would be great but a description would do) as he showed me some months ago, and any tips before I try this?
