Trigger Pull on a Mauser

Auggy
I've got an 1895 7mm Mauser that's got an awful creep on the trigger. I have to pull back quite a ways to get at the point where I can release the mechanism. Is there a way for me to adjust this?

    May i suggest buying a timney trigger? http://www.timneytriggers.com 30-40 bucks online. they are fully adjustable and are great folks to deal with. i have [ use to have anyway ]an article somewhere on how to rework the factory trigger but it is precise work.

    Timiny is a really good answer, but if the pocketbook is low and you don't mind welding and grinding then you can convert the stock two stage trigger to a single stage. Pull your barreled action out of the wood and cock the bolt. When you pull the trigger inspect the mechanism and you will see how the trigger compounds with the sear. If you weld a blob of steel onto the front face of the trigger and then file or grind it back you can eliminate most if not all creep. The overall weight of the pull is set by the spring. Replace it or cut it down and the pull will be lightened. Warning!!! modifing a trigger will open all sorts of liability issues and by buying a $30 Timiny you can save yourself all sorts of grief. Any conversion to the trigger will never be anywhere as good as the Timiny.....

    Auggie,

    While Timney may be an alternative, here is one that works quite well and still maintains the overall appearance of the original rifles.

    The very best replacement trigger is the Kepplinger which is available from Brownells. But be prepared to pay the price for the best. I use these in most cases because there is no second guessing as to the quality or function. They are superb for hunting rifles where you want the option of a set trigger.

    Brownells also carries a double set trigger group that works great and gives the look of the European style hunting rifles as well. These take some fitting and the experience to do so. I would suggest a good gunsmith for the first installation.

    Best of luck! (and welcome!)
