Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Mauser Trigger Question?

I need a new trigger to replace the frightful factory trigger in my Interarms Mark X. The new trigger needs to have a safety. Timney lists a Sportsman trigger WITHOUT a safety for about $50, but not one with a safety. They have the Featherweight Deluxe model with a safety, but it costs over a hundred bucks!

Can anyone recommend a good adjustable trigger with safety for my Mark X that is not quite so pricey?

Timney is hard to beat. I wouldn't go with a cheap trigger.

+1; that FW is a great one.

I got set up a BOLD for a buddy & it's served him well. About like a Timney Sportsman w/ safety.

I've used the Bold trigger and it does work well, got mine from Boyds stocks. Link here

Is the Bold trigger made in China?

Have you tried adjusting the factory trigger, or having a gunsmith adjust it? I have had a couple of the Interarms Mark X's and found the trigger very easy to adjust and resulting in a very good trigger.

Just something to think about before you spend money.

BR,

What trigger configuration does your Mark X have? Early Mark Xs had the two-stage military style triggers and later ones had sear/over travel/pull weight adjustments. The cocking piece associated with these two triggers differs and dictates which aftermarker trigger will mesh with the cocking piece configuration (notched versus flat).

My Mark X has the two-stage military trigger, and it is truly frightful! The pull is about 8 pounds, and there are no adjustments whatsoever. I'm pretty handy, and could figure out how to improve it some, but I would rather just put a good trigger on it. I like Timneys and have several, but I really would like to look at some less costly alternatives before I drop a C-note on another Timney.

Any more reports on the Bold trigger?

^^This^^

think that you are going to have the gun a long long time and get a Blackburn Trigger and a 3 position safety for the thing, and don't look back.

I didn't remember where my Bold triggers was made so I checked them at Brownells, Made in USA. $55 so they won't seem cheap.

Thanks colodog. That is exactly what I was looking for. A new Bold trigger is now on order.

The bold triggers have worked for me as good or better as the timneys.

Don't forget to look at the Alaska Arms trigger:

Timney and a 3-pos safety M70 style is the way to go on a Mauser.

Another plus one for both Bold and Timneys. Can't go wrong with either.

For less than $100 as the OP requested?

The new BOLD trigger arrived today. Can't wait to install it!

I love gun projects.

I can't tell any different in results between the Bold and the Timney. I think the Bold is underrated, at least in my small experience.

Well, got the bold installed finally. Should have bought the Timney.
