I dont think he read your question properly. The answer to your first question is:
No. Your trigger is malfunctioning. Maybe.
It should never fire with out depressing the safety tang. But first, what is your definition of 'firing"? Did the trigger trip the actual firing pin? Realize the Accutrigger SEAR can trip and make a click. That is not "firing" in the strictest sense. The sear is still blocked and merely snaps against the safety tang which I believe is your case.
You need to take your action apart and see for sure if your safety tang is failing completely or the trigger is acting as designed..ie, just snapping but not actually tripping the firing pin. That can happen under some circumstances. That is not a mafuntion uless it happens all the time.
If your sear is moving but not setting off the firing pin then put the safety in the middle position and lift your bolt handle and close it. This will reset your sear. No need to cycle the bolt. Just lift it and lower the handle.
Hope this helps.
If you modify or disable the Accutrigger safety tang and have any kind of accidental discharge or even an intentional discharge where you damage property of a person....you may be in deep ca ca.
Anyone who does not like the Accutrigger is urged to either live with it or buy an aftermarket rigger that has NO safety tang involved with its function and over all design.
