Hello sparks,

I had for 5 years (and made a mistake selling it...)a beautiful M-Sch GK 7x46 with double triggers. Made in 1964. The last version of the M-Sch with the tang safety. It came with a Hensoldt Diavari 1,5-6x36 mounted in a lateral mount marked Gastinne-Renette. As good as the rifle and scopes, indeed!
The thing is I managed to find in the web a compleat single trigger and the corresponding plate. Starting in 1952 the M-Sch came with an interchangeable trigger sistem. So it can be used a double or a single trigger sistems. But, the single trigger plate, interchangeable with the double trigger mounted plate, has a gap in front of the trigger, gap that do permit to move the trigger forward, releasing the cocking piece and firing the gun! The 1950 M-Sch had the original, military origin, single trigger and trigger guard, where the front of the trigger has contact with the trigger guard, making impossible to move the trigger forward. The solution is as simple as to put a small steel piece filling that gap in the interchangeable trigger plate. The same situation is present in a Mauser M98 with a modified military double stage trigger to single stage, with certaing modifications. If the first stage is removed with a pin or a piece of steel from the front of the trigger, no problem because that safety measure is maintained. But if the first stage is removed in the trigger itself, the gap in front must be filled to keep the safety of the sistem.

Good luck!
