Swapping Non Accutrigger with Standard trigger assembly or vise a versa....

Well sitting around bored can get you into trouble at times and this is one of them for me! I decided to find out for myself what's involved to make it happen?

Here's a picture of an Accutrigger with a standard 110 trigger assembly. Here's what I discovered and hopefully this will answer any questions others might have down the road about this subject.

First off will they swap, YES. Is there work involved, YES.

The safeties are different between the two and therein lies the issue, (aside from the hole for the Accutrigger spring of course). As you can see in the picture, the safeties use different detent systems and the safeties themselves are different. The Accutrigger safety uses a coil spring that sits further to the rear and slightly higher up. the standard trigger uses a cross pin (the little silver pin you see laying between the trigger housing and safety selector on the right).

Here's the Accutrigger safety spring part number, it's one of those parts only available to a gunsmith: SAFETY SPRING - P/N: 105265 $2.00

The spring is item 2D in this picture.

Next: Neither safety will swap over without some work involved. The Accutrigger safety is a two piece unit whereas the button is milled to slide in a dovetail on the rear tang and has a slot for the safety to nestle into when installed. The standard trigger safety is a one piece unit and is too wide to fit in the slot of the Accutrigger receiver so you would have to do some milling/filing to get it to fit. See 2nd picture.

You could drill out the holes for the Accutrigger safety spring to fit and use the Accutrigger safety to install the standard trigger on the Accutrigger receiver as well as drill out the holes for the standard safety detent pin on the Accutrigger housing for the standard safety to install on a non Accutrigger receiver. Viola you should be rocking! Of course this is in theory as I haven't attempted it yet.

So there you have it... if you attempt it good luck!
