Pedersoli hawkin double trigger issue.

[LAGS]

The triggers are a carbon steel . But not super tempered.
But when I bend them , I do heat them up and bend them slowly.
But to do the bending, you have to have the trigger completely out of the trigger assembly or the heat will effect or soften other parts or springs of the trigger.
After I heat an anneal the trigger , I try to bend it when it is almost Red hot not Glowing Red.
After I reshape the trigger I reheat it to light Red and dip it in motor oil to reset the temper .
Don’t cool it in water or it will make it fragile.
Dip it in oil when hot will also reblue the shiney areas you ground or scratched.
I have had to straightened or reshaped triggers so they fit better to the shape of the trigger guard when I build a custom rifle .
But some factory shapes of the triggers were not what I liked in the first place either.
So I tuned them also so they fit the shape and clearance to the trigger guard that I wanted.
You can Cut or File the trigger to the shape you want without heating it up.
And then just cold blue the shinny metal that you see afterwards.

Again, I thank you sir.

The biggest problem I have found with Some Triggers is,
They are made out of Stamp Cast Low carbon steel.
So they are a little harder to heat and bend then if they were made out of Machined low carbon steel.
But the stamp cast steel is workable.

Just for the Halibut, I sent an email off to Pedersoli just to see what they say it's made out of.

I just look at them and you can see by markings if they were cast and stamped .
But this is your gun.
Calling them is good to confirm the type of metal for sure.

I just spoke with an older guy (gunsmith) who said he's seen some made of (EDM?) or something similar sounding, he said when heated it will just disappear before your eyes.
I have no idea what that even is, but one thing I did determine is that a magnet has no second thoughts about adhering to the trigger.

I get what you are talking about with angles
---- does your trigger assembly have the screw behind the rear trigger ? moving that should change the angle of that rear trigger - maybe not enough - I have a couple guns that had the tip of the trigger removed to fit the trigger guard

also backing off the internal screw holding the spring down will lighten the cocking effort

We've been through all that already. Thanks

Here's what I just got back from Pedersoli:

It's steel, I do not have the characteristics in my files, I think I can define it tool metal.
