I was function testing the safety on my Savage 10 FLCP-K after removing and replacing the stock. I was a little surprised at what I found.

The rifle has an Accutrigger with the 3-position safety. I tested the second (safe, bolt unlocked) and third (safe, bolt locked) positions by cocking the rifle, placing it in safe, and squeezing the trigger hard. In both cases the sear would drop when I moved the safety to the first position (fire).

When I did this test with the factory setting on the trigger the Accurelease did NOT engage.

When I repeated this test with higher settings on the trigger pull the results were the same, except that the Accurelease DID engage.

Are these results typical? ???

I want to make sure the safety on my rifle is not defective.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
