Trigger Loop Narrowing
This isn't a "How To" article, but rather just an example of a nice
"touch" to a Sporterized Mauser.
The Mauser
trigger loop seems overly wide and clumsy, and characteristic of many military
rifles. If metal is removed, equally, from both sides of the loop, a cleaner,
neater appearance is obtained.
Here is the unmodified loop on
the left and the narrowed loop on the right. I just removed 0.100-inches from
each side. I used a mill and 0.100 is one full turn of the handle J .
It looks like something less than 1/8-inch from each side would do.
Annother view. I have rounded the loop where it
joins the strap, but prefer the "square" look shown. It's a matter of
personal taste. The metal can be removed with a Dremel
tool or a file/hacksaw just as well.
Annother pic.
