Over travel stops?  Sure, I've made or installed a bunch of them.  You're 
right in that they make a BIG difference.  In fact, an over travel stop makes 
a bigger difference in accuracy than trigger pull weight does.  I usually 
used #6 or #8 allen head screws, though.  Size isn't critical but adjustment 
is (to get best performance).  After you get the proper adjustment, grind or 
file off any of the screw that's projecting forward of the trigger and let 
the LockTite set up.  I've got a couple of old Mausers with triggers that 
will bring tears of joy to your eyes even though their trigger pull measures 
5-7 pounds.
Trigger "feel" right at the instant of break is everything.  It doesn't 
matter how light the trigger is, if it feels long and mushy, the gun is going 
to be hard to shoot well.
Regards.  Cloyce.
