Gunsmithing Trigger installation

[Spatcher]

I have a quick installation question. I bought a Triggertech Special for my Bergara HMR and it has a 7 or 8 step process once installed to verify it won’t fire upon bolt closure, safety movement, or an impact to the butt. My question then; is this a common occurrence the rifle accidentally discharging?

If you set the trigger too low, yes,

not all triggers are created equal, a "drop the rifle on its buttstock" with the rifle cocked is a minimum check to conduct.

But with trigger weights trending down, issues with firing on a drop, bolt close, etc, are becoming more frequent

Thanks. I planned on leaving it set at the factory setting so I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I’ll still do all the checks though.

Not common but not acceptable. low probability, high consequence. Thus worth the trouble to confirm no accidental discharge.

Always verify, always run a function check, in addition I also check function dry firing with snap caps whenever I make a change to make sure feed, extraction, and ejection work fine, whether I had the action out of the stock/chassis to put a new trigger on it, or if it is a new, or different type of magazine.

That’s what I plan to do thanks.
