Timney trigger for Husqvarna 270?

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.

Yep - different kind of "safeties" - original Mauser 98 / Mauser 96 / Mauser 93 had their safety lever grab the cocking-piece separately from the trigger sear. Commercial "side safeties" seem mostly to block the trigger from releasing the trigger sear - commercial safeties only contacted the cocking piece /firing pin at one place. Timney made/makes versions of their triggers with or without the slide safety for Mauser 98 style - if the rifle did not have an original Mauser safety on the bolt / cocking piece, then required an inlet be made on stock, beside the inlet for the tang - for that slide safety lever to work. Even some replacements - that inlet may be in wrong place - too long or too short for a "drop in" replacement. Contact of that slide safety lever on the rifle stock is an undesirable thing.
 
Well I got the trigger and it works. Pretty easy install. Had to file the sear slot and open up the stalk for trigger clearance ,also had to bend the safety slightly.

That's very interesting, for the longest time now I've been led to believe that the "Tradewinds" was the only Timney trigger available for the 1600 series. And they have been out of production for decades.
Thanks for the info.
