If you read my previous post, you know that I have been having trouble with an older canjar trigger on a sporterized mauser. I contacted canjar, but I have decided to scrap the trigger and start anew. I just don't want to have any second thoughts about the function of the rifle, as it is my fiance's main hunting gun.

I have two questions. First, the action is slightly shorter than my other 98 mauser. Does this in fact make it a mexican mauser? I believe it is also stamped "something, something, fabrica mexico" on the reciever. I didn't have time to pull the scope and bases off to verify though.

If it is in fact a mexican mauser, do I need a trigger specifically for it, or will any aftermarket 98 trigger work? Are most aftermarket triggers drop in, or would I be wise to take it to a smith. I will need one with an integral safety, as the shroud does not have one. I have experience with my model 700 triggers, but this is the first mauser that I have worked on.

Thanks for the thoughts and replies.

Is it a small ring or a large ring? What year is marked on the front receiver ring? Does it have the Springfield type cocking piece or not? This will narrow it down a tad. - Dan

Dan-

This goes to show how little I honestly know about the variations of Mauser rifles!

How do I tell if it is a large or small ring?

No, it doesn't have a springfield type cocking piece. I'm not near the rifle right now, but I'll check on the year and get back to you on that.

Thanks for the reply - Gib

Gib, Timney has a trigger that fits the Mexican 98 Mauser. Brownells has them.

what chic said.. i've got a couple...

if you use the one for the 98, the angle is wrong
