G'day there, just wondering if anyone out there has tried annealing their sear springs ever so slightly to make them a little more ductile and soft. I've tried filing down a spring to make the pull a little lighter but it was too brittle to cope. Just reckon if I took the finish off, annealed it, and re-finished it (Not the polished surfaces) I could have lighter pull and less prone to breaking so long as it retained enough spring.

Any advice is appreciated.
