I’m looking for a Timney trigger for a one 1955 Husqvarna 270. How do I find out what I need. Local gunsmith said it’s likely a Mauser 98 action. Western gun parts said hard to tell and take to gun smith. Just looking to purchase and install myself if possible.

Thank you.

Post pictures of the rifle, the action, the bolt and the marking on the barrel and action, someone will know what model it is and be able to tell you exactly what to buy! Because husqvarna 270 means nothing really

I suggest posting it in the Husqvarna-specific sticky thread. There's some knowledgeable folks there that have helped out many members here:

Will do when I get home. I believe it’s a 1640 series tang safety.
 
Here be a lead in the right direction. Then sift through the Timney site for the appropriate Mauser 98 trigger for yer rifle.

Model Identification key

Here are some clues how to identify the different HVA rifles

The late FN actions and 1640/1600 can be identified at first look by their safety;
The 1640/1600 have a side sliding safety and the FN have a wing type safety (here a replacement Bueler lever) - The 640 series most of the time, have a beech stock, while the later 1000/1100 (still on FN actions) have walnut stock.

The 1640/1600 action also have a different bolt release latch than on the M/98;

You can also see the factory Stock cross pin on this higher grade (Crown Grade) stock;

The 640 was made on two different actions, but to make it even worse, the FN action evolved itself in at leat three phases (phases pics to comelater)

Here, you can compare both a late and early 640; on a FN action(bottom) and an early one, made from a "commercial" M/38 (M/94) made by HVA (top);

Below are the two different M/94 variant (M/94 and M/38) used by HVA dfor their commercial rifles (civilian)

Top one is the 649 based on a M/38 (Commercial) and bottom the M/46 based on the M/94

Here’s a few pics. Timney replied to me and said the 201 will work with the flat bottom receiver.

Yah I just can’t get over it a bit too much pressure and take up for me. I hunt with a x-bolt .308 and it’s so good compared to this.

Well the timney should fix that!! Mine is a carbine in 30-06 and that thing is a shooter! I really love it!

This one does shoot very accurate. Haven’t shot it in years.

Mine's a 1640 in 30-06 with the thumb safety, but my stock isn't anywhere as nice as yours. Still a shooter though, and shoulders beautifully especially from standing.

Yes the 201 Timney will fit - I have a couple of them- that’s not a TANG safety it’s a Side Slide Safety - You will Love it compared to the HEAVY pull HVA trigger . RJ

Right. Slide safety. Are you sure it’ll fit. I emailed Timney the pictures and they said no go. I don’t mind trying to install. Looking at pics I don’t see how the factory safety will lock the Timney trigger.

It won't, you would have to change the cocking piece to a 98 one and use a flag type safety of you want a safety on it.

Looks great. Thank you. Did youres have a slide safety like mine? Looks like the rear of the receiver would need to be modified slightly on mine to fit that.
