In small ring mausers, when trigger pulled, there is a locking feature to raise a 'dog" to engage in a slot on bolt to lock bolt from rotation. This feature is dropped in large ring 98 Muasers. Why is this feature needed in small ring mausers? I am building a sporterized small ring mauser and want to put an aftermarket trigger and they do not have such feature in their triggers. Is there any safety concern without such feature? I don't really mind the original trigger, but just want to take advantage of the side safety, so I can put a scope. The cost of BOLD Trigger is about the same as a low swing safety. Thanks.
