Has anyone ever put an accu-trigger into a Stevens Model 200 in .223 before? I have a model 200 and just shot my new .17hmr that is accu-trigger and I love the damn thing. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
Design is different and the accutrigger does not fit. It's much cheaper and easier to buy an aftermarket trigger such as SSS. Accutrigger isn't all that to begin with.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
I have used the Riflebasix trigger and the Timney. I like both of them. I also have a couple of rifles with the accu-trigger. A properly adjusted aftermarket can be as good or better than the accu-trigger.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
Yes the Accu trigger can be installed on a Stevens 200. I have 2 Stevens that i have put accu-triggers on. They came off of 2 Savages that I put SS triggers on. The only thing you have to remember is you will need to adjust the safety set screws and test the safety. They can also be installed on older Savages. Savage will not sell (last time I checked) the triggers because you would have adjust the safeties and that is a liability issue.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
No Racialist that would be you. By jumping in and calling someone an idiot you just show your own ignorance. Like I said in my post i have 2 Stevens 200's with Accu-triggers. Try taking a look at the 2 side by side. I also stated that you will have to adjust the set screws for the safety and test it. It only takes about 5 minutes and the only tool needed is an allen wrench. Oh and by the way, you use the same procedures when adjusting the set screws for the safety that you use for the rifle Basix trigger.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
Dif setup.... Will Not fit without Much Modification, not worth the hassle, get a SSS and never look back.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
Takes about 5 minutes and no modification at all. Follow the steps that come with the rifle basixs trigger to adjust the safety set screw. Try it sometime. The only reason I know it works is I have done it twice three time if you count the one i switched out te sell the rifle. There is no difference in the housing except stevens has the wing for original spring adjustment. Oh I did forget there in one small difference and that is the Savage will have a 1/32 inch whole right behind the trigger housing it hold the spring in place so you will either have to drill the whole or snip off the leg on the spring (which is what i did). It will function just the same.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question

You can retrofit a accutrigger onto a stevens or any other savage you just can't use the accutrigger safety. I have 2 Steven's in my gun safe now that i have put accutrigger on. I bought both triggers off ebay. You will have to adjust the triggers safety set screw.</div></div>
Yes it is possible to mount an accu-trigger to a Stevens 200 action, You would have to cut the spring and turn the screws out a bit, the spring will sit cocked, Is it safe I say NO.
The Savage action gets extra machining steps for the accu-trigger, that the Stevens does not, To do it right the Stevens action would need this extra machining. Also the Safety and trigger mounting bracket are different between the two rifles.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
I did not say I didn't use the original safety. You have to adjust the set screw just like you have to on the rifle basix. He asked if it will work and it will just fine. The safety works just fine i tested all mine more than a dozen times. I am anal about safety and if it would work safely i would not be doing and i dawg sure wouldn't tell someone else how to do it. The spring rides fine with no binding.

</div></div>Funny I have never posted this on another forum. I never mentioned anything about changing the safety. Try it with the original safety you might learn something. Read your own words it does not say anything about changing the safety. My mistake I guess i did. But read the quote again. I looked up the quote it came from gun broker and that ones not me I'm not a member.

Re: Stevens/Savage Question
AKace i think you may be mis-understanding what safety I'm talking about. I am refering to the safety original to the rifle you are putting the trigger onto. You are refering to using the safety off of the accu-trigger rifle. You are right about the machining if you were trying to use that one. But if yoou use the safety that comes on the Stevens there is no machining and all you have to do is adjust the safety set screws. I never said to use the Accu-trigger safety I was refering to the safety original the the rifle you are putting the trigger onto.
