Pot Metal

When I got my AccuTrigger replacement trigger group I noticed that the trigger frame that came with the gun was slightly bowed.


So I tried to straighten it.


As you can see, the metal that it's made from isn't very malleable.  At least I didn't break my ONLY trigger frame or break any of the internal trigger parts.

  1. "Pot metal". Cheap cast metal (often zinc, I think) that snaps under a lot less pressure/deflection than you'd expect from something that is metallic. But you already knew that, I'm sure :-) Quite a bit different from the investment cast process Ruger uses for some of its parts.
