say mauser or springfield- can they be slicked up at all, and what kind of poundage?

for the price of a Timney I wouldn't mess with the military trigger ever.

Sure they can, by the right person. I have a couple of Mausers with the original two stage triggers that have been "worked". Both are smooth, no creep in either stage, and break cleanly right at 3 1/2 lbs.

I like my Husqvarna FN triggers just fine. single stage and 2 stage on my older '40's rifles work great for me.
A good rifleman can trim the spring and stone polish the sear parts to get a nice 3 1/2 lb trigger and shhoot 1/2" groups easy. Just keeps it simple, rather than buying a timney contraption and haveing to hog off wood from the stock inlet. Though I have a few timneys on mausers , I prefer the simple stock trigger reworked just as well if not better.

I like a two-stage, I used one hunting last october- thanks all for the info, I'm going to receive a springfield 03A3 sometime soon, and that's why I asked.

31/2 pounds is fine Smiler

If you don't want all the wood removal use a Dayton-Traister. Either it or a Timney beat ANY military rework hands down.

The majority of my mausers still have a two stage trigger. I just prefer them for hunting. They all break cleanly. To me, that is more important than a light trigger which I believe to be over rated on big game rifles.
