    Timney Trigger for Yugo M48...

    So I have a Timney Sportsman trigger for my M48 but I'm a bit hesitant to install it when I look at how much wood I'm going to have to remove from the stock. Can anyone verify that removing that much wood from the stock will not be detrimental to the structural integrity of the stock?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Unfortunately no. The trigger came in right before I left for deployment, so I only had enough time to figure out it would take a significant amount of wood removal. Whether it would be too much to maintain structural integrity I don't know. I won't be able to do much until I get home next year, but I've been thinking about it, so I thought I'd ask.

    As for the Timney on a battle rifle... Normally I would agree, but the trigger is horrendous. It is literally the heaviest trigger pull I have ever felt.

    I'll bet you could have improved the existing trigger pull with some judicious stoning of mating parts. That is, the surfaces that move against each other. That's what is normally done...a smooth stone... It doesn't take much.
    Regards, Jim
