For some time I have owned a couple of Interarms and Whitworth 98 variations. Never paid much attention to them and set them aside as 'project guns'.
Well, a couple of months ago I pulled one out of the safe and began to 'play' with it and make some upgrades. Added a 3-position safety, first. Then I decided to lose the factory trigger with its horrendously long pull and install a Timney. It's about this time when things started to go astray. Seems the Timney trigger I have will not work with a notched cocking piece. Works fine on the flat-bottomed, commercial cocking piece that I have in another Interarms.
This brings me to my questions:
1) Is there a source for the flat-bottom cocking pieces?
2) Do I have the wrong Timney for my application and the notched cocking piece? The Timney I have is the #201, described as "M98FN" Do I need the #202, described as "M98K"?
I would suggest you do have the wrong Timney trigger assembly. I installed a M98K model on my Oberndorf Mauser sporter without any issues or alterations needed other than a tiny relieving of wood in the stock. This fine trigger breaks like glass and has given years of trouble free service.
