FTF after removing bolt

I didn't quite get what the picture was indicating. Now do. Make sure the first trigger is contact the sear. Will pull apart and check.

I don't think that's what you should take away from the pics. I believe it is showing you what happens if you trip the trigger before the center blade is fully depressed.

Yeah, that's exactly what it's showing. It's a very common thing with Craputriggers, I see it happen at least once every time someone has one at the range. Physically, there's nothing wrong with the trigger, it's just that it was designed to prevent accidental fires. Think about it like this, Savage saw what happened with Remington's X-Mark Pro triggers and wanted to avoid a cluster like that. Not much else to it.
