Gun modifications done wrong= a bad time

PSA: I can't be 100% sure without the gun in hand, but the AD likely is due to two factors, 1) not enough sear engagement (the vertical tolerances vary from gun to gun, which is why the factory sear has more than necessary), and 2) the striker block had been disabled.

In the video, the modified sear was criticized for having a vertical sear profile (engagement surface), but the real problem is that the top of the sear had been filed down too far, reducing the sear engagement.

I own one rifle purchased used. I had three negligent discharges. When I turned the safety off it would sometimes fire. The first time it happened I was not sure my finger wasn't near the trigger but on the other two it wasn't even close. I disassembled it and found the worlds worst looking home made bedding job and upon inspection of the sear noticed it was filed at an angle the engagement surface was more like an engagement point. So now my super accurate CZ 452 22lr is going to be sitting in the safe until some day I can afford to get a new trigger assembly. Never again will I buy a used gun.

Just a note here, not every gun you get used has necessarily had the "Bubba" treatment, but do be aware that "Bubba" can take on many forms. Back in the 80's I had a shooting buddy that only bought the best of everything. He had a very well paying job and could afford to do it. He had everything done, never so much as lifted a tool. He even tried to take any of the guns he shot and have them professionally cleaned. Fast forward to "Hard Times" and he is selling everything to pay the bills. Long story short, I Loaned him $500, and took a Remington 700 that he had just bought. I didn't want the gun but what do you say to someone who's hurting. I know for a fact he never touched it, and never fired it but the work that he did pay for was so shoddy and poorly done if I had not gone with him when he dropped the gun off I would never believe someone didn't do the work in their kitchen. The place and the smith are long gone as is my friend, but good work should never be passed over if it can be substantiated.
