re: Customer Mauser 98 info -- Update page 3

Yea I see the safety on there. That's probably the same style timney trigger that I have on my rifle, but with a 2lb pull it might be the target trigger.

Either way, there is a set screw on that trigger that HAS to have loc-tite on it to prevent accidental discharge when using the safety. It holds the trigger assembly tight against the action of the rifle and if it backs out, the whole assembly becomes loose and you can actually drop the sear enough to let the bolt fly by just pushing down on the safety.

It's an extremely safe design IF AND ONLY IF that screw is kept tight. Mine didn't have loc-tite on it, and while it took something like 15 years for it to work it's way loose, I had an accidental discharge because of it. I now check that screw at the beginning of each hunting season.
