Guys,
I'm pretty well versed on working with my own rifles, especially Garands. While I'm not new to them I just don't work with my Mausers as much.
Just recently picked up a couple "new to me" milsurps... a 24-47 Yugo and a VZ-24 Czech. Both are nice rifles, the Czech especially has a smooth action. The problem is that it has a really nasty trigger. Lots of second stage creep and really heavy, I'm guessing around 8 lbs. The other Yugo's and even the Turk I have are better than this, by far.
I'm able to look at the geometry of the Mauser trigger and take educated guesses on how to lighten up the pull and shorten the creep, but I'd really like to get "the word" from guys who've worked on them before before I dig in and go to work on it.
Main Question: Are there any online sources for info on how to work over a Mauser trigger???
Any help would be much appreciated.
BTW, while I'm not an armorer, I've successfully worked on triggers for Ruger rifles & pistols, Mossberg 22's, and M1 Garands.
Best regards to all,
Swampy
