Dayton Traister's in Canada?

- Start date
There are two different sizes of 98 Mauser that I know of, the large ring and small ring, and then I believe there are three different lengths to, not including the custom ones for the various cartridge lengths.
If anyone out there can clear this up who has more experience than I do it would be great, I hate to pass out bad info!
A kind member dropped me a phone number for a Gent in Manitoba in case anyone else wants to contact them.

Look up HvH in Winnipeg. Got one from Bob there for a swede 96.
He has an ad in the Access to firearms.

I like D-T triggers. I've got them on two of my Mausers with the third Mauser having a Timney. There's no difference in feel or function but the D-T is easier to inlet. I usually buy them direct from Brownells but they can also be had directly from D-T in Oak Harbour, Wash.
Just as a matter of interest, a D-T trigger for a small ring Mauser will fit and function on a M98(at least it does on my 1908 Brazilian).
And you're right about there been different sized M98's. For example, the Mexican M1910, M1936 and the M1954 are small ring with a third lug,a C-ring and ####-on-opening. To me, that makes them a 98.
Here's some information I picked up off the Web a while back.

Noel, you are correct. There are several versions of 98 Mausers that are small ring. We are not talking about 92, 93, 94, 96 Mausers, but true 98s with ####-on-opening and the third locking lug on the bolt.
Most have small thread barrel tenons, but some are actually small ring receivers with the same barrel threads as large ring 98s. I know this for certain, because I had one years ago. Rockchucker on the board here ended up with it.

Thanks for clarifying Mauser98 and Ted. When it comes to the technical issues it's great to have such a source of knowledge here!
Also I should mention Downwindtracker2 said it is a cinch to get these straight from Dayton themselves. Good to know!
Thanks guys!

I too am interested in an aftermarket trigger for my 1895 Chilean Mauser....would this model of D-T have a safety incorporated (sliding) as well? I believe that the Timney does(?).
It's funny how complicated a rifle can become in today's techno-get-it-right world we live in. I'm sorry to the perfectionist's but, to me, if it cocks on closing it's a small ring and, if it cocks on opening, it's a large ring. I own 4 of them, 2 small, 2 large rings......

The Dayton I am after does not have a safety in it at all, it will remain on the bolt shroud. The rifle is a Brno 21H, small ring, and it cocks on opening.
The advantage of this Dayton is it is very compact, not much bigger than the factory trigger of even an origonal military styled trigger for that matter. The less wood removed from this dainty little stock, the better, IMO.
I will see if I can post a pic.
I know the type of sliding safety/trigger assy you speak of Espanola, but I have only mucked with three Parker Hale triggers which are similar but I cannot say identical.
Just go here and you will see what I am looking for, and whether or not it will work for your toy.
