Just to see how; I made a new trigger out of 01 to replace the military one. Have a timney trigger for it, just goofing mostly.I added an ear in front to adjust take up and one in the back for over travel. Damn hard on top and spring tempered below. A slightly softer spring out of the junk box. Feels good and takes the butt banging the floor test.
What are the down sides to these old fashioned mods? There has to be one or every body would be doing it.

You just spent $100 of gunsmithing time and you still have a two stage trigger ...

A direct acting two-stage trigger is the safest, most reliable trigger you can have. It is relatively easy to have a two-stage trigger which breaks at a crisp 3 pounds and this is a good trigger. It is easy to shoot and will NEVER fail. Regards, Bill

Perhaps I did my usual and was unclear in my original post. The front hump is gone, no double stage and a whole new trigger as a single pull; and not bad at that. My question now is will it continue to hold it's setting or will the sear and cocking piece relationship deteriorate. The mechanism was designed for a two stage with lots of engagement; it was a battle weapon.
Russ; no gunsmithing time; my usual job pays about $3.50 an hour; so it didn't hurt me too bad. I am always about 30 years behind the times.

I have to confess, I dislike the elimination of the first hump because , in order to get a reasonably crisp direct trigger in single stage, sear engagement must be reduced too much. Still, it was a common modification, back in the day, and many people liked it. Regards, Bill

I get it.
When I modify a Mauser trigger like that, i cut down the hump and drill a pocket in the top of the trigger to hold a ball bearing. It makes for a pretty good set up. I've done them with and without the addition of the screw in front as you describe.
