FN98 Trigger Options

[pop91]

Just wondering if anyone can provide some insight into trigger upgrade/replacement options for a 1953 FN98 Mauser. Would be preferable if the stock did not have to be adjusted.

Thanks!

Give the Dayton-Traister MkII a try. The ones I’ve used were at least as good as the Timney Sportsman. The MkII is a very compact unit that will fit the existing stock mortice with little wood removal.

I’ll give it a look, thanks! Though it does not appear that that website ships to Canada.

Brownells carries them and they ship to Canada. Unfortuately these triggers appear to be on back order.

Another alternative may be the Timney Featherweight which come with or without a safety. Brownells ship these to Canada. The Featherweights will require a bit more wood removal.

Which model #201 or #202 would be the correct fit for this specific application?

In your original post, you mentioned that your rifle was an FN98 Mauser. This been the case, I’d go with the 201 version.

Count me as another big fan of the Dayton Traister triggers. I've used them in two different JC Higgins 50 FN Mausers.
