The original mauser triggers on the K98 and M96 are not made to be adjustable. I would highly recommend a Bold trigger upgrade; installed 2 on my M96s and they are a dream and very easy to adjust for creep, overtravel, pull weight. Instructions are included with purchase or can be had on the internet, although I don't remember where, but I saw them once. Absolute best upgrade for the $ on any mauser, IMO.

mitch,

Do you really mean "creep" or do you mean take-up?

I've worked on mine and got a lot of creep out but could do nothing with the take-up.

I'll second huntsman on the Bold Trigger. I put one on my m96 sporter and the difference was like night and day. Only thing: mine required filing open the trigger guard a bit before the replacement trigger would slip back through. I had a sporter that had already been seriously modified so this didn't matter to me. If you're trying to keep it in original condition though, this might present a problem.

muasers have a two step military trigger, you have to pull close to a 1/4
inch before you get to the second step which is the firing step. you can take this out but it takes some paitence to get the trigger pull right after you do. when you take you rifle apart you'll see the trigger has two humps on top where they ride under the action, the forward hump is the first step of the trigger, pull it a few times and you'll see how it works. the second hump releases the sear. you can grind of the first hump then roynd the second one a little,{take your time and reassyemble and test alot, this is what takes patience.}you can also polish the sear and bolt some to help everything work smoother. I did this to my M48 and it work great no creep at all and right now its about 4 to 4.5 pounds pull but I am gonna polish some more to see if I can't get it a little lighter.

BNB, I admire your craftsmanship in fine-tuning the military trigger of your mauser. If keeping all the original parts is a concern, it is certainly a good alternative to the original trigger form and function. However, unless you just need the hobby, fooling around with the highly functional but extremely coarse mauser trigger is, IMO, not worth the time and effort. With a Bold or Timney trigger you will be done in less than 30 minutes with your modification and have a far superior trigger than anything you will get by modifiying the original. Far, far better feel, much more adjustable, much tighter tolerances all the way around. Just my 2 cents, of course.

I like to tinker and play junior gunsmith. :roll: I also have a timney trigger for it. But thats to easy.

Yes - I'd like to see your work too! Been slowly working on a vz-24 trigger every time I clean it.

Badnews Bob · « **Reply #10 on:** September 11, 2004, 05:44:05 PM »

I'll see what I can do.
