I too am having Accutrigger problems

**coffeediver** · 07-15-2020, 03:37 PM

I have a 10 FCP-K, bottom bolt release and cocking indicator in .308. Awhile back I had lessened the trigger spring tension and the rifle worked fairly well. I then bought an Oryx chassis and was having extreme difficulties installing the barreled action into it. Oryx/MDT sent me a new chassis and Was having the same issue. I then figured the pin that held the trigger assy to the action was in backward and was binding. I flipped the pin and was able to easily install it. I had never removed that before so no clue as to how it was flipped.

While changing the pin, the trigger assy came apart and it took me awhile to figure out how it went back together. I am not sure I got it completely correct as now I have serious issues with the Accutrigger locking up. I set the spring tension to the max and it still makes no difference. It will lock up just closing the bolt.

Does anyone with this type of configuration have any pictures of trigger assy and especially where all springs go and their orientation. Not sure this is the problem, just making sure. I don't necessarily want to buy a new trigger for this as I am currently playing with my new 110 Precision in 6.5 CR.

Any clues?

Barry,
i am brand new to savage shooters. I noticed your thread. I am a novice with rifles. I have a savage 10T-SR purchased last year. I had the trigger pull weight dropped to ~ 10 ounces from 30 ozs. After putting the trigger assembly back on the action and testing the trigger the sear will not move with or without the sear spring. I have a bottom bolt release. i cannot locate any videos or photos that may help. Likewise i am not sure of the orientation of the sear spring.
Thanks!

Here ya go. Not disassembly, but you can see the how the spring is oriented.

So according to that video I have the accutrigger installed correctly. The pin that holds it to the action on the video is how mine was set up but would not fit into the Oryx chassis and I had to reverse it.

This still makes no sense on why I cannot make the accutrigger work better even when tension is added to make trigger pull stiffer. Only thing I can think of is the sear is worn and just will not hold. I have 1235 +/- through this rifle, did not keep good records for the first 100/300 but am close.
