The videos don't actually tell you how to fit the accutrigger to the axis.

I think I have seen an axis rifle with an accu-trigger in it once. I may even have a picture of it. My understanding is it is a drop in deal.

[dacaur]

I dont imagine savage would sell us one for less than a rifle basix or timney....

[Gmac5]

Its is a bolt in , the modifications shown somewhere in the videos help to get more adjustment ( pull weight ) .Remove material shown in video from trigger , install and adjust do not cut the spring

DOES ANY BODY KNow where all the accutriggers have gone .
I should have kept my big mouth shut . No just kidding . I hope some axis owners actually install them. They work !
And are SAFE

Just an update, its been a while but a friend wanted me to install his std accutrig into a new axis . There needs to be some grinding done on the axis aluminum trig housing ,when using non precision accutriggers . The ones i call I beam rear ,where the safety adj screw is . Newer precision accutrig. Are basically a drop in.

The Timney is a bolt in.

I installed a standard Accutrigger on my Axis. For me, it was easy. I did not do any grinding to what Savage calls the "Trigger Bracket Assembly" (part 2A in the below diagram), although I did drill a small hole to receive the end of the accu-spring. I did grind off the wide area on the side of the trigger itself to allow it to fit, and I ground down the top area of the trigger where the spring is threaded into the trigger in order to give it a wider adjustment range on the low side. I also used a shim to minimize side to side movement of the trigger.


Interestingly enough, on the Savage website, when I click on 2A in their interactive diagram, it comes up with the following verbage :

TRIGGER BRACKET BLANK (DIE-CAST) - P/N: 107809 $10000.00
It also states that this component is restricted to gunsmiths. Apparently only rich gunsmiths. :cool:

The basic accutrig I was refering to was what i call the I beam section that was apparently an early version as ive only seen 2 . Just thought some one else mite come across one and force it in.
Glad it worked out for you,Gary

[thomae]

Gary, it did work out thanks to you.

To the other forum members, I forgot to mention, that Gary (user name Gmac5) posted enough information in his various threads to inspire me to make the swap.
I wish to give credit where credit is due.

Gary, Thanks for sharing what you figured out with the rest of us. I wish I still lived in FL. I'd love to come and visit your machine shop. I have a mini-lathe, but that's it.

[Gmac5]

You are welcome . I still wished i lived in pa. Its been a long long time, Hawley, Tafton area.
