Power Custom hammer & trigger in Ruger NM Super BlackHawk?

I bought my Dad a Ruger NM Super BlackHawk for Christmas. But, as a long time Colt SAA shooter, he is frustrated because the Ruger's NM cylinders don't index with the ejector-rod during loading/unloading. I'm thinking of trying to install the Power Custom hammer & trigger set in order to get Colt-like half-cock and indexing.

Are these parts easy to install, they're advertised as "drop-in"? Will a gunsmith be required?

Thanx for your answers in advance.

BluRidgDav, they may very well just drop right in and work perfectly but it's been my experience that drop-in parts are rarely that and normally require some fitting. George

Thanx George.
Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith out around the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, in case we have trouble with the installation?
