  1. I'm going to drop Timney another email and see if they'll send me out a safety plate that actually reaches me. If/when I get it I'll just grind what I need to off the top of the plate. It was the knurled knob on the top that was hitting my striker shroud (iirc), if I knock half of that down with a grinder it should still work just fine. I've actually fabricated a new one out of 16ga steel plate, but at this point its the principle of the thing. They said they'd replace it, so I want my replacement part.
  2. Thanks for the info, bilurey. I have the PH cocking peice, in fact I have the entire PH bolt assembly. That and the trigger came as a package deal when I baught them. I wound up purchasing the FN Featherweight delux trigger from Timney, and the side safety was still too far to the left to clear the "streamlined" cocking peice shroud on my bolt. Hence the breakage issue. At this point I'm entertaining the idea of playing with original military trigger components, or a huber adjustable trigger, just to see what I like best. I'm also looking at getting a Gentry model 70 style safety. When my stock shows up (any week now) I can at least get a good feel for the Timney trigger and see if I like it enough to keep it. Still waiting for that replacement safety plate. Probably wont be buying another timeny.
  3. I have my trigger from them, but in the preocess of "gently bending" the safety plate to make it fit I broke off the lever. I emailed timney that day to let them know about the problem and within a few hours they had responded saying that they would replace the broken part. I sent them my trigger info and address. That was back at the begining of the month. Still haven't received anything or heard back from them. Other than the safety plate issue its a nice trigger.
  4. I see. Thanks for posting the pics to help me see the difference.
  5. So the trigger bow that the M98k is supposed to fit is smaller in size? I couldn't find any info on google about smaller trigger bows, but what is the standard size? My trigger guard came from a mixed lot of parts from ebay. The follower and floorplate release button both have waffenampts, but the guard itself does not. My trigger guard measures approximately 2 inches across on the inside.
  6. Thanks for all the recomendations, guys. I think I'll be going with the Timney featherweight delux. One quick question on the different model #'s for the FWD. They list FD M98FN #301 and FD M98K #302 on the Timney site. Which would be appropriate for my receiver (Santa barbara M98) and why? I read in the descriptions for the same product over on brownell's website that it has to do with the trigger guard?
  7. I've been gradually peicing together a mauser target rifle for years, I actually had z1r do the action work for me last year, and my stock is due in from McMillan in early september. So I ask you all, what trigger would you recomend for a seriouse paper puncher? Timneys look like they'd be OK, but I've started looking at Jard lately. Is there any noticable difference in performance between the two? I currently have an original parker hale trigger like this one: http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/images/ph_safety.jpg The way it mounts to the rifle worries me a little, using the action screw to pinch the tang of the trigger between the receiver and the stock. Since I am planning on pillar and glass bedding this rifle I would think that this trigger system would actually degrade the effect of the bedding considerably, and I can't think of a decent way to modify it to make it mount in a more conventional method. So I ask you all, what do you recomend? Other than Timney and Jard, are there any other alternatives that you would look into? I can't say that money is no object, but I plan on doing this thing right, so by all means, suggest away.
