Axis trigger

[daddyusmaximus]

When I was researching trigger mods it was suggested to "drop test" the rifle. After cutting 1.5 coils and getting the feel I was after, I dropped the unloaded rifle several times on the floor to see if it "went off". It never did, so I feel confident it is safe. Just to be sure I never walk around when holding a loaded weapon unless it is on "safe". Most designs are made so it is easy and quick to disengage the safety.

I did the same, couldnt get it to go off.

A couple of other worthwhile tests:

Rifle empty, open and close the bolt violently several times. Be sure that slamming it closed doesn't trip the sear.

Rifle empty, work the bolt hard, then put the rifle on safe. Pull the trigger as hard as you can, let it go, then push off the safety. Do this several times, make sure the sear isn't tripped by going off-safe. Do this one more time, but after taking it off safe dryfire the rifle and note if there is any lightening of the trigger pull versus just a normal cock-on-safe, off-safe-fire cycle. If it passes all tests you should be good to go.
