Vast improvement but not a superb trigger as hoped for.

You won't need a jig but you may have to make some slave pins to hold things together while you position them in the housing. 800 wet & dry is still quite coarse for a nice trigger pull. Try some 2000 grit and then a little bit of fine metal polish with a file-backed cloth (fine arkansas stones are best and will leave a mirror finish).
