If I recall correctly, Timney made a double set trigger for Mausers. Anybody ever put one in? How much fitting is required?

I'm not aware that Timney ever made any double set triggers...

I have a shop full of old Mauser double set triggers and even complete with commercial bottom metal off double square bridge Mausers....I usually replaced the triggers with a Blackburn...If anyone is interrested in this stuff I would sell it or trade it...It is first class stuff.....

I do have to say that double set triggers always looked pretty cool to me, but couldn't see any reason to put them on a hunting rifle.

Ray, Let me know off-list about these triggers and what you're asking or needing.

I have a set of double set triggers on a Steyr I bought a while ago.

Can't say I care for them much, for one thing the length of pull is all screwed up because the trigger is not hwere it is suppose to be and set triggers don;t seem to be ideal for hunting.

Get yourself a copy of Do It Yourself Gunsmithing by Jim Carmichel. He goes into great detail on the installation of double set triggers.

If you would email me a list of the double set triggers you want to get rid of with prices I might be able to buy a few. My address is fjohle@aol.com.

I might do some Texas tradin too, I have a few desirable 98 Mauser actions and other goodies.

Fitting a double set to a military or similar Mauser action requires fairly precise fitting of the trigger mechanism to the bottom metal. If the rifle is being restocked at the same time, care must be taken to hold the original tolerances between the bottom metal and the action otherwise adjustments must be made to the part that fits to the action in place of the trigger. It can be done by hand, but using a mill is a lot easier.

Ray, if you can spare two of those triggers, I will take them in trade for whatever would be useful to you.

I like and use set triggers but not the double trigger sort as it changes LOP. My vote goes to the "r�ckstecher", i.e. a single trigger that can be cocked by pushing it forward. I have them on 2 rifles : a Sauer 202 and a Blaser R93.

Don't forget the Canjar single set trigger. A trigger of ingenious design and excellant workmanship.
