Pretty simple mechanism.

Not too hard to see just why the trigger felt like 30 miles of bad road.

Now, if you aren't capable of doing the stoning without changing the angle of the engagement then put it all back together as things can get exciting and ILLEGAL if done wrong.

That aint quite perfect but I stopped removing metal as I didn't want to change the geometry any more. Unfortunately I got ahead of myself and reassembled the gun before taking a pic of the hammer. Finished up with a coat of moly.

The trigger pull is glass smooth now. The pull weight was reduced from 6lbs to just over 4. A worthwhile 20 minutes of work.
