From what I can tell from the photos it looks like there are sharp edges at the top on each side of the notches. Or maybe a better way to say it is at the front and rear of each notch. Can those be rounded or smoothed with a dremmel or small file? I think you could get good access for doing this with the trigger box removed.
Well that didn’t work very well
The Mitchel abrasive tape came yesterday so I knocked the squared edge off the string slots and mounted the TT trigger back into the Dagger’s rail.
I had some adhesive backed foil so I laid a strip over the trigger bosses and rail in hopes it might keep the string from digging into the “notches” in front and back of the bosses - wrong!
The foil was too thin and the string’s down pressure on the rail from just cocking it ripped the foil off like a 3 day scab. I had thought about bending some thin brass stock over that area but I’m not sure how to keep it in place.
I don’t think filling those cavities with some fly tying head epoxy would stay in place either. Unless I think of something else, that string serving is going to continue diving into those notches and fray my serving.
(No, I’m not shimming the riser).
