Adjusting a set trigger in Voere Kufstein...need some help please

[Baribal]

The stock says 2155 but you have one of those from the late '70s / early '80s using a commercial Santa Barbara action.
In fact, Voere use(d) alsmost any M/98 actions they could get ahold of. The year of manufacture should be stamped with the proof marks on the front receiver ring and might also be on the bolt handle.

The 2165 pictured above is of '82 vintage and is military style but since Voere used what they had (have) you can't put a specific time period only by the action.

Here's what it should look like;

The 2165 proof looks like this;

while the 2155 one looks like this;

Same but different periods.

Baribal,

You are truly a wealth of information! Thank you! Amazing. What I thought were hieroglyphics on the barrel, with a magnifier and comparing to your photos...I have a stamped barrel 1971 and receiver is 1970. Looks to be a 2155 as the markings are the same as your photos of the 2155. Also, tiny stamp mark 71 on the bolt handle flat, where it meets the bolt. Amazing what we can learn here.

Now I need to get in touch with Voere to confirm how that little spring should go, although I haven't had time to play with the suggestions made here yet. Just taking a break from working on the engine swap....what a PITA. Grease from head to toe.

Cheers for now

Been a long time since I played with these triggers, and the later ones I got had the modular ones. But they should be able to tell you with your pictures. They are not verry fast to respond, but they do.

Figured it out this morning

Hi guys,

Well after about 10 minutes of staring at it and taking it all apart, I figured it out. The little triangle piece is a bolt lock when the safety is on. The little spring should hook on to the bottom of the trigger housing, I had to tweak the spring a little and tap the pin in a little further to get the e-clip to hold the spring tight against the housing. The picture of the bolt shows where the triangular piece locks, and you can see the wear mark where it has rubbed. So now when the safety is on, the bolt can't be rotated. However, the trigger design still allows the gun to be fired when the safety is off and the trigger is pushed forward. I think that's just the way these triggers are. As mentioned above, I may have a pin put in to keep prevent this.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Well I just had a ver nice email from a gent named Christian at Voere and he was very helpful in that he stated that there should be a pin, as indicated in a post above by 9.3Mauser, in the magazine/trigger guard. He also told me some info about the rifle...here is his statement

"your rifle should have a pin installed in the aluminum box magazine right in front (orange line) of the trigger as shown in the attached picture. There already should be a 2mm pin hole, as I assume that the initially installed pin got lost some time when the rifle was disassembled. I hope the information was helpful to you! Your rifle was sold on September 6th 1972 to a dealer named “Ruco” in Streetsville Canada. I have no explanation why the rifle misses the pin, other than that the aluminum box magazine was replaced at some point without adding the pin."

Great guy and very quick reply. And some Voere info to add to the knowledge base.

Cheers

I think the translation makes it sounding funny - the fact that german language permits amalgaming words may be the culprit. My understanding is that they mean "single stage trigger" compared to the original two-stage one and that it's related to the shotgun type of safety (sliding rear tang safety).

Thank you. Not just for this, but for every time I've acquired more knowledge (too often) through your posts.

More like "Ruko"
They've been importing a lot of rifles in the 'ole days.

Thanks Camster, I like sharing information.
