Yes there were several makers of aluminium triggerguards.

The most interesting was made by W. Roell(during the wartime CEO of the commercial production line in Oberndorf).

Short after WW2 until 1960 he made an exact copy of the original Oberndorf commercial Mauser but it was made of alum. Only the bottom was of steel.

Hope the picture will be seen.



from top to bottom:

Roell,Original Oberndorf,Argentine

That triggerguard fits the standard length 98 and reduces the weight considerably.

Swiss Cheesing a steel (even in excess )will never come to that weight.

Have one. Donīt know if I need that part.

Weight: Argentine 240 gramms

Roell: 180 gramms

Main Key to a lightweight rifle is barrelcontour(and length) and stock (profile).
Overworking a large ring action is a lot of work for nearly nothing.
A smallring action looks lighter , but the weight difference is not worth mending , but the stocks for those actions can be made more slender.
