I bought a Wolff spring kit for my SKS and while I had it apart I thought I would try to do some minor smithing . I used a file to smooth out the sear surfaces and to take some material off the end so as to eliminate some creep . The polished the surfaces with a wet stone . The metal seems pretty soft and was so from the beginning ( not like I filed through a hardened surface )wondering if I should use some Kasinit to harden the matting surfaces . Any thoughts ?
