From the master - A10XRifle

"The Picture above of the Modified Trigger is wrong. They were milled not dremeled, and the dimentions were .240 from the front, .290 Heigth. Cut away."

From the M40A1 build thread, page 2.

Be careful of old Remington 700 triggers.The problem is in the safety.If the safety is set then the trigger is pulled the gun will not go off but as you release the safety then it goes off or when you try to cycle the bolt it may fire.I have only seen this once but encourage anyone to be sure of a secondhand trigger good luck on your build
