110 trigger

[10bruce]

Have a 110 rifle that someone has messed up the trigger on....... Thoughtb the trigger felt to good....Other day while chambering a round it went off, luckly in the right direction........after that i would recycle the bolt and it will fire half the time........I ordered a rifle basix 1 trigger it came today....I got to thinking though someone may have filed on the sear. Just by looking in the packet a sear did not come with it.Do I need to send it back and get the higher priced trigger.rifle sasix 2........And does the 2 come with a sear???Thanks

I reworked the trigger on my model 112. It took some doing but I've got it shooting very well now. During that process though at one point it was not cocking as I closed the bolt. I never had a round in the chamber when doing that though. I was thinking it would not have fired and just not cock. May-be it would have fired though. For mine though at that point it was an easy fix because I had already worked on the spring. Try going to the screw under the spring and turning it just a little. They are real sensitive. Well I guess this is all a mute point! I just remembered you said you had a rifle basix... I guess all I can say is when I did mine and it was not cocking the sear was not modified at all...tootalloutdoors

Assuming you have a post '66 rifle, the rear most screw in the trigger piece controls the safety. It should be screwed in until it just touches the safety, when the safety is engaged, either fully (locks the bolt) or in the unlocked position. If this screw does not touch the safety, the trigger piece can release the sear regardless of the safety position. The sear engagement is only about 0.015", so it don't take much movement of the trigger to release the sear.
Pre '66s had the screws in the safety and they adjusted to the trigger piece instead of as above. The action, although opposite, was much the same though a tiny amount of slack in the safety screw allows the sear to be released.
