How does the trigger feel after all the work has been done? It looked like your hammer and strut were sand blasted but the sear and disconnector were not. The engagement surfaces of the hammer hooks and sear need to be pretty precise. I am wondering if the sand blasting might have changed the surface of the hammer hooks where they are engaged by the sear. I know that this is a GI grade pistol so your probably not looking for a super crisp trigger but there is a safety factor to think about as well. A trigger job may be in order to ensure that your fire control group is working correctly.
