Gunsmithing Remington 700 - Sear Engadgment

[vvillium3]

Hello All,

I have always wondered what the purpose of the second lug of the sear engadgment is for? In the image below I am referring to the lug with the red arrow pointing at it. I assume the lug with the blue arrow is what actually interacts with the trigger.

By looking at the top of the trigger, it appears that there isn't enough room for the second lug to interact with the trigger.

Thanks a bunch,
Jason

It's to aid firing pin removal.

Wow I'm retarded, thank you. Never crossed my mind.

Thanks,
