Just nowhere as good a trigger as the timney

Greetings Csmiffy,
The flaw with the military triggers is that half the trigger group is attached to the receiver and half on the bolt rather than all in one box as with commercial triggers. Mauser bolts are a loose fit and the first stage is used to take up the slack. If that stage is removed it removes an important part of the safety system. We used to modify military triggers decades back when there were few other options. There are plenty of options now. I have heard enough stories of rifles going bang when they were not supposed to to sour me on fiddling with military triggers.
Regards Grandpamac.
