Did it when I 1st got the rifle, then got it cerracoated and said fugg redoing the receivers 1st and 2nd stage fulcrum grooves.
Bored ....
Up at 530 am....
Said fugg it I'm hitting it.
Simple project 2.5 hrs....

This was the issue that was eating at my ocd.......

Layer of cerracoat gone and steel below burnished

Components I polished when I 1st got the rifle.

Ready to polish the stuff.

Polished area done.
Only so much you can do.
Pics suck...
But it is a vast improvement on the 1st polishing job I did.
Removing metal or altering geomoetry on parts is a no no.
Rest of parts polished waaay better than the 1st time.

Assembled and all 3 safety test GTG.
Bolt slam.
Bounce test on safe and fire.
Safety cycling and reset test.

Shoot a nazi rifle and shoot a Bulgarian commie rifle early tommorow morning for the 4th of july.

Epoxy a thin piece of stainless steel sheet metal over the pits and mirror-polish it with a Cratex wheel. It's a rubberized abrasive wheel that's available on Ebay, color-coded in several grits. Green is the one I buy by the dozen. Cratex also works better on the other points of contact on a Mauser trigger than the felt bob and polishing compound.

Little bit of J-B Weld on those dimples and sand smooth.

Looking good.

I tried to polish my trigger this morning but the pain pills killed that idea.

Got a laugh out of that Roger.

I would just go timney instead of that.
Or buy another 98 trigger and make the 1st stage bump go away.

Might do it too see how it feels as a single stage.
Could always do a set screw set up also for a single stage.
Aint but 5 or 6 bucks just for the trigger itself.

Its has a smooth 1st stage, with a firm its their crisp 2nd stage.
Probably 3.5 pds .

Now move on to the bolt- - - - - -you can polish your knob!
Jerry

Go the Timney route. Many of those home done conversions half pull the trigger. Have at it on your own risk.

50 or 60 years ago, a small company was selling a very well made and very thin/hard component that fit nicely over that double bump portion of the Mauser two-stage trigger - they may have called it a "shoe" - not certain abut that term. It was easy to install and quite durable. In almost most all cases, the result was a crisp single stage let off. Installed a few back then - still work well. I think the cost was about $1.00 to 1.50 for each.

I have seen that or something similar I think.
Little leaf spring screw on attachment just enough to keep pressure on it for single stage on the 2nd bump taking up the 1st bump.


I kinda like the 2 stage as it is now also.
Perfectly safe and crisp.

Probably mess around with another one and see what happens modifying the 1st bump.

Timney is an option someday outta curiosity.

Not being a dik saying this.
One thing I am not is a neophyte.
I do good safe work at my skill level that I am able to.
I refuse to pay for work that others pay for that is substandard IMO.

Seen it too many times nationwide.
And fixed what others have paid for too many times.




And I stayed at a motel 6 years ago.


JK
LOL!!!

The very worst thing a person can do to a mauser trigger is to remove the first stage. If one wants a single stage trigger, an overriding sear type is the best bet. Smooth up the "bumps" with a fine stone, smooth up the bottom of the tang, then spot harden it, then polish. The contact surfaces of the sear and cocking piece should be smooth, hard, and sharp with a neutral contact angle. If the first stage can be pulled to the second stage with about 1 to 1 1/2 lb of pull and will reset when released, it is good. I generally aim for a final let off of 3 pounds or slightly less. If I had a receiver which was as badly grooved as yours, I think I would cut a recess and install a tungsten carbide insert at the wear point. GD

I got the trigger how you describe
1st stage how you describe it and 2nd stage at around 3.5.
And it resets back from 1st stage if ya let off before completeing 2nd stage squeeze if you decide not to shoot.

So you think the 2 bump grooves in the receiver are worn too deep?
I took that pic on 4x.

When you say overiding sear type.
Do you mean an aftermarket like the Timney featherweight???
My main question about the Timney is, is it compatible with a beuhler low profile safety?

Just got done looking at their web site.
Can get one set at 1.5 pds.
Would actually like a trigger like my mod 70.
No take up and crisp, breaks like glass.
About 18 to 20 oz.
24 oz from a Timney would be GTG.
Just their, ready to touch off.

Tried to call their techs.
Gone for the 4th weekend

Trigger works proper.
But Im also open to any advice.
Never stop learning.

Always an excellent sign of high literacy when the first six posts in a thread are by the same person.

Hmmmm...
1st six post were pics and descriptions of a basic project.
Some on here enjoy posting stuff about what they do.
Some on here enjoy those threads also.
They might not make comments, but yet look at threads.

Got dove season coming up soon.
Yep ....
Live from the stand with that for sure.
Especially when the lull in midafternoon hits

Cant wait till live from the stand posting and pics deer hunting this fall.
Cant wait till next spring for live from the stand turkey hunting.

Lots of dudes on here love that schitt.....
They like busting on my azz.
They like seeing what I got going on and kills.
I got big boy pants on.
And aint nobody on here making direct deposits into my checking account.....
So IDGAF about some little innuendo shots on the internet actually.

LMFAO!!!


My pics back up my schitt.
BTDT many times and will continue to do so.


Firm beleiver in pics or it never happened ....

Unlike many on here who say this, that, or the other.

And never put up a pic of anything....

LOL!!!!!

What's a 98?

KAR 98 mauser that got customized by sako after Ww2 and sold in Px,s in the 50,s overseas in europe.
Someone brought it back.

I got it outta a pawn shop couple years ago.
Probably some d bag pawned dead grampy,s rifle for some bar hopping and some meth.....

Project rifle when I 1st got it.

Accurate.
Lightweight.
Sexy...... Lol!!!
My mod 70 ot6 aint seen the woodline since I got the 98.

Owned a Interarms Mark X in .243 back in the 80's. Wish I had it now for the action. Still have the nice Colt 1911 I traded for though.
Good post.

An overriding sear trigger is one where the trigger releases the sear; allowing striker to override it.This is how virtually every modern bolt action trigger, since the Model 70, works. While I like the simple two-stage trigger for it's reliability, something like the Timney is preferred by most. GD

Midsouth is down the road 3 miles.
They got Timneys.
All set at 3pds per their website.

Steve at the counter will let me install one.
See what it feels like compared to this original 2 stage.
74 some odd bucks and tax.
Get bored someday soon roll on down with rifle broke down.
Install it at the counter.
Put the stock back on
Check one out.

Yo Bossman, so the next time I or anyone else makes a thread, are we only allowed one picture to tell a story?

Something like the Indian artifacts thread must be extremely loathsome to you.

Unless I misunderstood this whole exchange with the OP.

If you want some triggers to play with i have some 98 triggers laying around.

That dude has always been an ankle biter man.
Never starts threads.
Just comes in with snarky comments all over the forums.
Been his M.O. forever.
Anti Trumper also.

Basically a guy no one ever responds too on here.
B type TWE....
Turd with eyes...


LOL!!!

Im cool man.
Thanks.
Got a gunsmith Im on pretty good terms with about 15 miles away.
He has parts galore.
Sure I could pick his brain also.
His name is Hal Brinkley
He seems to enjoy when I stop in and bring something in for his advice and know how.
84 yrs old.
Never wants to charge me.
But I stuff money in his shirt pocket and tell him the electricity aint free.

Been looking at ebay
And a buncha vids on aftermarket 98 triggerz

Bold triggers look interesting also.

Some fancy german named one
Kippelfingeer SP???


Not a needed thing really.
Just a thinking gathering info thing right now
The mil 2 stage in it is good to go actually.

Basically a day of contemplating keeping the 2 stage or going aftermarket.
Got till mid oct to decide....

But I am gonna call the techs at timney and ask about compatibility with a buehler low position safety, which I dont see why it should not be.

BOOM...


Fuuckinaye man!

Better off with none.

People beleive everything typed verbatim on the innerweb....
LOL!!!

Pics or it never happened.

But B type ankle biters get a smug feeling with snarky comments.
Fuzzy puppies and warm coco and schit for em....

Says gunsmithing is a pastime of his on his profile.
Changed out a buffer spring on an AR 15 maybe???


Anti Trump comments of his are enough for me to know he is a schitbyrd...




Dude is one of those internet know it alls.....
Pics or it didnt happen..


LMFAO!!!!

A lame comment, at best

Not lame.

OK then: Cheap shot, snide, arrogant, supercilious. There's more where those came from.

Give the man a break, He's may not be Aristotle, but he actually knows what he is talking about, and is willing to share.

What have you done for the fire lately? Or Theostopoles?

I think you might be taking JB the wrong way man.



Some Henry Kissinger schitt on my part guys


LOL!!!

Lol

Ren50 gettin shît on.




How bout just post stupid shît like links to the latest breaking news of new anal itching therapy breakthroughs?

LOL!!!

Cant do that man.

LOL!!!


Pics or it never happened is my bread and butter man.

LOL!!!

Hey what about pics of those college hotties hitting your place tonight?????


LOL!!!

Pics of spankers or it never happened!!!


LOL!!!

Well here's my bottom line: The snide comment(s) by Theo Gallus seemed lame to me.

Now that renegade 50 has spoken up I supposed there is more than one way to interpret JB's comment. I read it as saying the comment by Theo Gallus was not a lame one.

I suppose it could have been read to say that the entire thread was "not lame", which I agree with.

However if what JB meant was that Theo Gallus ' comment was not a lame one, then....that's lame.

All of which is to say that pot shot(s) taken at a good natured gent willing to share his lessons learned deserve to be called out

And apologies to JB if I misread his post.

I did not misread theostolples post, and stand by my comments there.

Its all good guys.




Theo pee alot on his knees.

Hahahahaha!!!!

Aka.
Ankle biting anti Trumper Theo Gallas.


LOL!!!

WTF?

Blu_Cs

I can be good natured .
I can be a real dik also.

Many know this.
I'm infamous.


Just easier to get along.
Or at least try and brush schitt off in a " nicer way"

Being a dik takes work.
Exasperating actually sometimes.

The title of Renegade's thread was "Lame thread, polishing a 98 trigger". I said not lame Nothing else needs to be read into it.

Ok guys
Im gonna roll one up.

Lets burn it and talk this out like conservative guys should.

Then I can teach ya both how to x cut dum dums outta FMJ rounds with a 30 Tpi hack saw blade taped up on one side for a hand grip and control.

Perfect for Liberal Socialist Democrats of all ilks.....


LOL!!!



PS.
Better sense got the best of me the day I was contemplating a pic filled instructional how to post about those........

3 man cells JB just like I posted the other day.

3 man cells.....

Should’ve come out to the house. 40 burgers on the weber, all the cheese you want.
Buffet of toppings I cut and chopped up.

The VA should’ve hired me for that kitchen detail. Gs11 ?? lol

I’m sitting with Cooper and Mag while everyone does their thing 100 yrds end of the driveway. I gave them a propane torch and walked away.

Hahaha, that's some serious Darwin schit.

Renny’s got’s skillz...Love seeing the wrecks he returns to glory. Impressive shît...Now pass the blunt, Bogart...LOL 😎

Lol.

The Buehler safety will work fine with the Timney if properly fitted. I have two rifles so equipped. I like the Buehler-type safety. The Bold trigger is similar in design to the Timney but the workmanship is not as good IMO. The Kepplinger is a good trigger and available as a single set. The housing takes up a lot of space and the Mauser has a small tang already. GD

Thanks man .
1st hand Info I need for sure.
Will be looking into the Timney more than likely.
Under 75 bucks plus tax.
Not a bad thing.
