trigger for a mauser?

I have modified the existing stock triggers with reasonable success, putting in set screws for overtravel and setting trigger pull. This is a lot of work, as you have to anneal the part, drill and tap, and stone your sear surfaces. I have used Timney and Bold, these are good triggers for hunting applications. I have put Sako triggers on '98 Mausers. I think the Bench rest boys use Canjar triggers on their rigs. Huber and Dayton Traister also put out triggers for the Mauser.

I've got Timneys and Dayton-Traister triggers on my Mausers and can't see any difference in performance.

I prefer the the Dayton only because they require less wood be removed from the inletting to make them fit.

They are available from Brownells or direct from the manufacturer at daytraco.com. And yes, they can be legally imported without permits.:)
 
... Although I've never used one, nor even seen one, there's an aftermarket trigger for SMLEs and M98s, that looks like a very simple installation, forgive me if I spell it wrong, but I think the name is "Huber" .... utilizes a captive ball bearing for the contact surface. 'Might be worth looking at/into ... David K.

Heres a stupid question. How do I replace a firing pin with a stronger one on an M24/47 and as well the adjusting the trigger, how is this done?

Reason I ask is the firing pin has a hard time with Military rounds but is fine with factory ammo.
 
First check your firing pin protrusion, Kunhausen says .055-.065" with .060 being optimal. If that checks out OK, then think about a new firing pin spring.

I just put in my Huber stainless match trigger in my M44 Nagant, unbelievable! Went from a two stage military 9 pound trigger to an adjustable 2.5 pound single stage by just replacing the trigger. I polished the sear up with some 1000 grit where the ball bearing makes contact and had to take a few strokes with a file off of the trigger bolt latch but wow, what a difference! Can't wait for the next range day. Work gets in the way of so much!

you could also get a bold trigger for the 98 mauser
Boyds gunstocks sells them they are cheaper than the timney but I have used them and they work as well if not better
 
Jaeger triggers are about the finest you can get for a 98 Mauser, but hard to find. I have also used Timney and BOLD and they work just fine, as well.

X2. I have used them on Large and Small ring Mausers with great results.
 
I agree with Ted that the Jaeger trigger is hard to beat but I personally think the Blackburn is a little better. The Jaeger is a grooved trigger and the Blackburn smooth if that influences your decision at all. Either of those triggers is quite a bit better than a Timney or Bold.
 
I have used a bunch of Timney sportmans on my Enfield P's rifles. I love them and they can be tuned to be very light. Not sure if the Mauser ones will do the same thing but can't see why not.

I have also used a Parker Hale Mauser trigger on a Midland. Very nice but couldn't get as light as the Timney. From the look of it, the PH and the Bold share a near identical chasis. Maybe BOLD took over manf???????

Either will serve you well for a hunting trigger.
