DP>The Volquartsen hammer gets mixed reviews.  Trigger pull is noticeably

I had the factory trigger worked on by a good gunsmith.  The pull was 
much smoother, broke at 2 pounds, but the trigger still traveled way too 
much.  Several set screws in the trigger guard serve as trigger stops 
now, and the difference is truly amazing.  With the heavy barrel and 
excellent trigger, continuous semi-rapid firing with 30 round magazines 
results in consistant sub one inch groups at 25 yards.
Much of the benefit of the heavy replacement barrels is their ability to 
absorb and dissipate heat, and that they do not open up the groups as 
they get warm.  I'm extremely pleased with the stainless barrel I got
from Midway, and with an un-colored birch stock, the gun looks mighty,
mighty fine.
