I love my Mosin Nagant rifles. Like many M-N owners, I own several. And at less than $100 for a fine shooting surplus rifle, most Mosin owners start small collections.
One of the common complaints from Mosin Nagant shooters is that the triggers on most of the rifles is somewhere between kinda awful and flat-out awful. Considering I only paid $70 each for my M-n rifles, the triggers aren’t bad, but they are heavy and gritty. That’s about to change.
Timney Triggers introduced a trigger for the Mosin Nagant rifles. Quoting consumer demand as the driving force behind this product’s development, Timney is selling the triggers right now on their web site for $89.95.
The trigger pulls are adjustable between 1 1/2 and 4 pounds, and a three pound pull ships standard. Timney incorporated a trigger blocking side safety, heat treated components and an aluminum housing.
The cost of the Timney Trigger may be more than I paid for my surplus Mosins, but for a smooth, three pound trigger pull, I will easily part with my cash.

Nice! I’m building a scout rifle on an M44 and have the Huber Concepts trigger. It has a nice clean break. I may have to shell out for the Timney though since it is adjustable. Or maybe just buy another Mosin so I can use both.
Grab another Mosin (or five!) and compare the two triggers! I’ve got a M44 that I am thinking of doing into a scout rifle also. But, I’ve also thought about picking up another 91/30 to do a dedicated hunting rifle. Ah…decisions….
