As I understand it, if I cut coils off the accutrigger spring I will reduce the trigger pull weight.
If I cut coils off the spring to get the trigger pull weight down to 1.5lbs , do I lose the ability to increase the trigger pull weight back to 2.5lbs?
I've also heard that I can heat the spring to remove some of the tension.
Question is the same, if I heat the spring to reduce the trigger pull weight down to 1.5lbs do I lose the ability to increase trigger pull weight back to 2.5lbs?
I'm not asking if this is safe or not. I realize that if I remove too many coils the firearm may fire upon closing the bolt or the trigger might lock up and need to be manually reset.
I'm aware that I can purchase a new lighter OEM Savage spring from gunshack.com, or add a 10-24 x 3/4" screw and a lighter spring and lose the ability to have an adjustable trigger, but have a safe lighter trigger.
I also understand that heating the spring has its owns risks. I could overheat it and reduce tension to an unsafe level, or overheat it and cause the spring to break.
Here is a pic of the spring in question:
The rifle is a B22 FV SR.
Thanks for you input ahead of time
