this season I had one of my loaner rifles - a custom built Mauser with an aftermarket trigger - fail due to trigger issues. So I am looking for a rugged, dependable trigger. I can go to an older issue Mauser trigger but I know a guy living here in Alaska who is building M-70 style triggers for M-98 Mausers. I looked at them and they appear to be very well built. I certainly like the openess and simplicity of them. Anyone have any experience with the Alaska Arms triggers? they have a web www.alaskaarmsllc.com  Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | ||

Phil, don't know about the Alaska Arms triggers but I'm very happy with the Blacburn trigger on my MK X. Don't know if they are available from Swift now that Ted is retired. Jim fur, feathers, & meat in the freezer  "Pass it on to your kids" | |||

Looks like a nifty design. It begs the question though, if it's for use in a loaner/beater rifle why not just go back to a military 2-stage trigger? Rugged, reliable. | |||

For the same reason that some top African PH's order rifles from D'Arcy Echols to use as loaners -- because we have to go in and clean up any messes they make.

I have a set of their rings which are really well built. That trigger looks like an adaptation of the Browning trigger on the FN based rifles like this  Thanks for posting that, I really like the looks and design and will order one. | |||

I am pleased with the Blackburn as well. Swift shows them on the site. | |||

These seem like a tidy design that I have considered but have yet to try. May be another option. http://www.huberconcepts.com/M...gger_Replacement.htm | |||

The Huber Concepts looks like a modification they taught us at TSJC back in the 50's. You make a plate that slips over the trigger with a set screw in each end and silver solder it to the trigger. Worked good and was inexpensive. Same concept except it looks like they have gone one better and put a ball bearing on top for the fulcrum. Should be a reasonably reliable trigger.

If I wanted it simple and fool proof I'd go with the blackburn or an FN single stage. Why add the extra parts? Then again I've never had a Timney or Even a Bold fail me. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

the original 2 stage Mauser trigger is simpler, safer and more reliable than any add on trigger. | |||

This is an altered 2 stage military trigger. A temproy fix I did about 30 years ago to see if it works.The origional hard faces are untuched so no wearetc. A setting of liquid steel lifted the trigger past its first stage and a judicious lightening of the spring a 1/4 turn at a time has given me a trigger as good as the Timney's I have for hunting and it currently resides on my custom 7x57, albeit with a second finger piece cut and grafted to shift it to the rear of the trigger guard.
