If you look close...you can see the trigger adjustment screw....
You will want to pay attention to it....'cause folks love to turn it when you show them your rifle...

Same with mine....I always double check the set screw before a shooting session or hunting ...I've found it set way too light once...never again...thank you very much...

Please note that I am not saying that set triggers are unsafe...Just gotta know 'em..and understand how they work.

Since our esteemed Moderator has graciously given a twinkling green light for a mild diversion in this thread...

Here's Mannlicher-Schoenauer's version of same. @Andy54Hawken would know right where to look for the set adjustment.

You don't…

Why close a post that may bear some fruit if a Mauser expert comes around?

"Spatulated" bolt handle. A useful word I learned while researching a Jeffery-built gun complete with full stock, and produced two years BEFORE the Mannlicher firm ever cranked out a sporting rifle.

Feel free to use it. It (briefly) establishes the illusion that one is quite knowledgeable. Kinda like the idiots who persist in correcting anyone who uses "clip"/"magazine" interchangeably (as multiple manufacturers have done for decades).

A fleetingly warm, pleasant sensation like pissing one's pants.

Do these "set triggers" have to be used as a two trigger system, or can they be fired by one trigger alone?

This may have been a G.I. breing back, or Euro import, due to the very Eunro nature of the gun and mods. Is the barrel marked 300 Savage or is that what chambers?
