Savage model 10 accutrigger/safety issues

[jlefud71]

Hello all. I have a model 10 predator i bought second hand a year or so ago and have been shooting it more lately. I have noticed if it is on 1/2 Saftey and you pull the trigger it binds up the safety and when you push it forward to turn safety off the firing pin falls. On full safety this does not happen. At the half safety mark it happens every time. I am wondering if someone polished the trigger and sear causing this issue. Any advice?

Try adjusting the trigger pull weight a little.
It might be set a little low on the trigger pull

What does the screw behind the Accu-release blade spring do?

You mean the sear is dropping right? But it should be resting on the safety blade? Is it? If so, the firing pin is NOT protruding.

What it sounds like is the by pulling the trigger on “half” safe the sear is able to start moving off the trigger shelf(creep), just to the point of tripping. And then by moving the safety to off, it’s tripping the sear the last bit.

correct, so after a trigger pull on half safety when you go to turn safety off it let’s sear finish tripping

I’ve seen this on other firearms....1911s off hand. If the safety isn’t fully “On”, and you pull the trigger, the sear, trigger & safety all kinda jam each other. It’s more pronounced with factory triggers having unacceptable Creep. Luckily, as I said..the sear is being caught by the safety blade of the Accutrigger.

Let me ask this..you said you received it used. When looking at the trigger, is only ONE adjustment shown? The Accutriggers have the safety stop screw FILLED with plastic. Is that hole still filled?

I have tried it from 3lbs up to almost 4 lbs inside the stock and out.
