Timney trigger for Husqvarna
In the process of sprucing up my old Husqvarna, I ordered a new FN style bolt shroud and Timney # 301 trigger.

I installed the FN # 301 trigger on my action without any problems, and the shroud on the bolt.

The trigger holds and releases the cocking piece just fine, but once the firing pin drops, I cannot open the bolt. I have to pull the trigger to the rear to be able to open the bolt. It seams that the sear and the cocking piece bind and lock the bolt in the closed position.

Would a Timney K98 #302 trigger, or a different cocking piece rectify this problem?

What do you suggest?

Thanks,

TK

Different cocking piece will solve the problem; you need the FN-style cocking piece with the solid, smooth bottom. The small cutout on the bottom of the early/military cocking piece is allowing the trigger's top sear piece to rise up high enough to engage the bottom/trigger sear piece again, before the bolt can be withdrawn. I've also used silver solder and weldments to fill in this small gap.

Had exactly the same problem when I put a 98 cocking piece on my Mark X. For a quick temporary fix I used Acraglas. It was quick, but it's still there, several years later... hilbily

I would be a +1 to that.

That was my thinking as well. Thanks for the input.
