• HOW TO: Install an Accutrigger in a Savage Axis rifle.

    5. The red circle in the below photo shows what needs to be ground down on the right side of the Accutrigger.



    6. If you wish, you can stop there and install the Accutrigger into your Axis by replacing the trigger pivot pin and the "E" clip (shown in the red circle).



    7. HOWEVER....if you would like to further reduce the trigger weight, here is one way to do it without cutting any springs. First, remove the Accutrigger from the Axis rifle.

    8. Now grind down the rear of the Accutrigger as shown in the photo below. Make sure you grind the side of the trigger closest to the rifle (the top as it would look if you were holding the rifle in firing position). I ground it down about 1/2 way.



    9. That's it. Now, to make it look a little prettier, I used a bunch of cold blue on the modified Accutrigger. Now it looks like the photo below.

      Something odd is going on. I was able to view this about a week ago, but now I can't.
