I'm undecided so I need your advice on which to get. Blackburn or timney 101? I ordered a wisner safety. The action is a yugo m48. Its gonna be the old 8x57, my elk rifle. So which one and why?

I like the Rechnagle safeties that NECG sells that are steel bodied. Very well made units.

Either trigger is suitable for a Mauser, the Rechnagel is quite a bit higher in price. I have used a good number of the Wisners and found them very good at that.

I always use Recknagel.
Don’t like how Timneys have the sears rounded off on the buff.

Which Yugo?

Timney recommends a Number 2 sportsman for a 48 Yugo because of the forward position of the trigger. The military trigger loop on those Yugo's is too small for the Number 1 sportsman, the trigger of which is too far towards the rear.

Timney was my "go to" for years until they went to a cast lever tht need a lot of reshaping.

As it is now, the cost difference btwn Timney and Recknagel are chump change. Reckhagel is my choice...locking adjustments, locking attachment pin.....

It appears Timney has discontinued their "Sportsman" models. I just tried a #201 FW on a 24/47, and it appears I would be better off with a #202 FW for , what they call, the k98. The position of the trigger in the trigger guard would be better.

Blackburns are no longer available as far as I know..on a big game hunting rifle I like timney well enough, otherwise the Recknagle is the better of the two...that said Im not fond of two pound triggers on a hunting rifle, a good clean breaking 3 or 4 pound trigger suits me, depending on caliber..
