It should, although mine required a gunsmith to make the Timney function correctly. Congratulations on your Higgins 51L. They are true sleepers: a great action, a good barrel, light weight, a usable stock, and usually a bargain price.
Yes, a Timney trigger will work in these fine,usually if you have a deluxe trigger will have to adjust the safety bar. I have two of these rifles that were bought in the Early 1960,s when a local western auto store went out of business. These are the FN Commerical actions,and well made. Bought the rifles for $54.50 each. van
