I don't know how many do this but here's a couple tweaks to consider on a Panda/Kodiak or any applicable actions.
Note how short the sear connector piece opening is. The area between the top of the connector piece and the bottom of the covered area is perfect for bits of powder and junk to collect in and keep the trigger from letting the bolt cock. You can sluice the trigger out all you want but unless the trigger comes out and you clean the under side of this area, it's probably not going to help. Extending the opening forward to the end of the connector piece not only helps get around this but lets a trigger flushing be more effective. You can also see the rear action screw is in a blind hole. By doing a through hole, you can gain another 3-4 threads of screw engagement and not worry about whether the screw could be bottomed out.
