For those who want something abit different on a M98 than a Timney or a Blackburn which I have them both on my guns this is quite exciting.

Just finished installing one on my 1935 Chilean 7x57 for grins and grins it is!

Morris is great to work with. Fast shipping, ordered it last Friday and got it early today thanks to the Post Mistress forgetting about today being I guess Martin L. King day, she closed up for the afternoon.

Nice looking trigger, others have mentioned it before on here, but is out of my price range.

Oh by the way I thought MLK Day was January 17th this year?

Some of my BEST Mauser actions I paid less than they want for that trigger. No thanks. WAY over priced for 2 pieces of steel that are probable investment cast.

While these are expensive, they are machined, not cast. Morris is a heck of a nice guy, and a very talented one, who actually delivers on what he promises, and in a reasonable time frame.

well DH,,,,,I am strongly considering in buying another one for my M98 .458WM. loundnboomer has it right . I think America built products can be good and this one appears to be rather nice, asides it is built in Alaska! When I bear hunt I like the idea of a simple and rugged yet reliable trigger as "part" of the make up of my tools. You pay for what you want. Gonna shelf my Timney.

Is looks to be a very rugged & solidly build trigger. Just too expensive for my tightwad Scottish ass.

I have not talked to morris, though I got an email out of the blue about 3-4 months ago when they came out with these triggers, however I would guess that they wire edm the trigger then machine the engagement surfaces.

I would be interested to hear where they source their American steel from in Alaska. American steel is expensive and sometimes difficult to get in Ohio. I would hate to think what it would be like in Alaska. I never thought of it as an advertising point though...

As to the price... I could not make one for $220. I might make 100 @ $220ea. Alot depends on how he makes it. Wire time is expensive, sometimes un-obtainable. Machine time often takes longer.

A lot has to do with how many he makes. At $220, I will probably put one on a rifle so that I have some experience if a customer asks me about them. At $150 ea I would put a few on rifles. At $100 I bet he could not make them fast enough.

If you're looking for a GOOD Mauser trigger, here's a very reasonable alternative.

I installed one in my Mauser build and they're simple to install, a breeze to adjust and a joy to shoot.

He manufactures different styles and the best part? His MOST expensive model is only $96.31!!!

I'm telling you, if you're looking for a good crisp trigger with a nice adjustable let-off, and you have a Mauser action, this is a great trigger...

The Huber Concepts is interesting, but I think I'll stay with my Timmney, for now.

Not too wide but tight yes!

I did something very much like the Huber trigger way back in the early 70s to a [believe it or not] Mex Mauser in 7X57 with a CHERRY barrel. Stuck it in a nice light Koa stock and it shot like Hogans Goat! The trigger stayed at 3 lbs all the time and was crisp and nice. Never made another because of the difficulty etc and time. Still works for the guy who got the rfile in Hawaii though.
Aloha, Mark

These Alaska Arms triggers are well built of quality materials and made right here in Alaska.

I like them a lot

I like the fact that the Huber minimizes the need for wood removal. I am thinking of trying one on my old FN/Husky 9.3x62 that still runs the original 2 stage trigger.

Yep, that was one of the things that decided it for me as well. I think it was less than 10 seconds with a Dremel tool and the action was back in the stock!

And, he does triggers for other kinds of rifles than just Mausers; he does triggers for Enfields, Remington 700's and others.
