I have a newly purchased Axis XP with the standard trigger (not accutrigger). Trigger pull is 4.5# and I am attempting to lighten it. I watched several U-tube videos and I am comfortable with cutting a coil off the spring.
HERE IS THE ISSUE:
The spring is configured to have a center projection that fits into a hole in the milled spring recess in the rifles action. If I remove a coil, I will lose that projection since it is the last section of the spring.
Savage has epoxied the bottom of the spring in place so cutting a coil from the other end of the spring is not possible.
Is there any chance that the spring can become disengaged from it's recess if the projection does not exist?? Trigger guru's help me out!

Thanks,
Bob
