Can a New Haven Winchester 70 trigger be fitted to a 98 Mauser action? I know they make triggers specifically designed after the NH Winchester trigger to fit Mausers but was curious if there was a way around spending 300$ on an Alaska Arms.

My suggestion if you don't want to spend the money on an Alsaka trigger is just get a Timney. Not traditional but a very good trigger none the less

The thought had crossed my mind. I want a traditional trigger, but something better than the original Mil trigger. I know you can purchase Pre 64' triggers for around 50$ through Numrich and that's a bit cheaper than the Timney.

No, a M70 will not fit on a Mauser at all. I use Bold triggers either with thumb safety, or I convert bolt shroud to M70 type side swing safety.

The M98 trigger can be made to work just as fine as the M70. I have one done on a H&H Magnum Mauser, and plenty of custom gunmakers do them.

Good luck with it.

Doc, does your trigger have any set screws or over travel screws in it?

I used the Timney Light (no safety) for many years and for a safety the simplest is the FN type as was made by Buehler with a screw to hold the arm on. They made them either right or left and I saw a new version somewhere recently. The Buehler 2 piece style with the screw requires zero filing where the regular FN style requires you to file a notch in the shroud.The Timney will require some wood be removed from the stock for clearance. I find it to be very reliable as is the safety.

I bought a Bold trigger for a Mauser because it was a little cheaper than a Timney and was pleasantly surprised because I like it a little better than a Timney. Bold only makes triggers to fit Mausers and they do it right.
