AS previously reported I have had some issues with the trigger group on my pre 66 mdl 110. The so called J action. In the search for a better trigger group I have heard that it cannot be done to yes you can but, blah blah blah.
As I could not seem to come up with a new model trigger group, or a safety bar or sear-bolt stop My only option was to invest in a Jard trigger and safety bar.
I borrowed a new model trigger group and assembled it on the action. The only problem found was the clearance flat on the action for the bolt stop was too short.
Easily over come. So Ordered the trigger, waited two weeks, got the trigger. Thank you Jard.
Using my small die grinder and carbide bur I slowly removed enough metal on the side of the action for the bolt release to come forward enough to remove the bolt. 5 minutes later, assembled the action in the stock, relieved some metal from the trigger guard for side clearance and I now have a light trigger in my old Savage. All the worry, fretting, poor advise, bad information over with. I did get some encouragement from forum members. Thank you for that.
The answer to this problem is, Yes the Jard trigger group will work in the pre 66 J actions with very little work.Period.
