While working on two Mausers yesterday, one a 98, the other a 96, I compared the Timney triggers from each. As far as I can see with eyeball and dial caliper, the only difference is the diameter of the hole for the pin that retains the unit to the bottom of the action. I compared the relationship of the pin hole to the location of the sear and both are identical. Sooooooo..... If you find yourself with the "wrong" trigger, it appears you can make either work by simply using the pin that fits what you have. Anyone out there have info to the contrary??

Thinking back a few years, I think I noticed this same thing. If memory serves, you are correct. But then again I'm old.....Tom

I've used 98 triggers on 96s and 95s but most of those 1895 rifles also had 1898 intermediate bolts installed. The trigger lengths were the same but the 98 triggers often had to have their sear noses lowered in the vertical direction since the 98 bolt placed the cocking piece closer to the trigger. So I guess what I'm saying is that IMO it'll work but may need some adjustment.
