I bought a used Model 10 in .223, just like a used car, if you buy a used gun you never know what has or hasn't happened to it in the past.

After shooting it a little, it shoots well, I got a little irritated at the safety, it is very tempremental, especially getting it back on safety after shooting. In fact, the only easy way to get it back on safety is to cycle the bolt. Also, I have another Savage and it has what I think of as a 3 phase safety, which I like, but not this one....

So I take the stock off to investigate the trigger. Looking at the 3 screw trigger adjustment thread as a guide just for what should be there there are some screws missing. So has this trigger already been replaced? If so, what type of trigger is this?

I really want the safety to work better and I would guess that would require changing the trigger, as it seems just by looking at the safety adjustment screw and the overtravel screw both seem to be rounded out. (nice)

Am I right about what I am seeing? What trigger should I look at to replace this? Is this a DIY job? TIA..
