Amateur gunsmiths should be very careful with triggers, safeties, sears etc. If you do not fully understand the principles behind the designs then you should not attempt to repair them. Safety first always but at the same time, no real need to over think this one. It is a very common issue.

In my case, the triggers swapped perfectly. No issues.

But his example seems to give assurance to amateur gun smiths that Fox triggers may be freely switched in 5 minutes with no other considerations or things to check and that could create an unsafe gun.


That could be true. This happened on two different Foxes where the triggers were switched. In both cases the guns were test fired to include the safety working manually with the triggers switched with no problems. Perhaps it was luck of the draw, but in both cases the smith switched the triggers back to their original factory position in 5 minutes. What I will say is in both Foxes the automatic safety rod had been removed.

Many fox guns that i have been into have the top of the trigger blades that contact the safety bent inward slightly. Reversing them may cause the safety to not work reliably or wood clearance issues might arise.
