Thank you for this information, very interesting. Realistically does this modification done by previous owner make the rifle un safe ?

un safe

It would give it possibly a very light trigger.

It would give it possibly a very light trigger.

Although it is a single stage pull, it still takes some pressure to squeeze. Certainly not light triggered. Thank you

Another malady that can possibly affect the trigger pull is if the trigger guard is not perfectly flat that is part 27 where the magazine goes through the whole top line has to be flat.
I had a similar issue with one of my rifles No 1 MkIII and took it to Doug Barnes in Perth he corrected the malady of the single pull by straightening the trigger guard a few of the ppl on this site will remember Doug who was a top class armourer who did up weapons for the SASR & Police TRG units so sorta knew his stuff.

Thank you for this tip, I will check this out. Regards. Rob
