many guns were also rechambered to different things if ammo or brass was hard to get, such as the 8mm/06 used in 8mm Mauser chambered guns. A cerrosafe chamber cast should probably be done. The / often has info on older surplus guns of all sorts that you can search, or post about, or they may be able to steer you in the right direction.Īs for spilitting cases, are you totally positive it had the correct ammo fired in it? There were many unique chamberings used by various countries, and the guns generally were NOT marked as to caliber/chambering from the factory, or may have vague info. Looking at pics on Numrich gun parts site may also help. Checking yours against pictures of original parts may be helpful in figuring it out. Most older bolt action military rifles had two stage trigger pulls, doing away with that was not unusual, and was done in several ways that I recall. It may have had the trigger or springs tinkered with in an attempt to improve the trigger pull, and may have been done in a way that doesnt allow proper function. Id look for a schematic of it in original form and see if yours varies from that, then start checking individual parts to see if theyve been modified, like springs shortened. The earlier Mausers were different in several ways than the 98s, Does the info on the Timney say it works on a 91?

Brownell's has Timney triggers for this rifle for ~$60, so I'm tempted to go that route. Would anyone care to offer an opinion if this problem can be fixed by replacing an old spring or perhaps buying a new trigger. (I can seem to make that happen a second time though.) I have zero knowledge about bolt action rifle triggers. I'm not comfortable having a gun that will allow the trigger to remain partially depressed, especially since the striker released when I moved the safety lever after one partial trigger pull. However when slowly dry firing the rifle tonight, I noticed that the trigger does not return to the forward position if I stop a trigger pull before the striker releases. Anyway, I thought I would be finished today when I picked the rifle up from having a low mount safety installed on it. I've taken to getting the gun back in working order which has taken more time and money than I expected.

Before I was born, the rifle started splitting brass, so he shoved it in the back of the closet and left it there, until I got it out recently.

My dad has an 1891 Argentine Mauser that he bought when he was in high school and tastefully sporterized a few years later. If anyone has much experience with old Mausers, I'd very much appreciate an opinion on something.
