I need a new trigger, I have done all the buba fixes with pretty good success, but I am ready to step up to a "real" quality trigger. I have no problem with the timney triggers, but are there any alternatives for the nagant? just something else to look at?
 
Other than trying to locate a Finn assembly (which is better than Soviet/Russian, but still not the best), the only game in town-and it's a good one- is the Timney. Well worth the $100 if the rifle/ammo and the shooter are capable of realizing the improvement.

Every Timney retailer sells them.
 
the gun in question is a finn, but the trigger isn't as good as you think it would be. the more I research, timney seems to be the only one making aftermarkets for it, which is fine. I will just go with timney, I was just wonring if any other company made one to have a comparison.
 
Huber Concepts also offers a replacement trigger. I have no first hand experience out of either, but have had a few customers who've dropped in one or the other and liked them.

Frankly, to each their own, but working on a Mosin is like trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Good guns for what they are, but I never saw much sense in doing much to them. The several I've owned have all stayed stock.
 
The Huber trigger works quite well. I have one in my 91/30 and I had the good fortune to have Mr. Huber himself install it in my rifle. That one mod will be well worth it and does not require any irreversible changes to your rifle. With proper shimming and a Huber trigger the MN can be a very accurate gun. My rifle is a 1943 refurb and if I told you how accurate my 91/30 is you wouldn't believe me. Sometimes you CAN turn a sow'a ear into a silk purse:)
 
I have a 5 min video about Mosin Nagant triggers with 17,000 views.

To save 5 minutes of listening to some old engineer while he measures trigger pull and measures force and displacement...

1) The Timney is best
2) Bending the sear is next.
3) polishing parts is a waste of time
4) Huber trigger is a waste of time and money

I made a stress vs strain curve for the sear

I made a diagram of how to adjust the Timney trigger

I made a drawing of how to pillar bed and get clearance for the Timney trigger
 
I bought a timney and the darned thing wouldn't catch the bolt, it always shut in the uncocked position. thing it just laying around somewhere now. royal pain to be honest. I don't know of any others that aren't just polished milsurp triggers.
 
I disagree about above poster's opinion on the Huber trigger. While I have no experience with the Timney product I have bent the spring and polished the sears on 2 of my MN that do not have the Huber trigger and this has made a substantial improvement. Are they like a Winchester Mod 70? Of course not. But they are better. YMMV
 
Clark,
I noticed in your blueprint above that you don't use the original action screw in the rear, and add a washer in the front?

What is your reasoning behind changing the rear action screw (other than the crazy metric thread pitch) -milling/drilling a 1/4-32 nut into the bottom metal, and how do you secure it?

Without measuring, I'm pretty sure the 3/8" washer you show added at the front action screw also requires modification to the magazine. Why?
