I know this sounds half-baked, but one of my Colt Flattops had a certain amount of creep, which stopped just before the trigger broke. I could begin to take up the slack, carefully trying to feel the creep, and as soon as the creep reached a certain point, I would hold that pressure, then recheck sight alignment, and could then break the shot. It worked like a poor-man's 2-stage trigger. If your trigger is bad enough, rather than get it worked on and risk malfunction afterwards, I'd send it to Frank White at Compass Lake Engineering, and have him install his 2-stage trigger. You'll like it, and the price is $125, which is really quite reasonable.
