BTW. What were the mods?
I can see that you stabilised the foreend but what did you do to the trigger? Can't tell from the vid.

Replaced the main trigger spring with a click pen spring :lol: :thumbsup: , also the sear spring with a smaller lighter spring.Filed and smoothed trigger and sear engaging surfaces (with emery paper), the trigger breaks with no creep and is about 1.2kgs lighter.
