TentmanBlackburn trigger and 98 Mauser Cocking Piece
Hello Folks – could someone advise if the Blackburn trigger (now made by Swift) will function correctly with a standard military style (notched) cocking piece.
Thanks

Don MarkeyYes and the 6 or 7 I did. 2 of them I needed to oped the sear slot in the receiver a little though. Easy fix just giving you a heads up.

Are these the steel triggers? I'd look them up but got to run in a few minutes! Thanks.

TentmanThey say they have both steel and alloy, in stock for $125. Mine should be shipping today. Seems to good to be true !!

srtraxNice to know that the steel one is around, but why would someone pay 125.00 for an alloy trigger!

Heck..you probably know this, but it's only the housing that's alum. working parts are steel..same as say..Timney.
Some have expressed "concern" that the pin holes might elongate over time, but I've never seen that. Fact is that my own 270 (now on it;s second barrel) I installed a Timnmey Sportsman in 1986...adjusted it and never touched it since.
Aluminum housings seem to work just fine over the long haul.

Your right Duane, but I've never spent 125.00 on a Timney trigger of any kind...
