I have a 257 roberts that I believe is an old mauser conversion but I don't what kind of mauser. There is no safety on the bolt it is on the side. I will try to get some pics posted.

tap-21, sounds like someone has started to sporterize your Mauser, any other markings of any kind. dates or anything, Mausers make good sporting rifles, I have some myself 98's and 96's. Keep us posted on your project. All-rite

here is a pic of the action.

FN supreme - came with the side safety the deluxe came with the safety on the bolt

I would like to thank everyone for your help but I need to know if it is possible to get a relplacement trigger for this gun and which kind would be best?

Santa barbara , spain

Based on the shape of that bolt handle I think it is a Santa Barbara ( Made in Spain )

I agree with D. Humbarger. the bolt handle is wrong for an FN.

Yes, you could use a Timney with the side safety as a complete replacement - but I'd check t see if the trigger is adjustable before replacing it. Looks nice!

El Deguello the trigger is non adjustable all it has is a spring no adjustments what so ever. Also what timney trigger would I have to get? Thanks.

heres a bold trigger for it.

I'm sorry jb I was wondering what mauser style of trigger I would have to have to fit the rifle above.

Does anyone know what style of mauser trigger I would have to have as a replacement?

EX. model 98

Tap, what did you not like about the trigger jb posted a link to??

This would likely also work (speak to Timney about which exact model you need):

The only Santa Barbara Mauser I have ever seen had "Santa Barbara, Spain" engraved on the left/rear receiver below the stock line, just above the trigger group.

I have no idea whether or not this was a standard practice.

I have a bold trigger,
I prefer the timney , I have a bunch of those...tj3006

I'm sorry it's not that I didn't like the style of trigger but I didn't know which of the two to get the model 98 or 94/96 or will either of them fit a santa barbara. I'm sorry I'm just not that knowleadgable on mausers.

That is a model 98 style rifle, so most of the triggers for 98's will work. You can probably change it yourself with a pin punch. The new trigger may have a bigger sheet metal box, so you may have to remove some stock wood to make it fit.


Try cleaning and lubricating the existing trigger, it may make it acceptable to you. I like spray brake cleaner.

I have a Bold Optima, and I doubt it is much better than what you have already. I have not adjusted it, so maybe its better than I think.

I believe that OP 98 model on the Boyd's website mentioned above would work. You need one with the side safety, unless you want to have a 3-position, Model 70-type safety installed on the bolt shroud. That type would be safer, since it retracts and locks the striker....

Why don't you e-mail Boyd's and ask them if that trigger will work on a Santa Barbara M98-type Mauser action?
