A Savage 308 pistol came into the shop with a trigger that wouldn't catch or hold cock — and Master Gunsmith Ken Brooks found it was assembled wrong from the start.

In this episode of Over the Gunsmith's Shoulder, Ken Brooks walks you through diagnosing and repairing a trigger function failure on a Savage 308 pistol — including a full trigger housing teardown and correct reassembly.

You'll learn:
✅ How to diagnose a trigger that won't catch or hold cock
✅ Why incorrect trigger housing assembly causes complete function failure
✅ How to safely remove and reinstall the safety detent pin and torsion spring
✅ How to use a slave pin technique during tight reassembly
✅ How to adjust the safety screw and over-travel screw correctly
