Little easier to now see the "WHY FOR" when you modify the trigger blades adjustments screw holes to get sear closer to breaking & the reason on some TO-6 trigger when the let off is just getting in the sweet spot you loose safety function all together.

Thanks !

Excellent video-really appreciate the effort.  I dealt with this on the TO6 in my 460 quite a long time ago.  I spent several evenings working on the trigger including the areas Eric has so well identified here.  As noted, if you go too far with trigger adjustment you WILL lose safety function IF the black pivoting safety lever and the silver tab below it are left stock.  The black pivoting safety piece will hang up on the front of the silver tab on the trigger during cocking movement-it pivots back and the spring is not strong enough to push it over the tab and you have no (or even worse unreliable) safety function.  I spent considerable time slowly reshaping those two areas with very slight beveling and polishing to allow the black pivoting safety piece to reliably slide over the silver trigger tab even with very little first and second stage trigger blade movement.  It can be done quite well BUT it does require finesse along with several disassembly/reshaping/assembly cycles to get it just right and it cannot ever be returned to stock if this is done.  It is a permanent change unless the parts in question were replaced with new stock parts.  I drilled the trigger housing and installed a pretravel adjustment screw in front of the trigger blade along with polishing of all contact surfaces on the trigger mechanism, installation of a lighter trigger return spring, and the modification to the parts Eric has noted.  It will never be a Rekord trigger but mine has a fully reliable safety along with short and crisp two stage feel and breaks at about 16 oz.   All told I probably spent 5 to 6 hours over two evenings making the safety function reliably after the first trigger mods but it was worth it to me for the dramatic improvement in trigger feel.
