I have a semi-sporterized M38 and I want to replace the trigger. I see listings for M94s and 96s, but there is no mention of the M38. Is there a difference between them? I don't want to order something that doesn't work.

Timney Trigger for M96 should suit you just fine...........................M38 is a shortened "calvary" version.

PS - They work GREAT...................

The Dayton trigger is better when using the standard wood stock. Both the Dayton and Timney require removal of some wood but the Timney requires a bit more work on the triggerguard as well.

The mechanics are identical for the m/94, m/38 & m/96. There is no "cavalry" version of the m/38. That is rooted in some advertising hype.

I did a post somewhere in this forum on installing a Dayton trigger. I think I have 3 rifles with the Dayton.

I put a Timney in mine years ago. I had to open the trigger hole in the triggerguard slightly to allow free travel of the trigger. A swiss file was required. BvT

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that I want a trigger with a safety so I'm aware that it won't be a drop in fit. The stock trigger on this rifle isn't too bad but it's too hard to work the Mauser safety under the scope. Also, I do have the original stock but right now the gun sits in a cheap synthetic.

"A swiss file was required."

I used a Chinese-made Swiss file to install an American trigger in a Swedish rifle.

Look at the Bold triggers; I dropped one into an M98 sporter with no stock inletting (IIRC), and it's a sweet trigger.

I would think that would at the very least give you a rash... :kidding:

Indeed it does cause unusual medical conditions.......... to avoid complications one must fabricate a tri-corner hat out of aluminum foil and wear it at all times when coming within 36" of this nasty combination............... :shock:

Have you tried Huber concepts?

I need a trigger-safety setup. I don't see that Huber offers one.

Boyd's has some triggers for both small ring (95/96) and larger ring (98) Mausers, w/ and w/o side safety. I intend to get one for my 96 with a side safety.

Been sporterizing a Swede (in progress for 20 yrs!) as a back up for myself, but it seems my teenager feel in love w/ it first time he picked it up! He has killed two deer with my Win M70 Swede, and both dropped in their tracks. He LOVES the 6.5x55!!!
