Any reason to look at any other triggers besides a Timney for a mauser project in the planning stage? It would be going on a Brno small ring (21/22).

Bold is less than half the price https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100641378But Timney has smart people answering the phone, if you have problems..... no intelligent life on the phone at Midway

Bold is not made any longer, hence the discontinued notice on Midway's site.

Bold triggers are/were good. For whatever reason the company no longer exists.

Unfortunately, the lack of options these days is something to consider when wanting to customize a Mauser.

I have had a Timney, (no safety), on my Higgins 50 for about 15 years, never an issue.

........... That's the route I took a few years ago when I put my Mod. 96 Swede sporter (small ring), into a Bell & Carlson stock with the aluminum bedding block. It already had a Timney trigger that was real nice except it would have required removing too much aluminum ( IMHO) from the section of bedding block right behind the trigger assembly. Got a Dayton Traister that fit in there with lots less Dremel work and I'm real happy with that one also. IME they are both nice units, the Timney was on there since about 1995 until I did the stock switch 4 or 5 years ago. I don't even know what kind of market demand there is for Mauser triggers anymore. Wouldn't be shocked if some Mauser aftermarket triggers get discontinued. Anyone know if Dayton Traister still lists one for small ring Mausers?

quite a few models are listed. Just do a search for the name and you will find their website. $70-90 Actually here is the site. I have used quite a few Timneys in them and really like them. Have a Sako trigger in a Sako rebuild and it is a very nice trigger. http://daytraco.com/Departments/Dayton-Traister.aspx

I've always wanted to try one of these. A bit pricey though. Dressel Mauser Trigger

Personally, I like the 2 stage triggers. They seem like the inspiration for the Savage Accutrigger although I may be mistaken on that one.

I didn't care for the safety on mine either, so I took it out of housing. I put a Timney Beuhler style safety on it. Shame they stopped making the Bold triggers.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

If he still makes them, The Alaska Arms trigger is just the best.

You would do well to have a side swing one installed, there is no comparison

All my customs are built on Mauser actions, some milsurp types and some commercial types. All but one have Timney triggers with which I have no complaints. The odd one out has a Dayton Traister. No complaints there as it's held steady at a hair under two pounds since the rifle was built. If I needed to replace a trigger I wouldn't hesitate to but another Timney. Paul B.

What's wrong with modifying the original trigger?
Simple and less removal of stock wood.
