IMPORTANT: The leaf type tension spring needs a slight arch on it to function properly and can be very dangerous without tension. I had one improperly adjusted that would fire when the safety was pushed off when I first started tinkering. A lighter spring can be made from .043 piano wire from a hardware store.. I've even heard of guys cutting the arm off a spinner bait to make a lighter spring. Either way make sure you have tension.
Sounds like the safety screw just needs adjustment. Hopefully you got that issue resolved with the new trigger install and adjustment.
Good luck and save the old factory parts (even if they need repair) they are getting harder and harder to find
Agree that the high shock loads on the two piece sear are why they went to "pot" in the first place. Welding would be the best repair in my opinion. But the one piece sear is by far the best fix.
Also the OP has installed a Rifle Basic so the "spring wire" spring will not come into play with this one.
But this is useful information with those still using non-accutrigger factory triggers.
