I was wondering if anyone had any experience w/ the Timney Sportsman trigger for the 1903. Is the featherweight model trigger worth the extra money? Thanx!

I had the standard Timney "sportsman" installed in three of my Springfields, primarily because I wanted the side safety to go with the fact I had scopes mounted on them.

One was a 1903A4, the other two were 1903s.

They seem to work just fine, but make sure you get a good gunsmith to do the work.

Here is another way to go. Go to side under Springfield.

I have a Timney trigger in my 1922 M2 Springfield, they're great triggers.

Are the Timney safeties totally reliable? ( I know, never trust a safety.)

After six years the real question is--" Where is Fat Albert now a days"? roger

Heh, didn't notice the date stamp on this ...

Still, I've never had a problem with Timney safeties. I have two on my Mausers.

I'm still working with my Canjars !!

Don't know about Fat_Alberts date stamp but I have used one of the Huberconcept triggers on a 1917, installed easy, adjusted easy and liked it
as much if not more than my Timney on my other 1917. I do not think the HC has one with a safety.

I only use the original military triggers; why is everyone trying to re-invent something that works? Learn how to use the double stage trigger.

Tom, I totally agree on the two-stage Springfield trigger being just fine for a hunting rifle. I was just thinking about economical alternatives to the Buehler-style safety. They have always seemed to me to be too easy to turn to the off position.

Right; I was just being obstinate. I install the two position model 70 safeties for that reason. I use mostly Bold triggers, and some Timneys if the customer wants that.
