More specifically, can a Timney trigger from a '91 Mauser be installed on an 1889 Belgian? Timney says NO. Anyone with experience to the contrary? Merkel 140A- .470NE Beretta Vittoria- 12 Ga. J.P.

My understanding is the 1889, 1890, and 1891 use the same parts. I would expect that they interchange? I think I would question the WHY though... given what Belgian 1889's go for vs a Argentine 1891? Unfortunately I do not have a Timney trigger to put on an 1889 to test...

I agree with your premise, which is what I have always heard. Why would I do that to a 1889 Belgian? I would not, except someone converted mine into a .308 heavy barreled target rifle. I need a better trigger before I take on the other issues. I have a Timney '91 trigger on hand, so I may try this on the weekend- more to follow. Merkel 140A- .470NE Beretta Vittoria- 12 Ga. J.P.

I'd load that 1891 on the very soft side . They aren't too strong and the gas venting system or lack of it is concern . Be careful . | |||
