Timney trigger for Mosin

Stopped by the Timney shop yesterday to get a new Mosin trigger. They wouldn't have any ready until today. Has anyone tried these yet?

Haven't tried one yet but looking forward to getting one. From what I've heard you will need to do some inletting to fit the new trigger group.

I have heard on other boards that it is alot of inletting. Most collectors rather not do any inletting of the prized collectable.

I would suggest a roller ball adjustable trigger that just replaces the original trigger.

I helped my son install his, it took a lot more removal than they advertised, the safety is a better safety but it is not quite "there" yet...but I believe after I tuned it up and got it to were no material was interrupting the housing, I just worked the safety until it made its own safe place instead of removing more than I needed I got it real close until I still felt feed back in the safety then I just worked the safety back and forth until it got easy...
NOT A DROP IN! but after I got it together my grandson could pull the trigger and he seems to be about a 2.5 pound limit compared to my other guns..
now has is that for a rudamentary pull scale?

I do recommend it for at least your main shooter speaking of Mosins anyway, I will only put it on one the rest will eventually be updated to the roller ball...no one has a safety like the Timney though!

What do those triggers give you over the original one?? the triggers in both my 44 and 38 feel just great to me and in my eyes I see no way to ever change them, just my .02's worth and I do shoot both my Mosin's quite a bit, thanks.

With Timney you can custom order your pull weight down to like a pound, which affect accuracy it is also much smoother pull.
If you are trying to make those groups shrink and 8 pound pull is not optimal...most military guns were not necessarily engineered with optimal accuracy in mind so they engineered the trigger pull to avg what the gun weighs to avoid accidental fires.
The Timney also has a very usabel safety that is included in the group, it is just a thumb click...which if you use a safety during hunting I don't recommend the Mosin original safety at all...not because its not safe once you put it on safe ..but because you just about have an accidental fire just putting the silly thing on.

I would like to see a real proof of ANYBODY "custom order your pull weight down to like a pound".
I would also like to see "you just about have an accidental fire just putting the silly thing on."
There is a certain level of tolerance to sales people BS. When it's a pure BS, I call it this way.

Yes the safety is something to not be desired for sure, so I keep an empty chamber rather than use the safety that is on the rifle and having to say your sorry to your buddy about releasing the safety after blowing his toes off if it slips out, how about those ring ones you see installed, are they any good, can someone comment or have some info on those, cause as you now that safety has a lot of stored energy in her!!
LMK, thanks

The reason I say like a pound is because you may have other issues preventing your trigger being at or near that..
I can only speak for what I installed on my sons, and I can tell you this there is a huge difference..
I am not knocking the Mosin as a whole but we must be honest with ourselves ..when you have a round chambered and you pull back on a slippery little bolt with lots of spring pressure on it with a gun that you have to have the receivers screws in at just the right torque or you can get issues...I just don't think you are safe with that safety,..my guess most people including myself don't use it ...I will just open the bolt and extract if I want my Mosin to be safe.
My little grandson can pull my son's trigger now with ease, he can't begin to pull the rest of mine.
I see the difference and I respect why you would not want to afford it or take the leap, but it is a good trigger and really a hundred bucks in the gunworld is not exactly gunsnobbery.
Chill man

I agree, kinda seems counter intuitive to pull back on a round with all that spring tension..
it is what it is...

With this in mind spending $100 on a $100 rifle for a better trigger safety, and then doing all the fitting to get the new part in. Why not just a buy a rifle with a better safety to start with?

I have a pull ring safety and a roller ball adjustable trigger on my Mosin. Works great.

I like the term gun nut. My wife used to alway asks "how many of those things do you really need" my answer is always the say. "YES" she stopped asking. I cant wait until I get back to the States and can handle and shoot all my "boomer", "popers", "snappers" and my "what the h+ll was that?" again. Right now I am getting everything in order for when I get back so I can have some fun.

Gun nut works too! we just gotta be careful when we say it out to loud then they think if we are too nutty then we need to be without ...
I find that lately its not just the guns but the gun community too......
