A couple of years ago I had a Dayton Traister trigger installed in my M77 MKII. It has only been since the trigger was installed that I have noticed that the safety is extremely stiff to operate. Perhaps it was this difficult before the install, but I just don't remember. I also don't know what took me so long to notice it and why I have been putting off seeing if there is anything that can be done about it. Perhaps that sounds crazy to suggest that a safety needs to be loosened up, but it really is difficult to flip the safety off (especially when wearing gloves).
Is there anything about a trigger installation that might have caused this or are they very stiff from the factory? I don't want to make the thing unsafe, but can anything be done to make it easier to operate?
It hasn't actually messed me up while hunting (so far) but there have been times when the thought of sitting there with the safety at the halfway load/unload position has crossed my mind (I have not yet yielded to that temptation...and I won't, I promise). I frequently wish the thing had a tang mounted safety. Argh!
