MK II Military Rifle Trigger
Fit my M48 Yugo Mauser perfect, giving a very smooth light trigger pull. Minimal wood removal in the military stock, and no trigger guard metal removal, as I have had to do with another brand.

Dayton Traister trigger for Mauser 98
Excellent trigger for a 1942 G33/40 that I re-barreled to 257 Ackley with a 1953 FN barrel. Solved the trigger problem: crisp, no creep, but a bit too light at the factory setting for a hunting gun, so I’ll adjust it. This is at least the second Dayton Traister trigger I’ve installed - excellent product.
Fits well and easy to install
The trigger dropped right in and fit perfectly. The original Mauser safety functions perfectly. The trigger pull is crisp and feels nice. I will know more once I take it to the range, but so far, five stars.
Definitely Recommended
Installation is straigtforward following the simple rules on the spec sheet. Careful removal of the proper amount of wood under the trigger assembly is time consuming but once accomplished, the trigger affords a considerable improvement over the original military trigger. Factory setting of the break weight is just about right for a hunting rifle.
Yugo M48 installation
Great trigger once installed. Easy install on the receiver but the stock required inleting. Took about 1.5 hours of carefully removing elm stock material behind the original inlet. About 3/8 wide and as deep cut out back to 3/8" of rear receiver pillar. When first installed, I did not take enough material out and the bolt would bind on cocking when the receiver screws were tightened. Removed more material with the dremel. Trigger guard was fine but I opened the trigger hole slightly. Good pull with a hint of two stage, very crisp break. Well worth the effort.
Love it.
I chose the D-T over Timney because the Timney buckles up tight against the receiver and is hard to push the bolt over the sear. The D-T uses the spring as found in original Swedes so bolt slides over the sear smoothly, and flexes just like the original. Trigger is crisp. I wish they made this trigger with a safety like the Timney.
Very satisfied
Installed on a Yugo 24/47 with military stock and used a dremel to remove minor excess wood inside the stock for trigger clearance. Fits perfect.
1st Class Trigger
Used this trigger in a custom VZ-24 with a rebarreled with a new 8x57 barrel in a McMillan. Easiest Mauser trigger I've ever installed. Adjustments are easy and trigger breaks very clean and at consistent pull weight. I'd rank this trigger right up there with Timney for feel and function, also really like the steel construction.
Better than I thought it would be
I put this trigger on a Czech Brno mauser 98.It fit perfectly and didn't need any modification. I was able to eliminate creep and set the pull to a very low setting. I would estimate it to be around 1 lb. I am very surprised this trigger came out this well on this old mauser. This trigger is actually better after I adjusted it than the factory triggers on my modern rifles. I also bought and installed a Bold's on another mauser and I can't seem to get it as good as this one. I have bought a second Dayton Traister for another mauser 98 I am building.
THE BEST
Anyone with a 98 conversion should use this trigger. Simple, straightforward, and absolutely easy to install. In a vz-24 nothing could be better for a sporter conversion
