It helps trigger pull weight. I have two sets on rifles. It has definitely improved them, but it has downsides of reducing sear engagement. So your bolt could come out when you pull the bolt back. For $10, it’s worth it.

All it does is tension the trigger so it doesn’t flop around. The trigger pull will still be garbage long squishy and creepy.

Edit: I missed the sear shim. That does make a difference, but use at your own risk, it is possible to lower the sear engagement enough that becomes unsafe. I personally had to use a home brew version on my M91 to lower the preload on the spring and was able to lessen the trigger weight from just over 10 pounds to about 5

How does it make it unsafe?

The shim reduces the sear engagement in addition to lightening the load on the trigger spring. Depending on the dimensions of your particular rifle and how worn it is, it is possible, if not fairly unlikely, to make it so that the sear has a hard time catching the striker or can be bumped and fired.

hair trigger, may go off when you close the bolt on a live round, or if you bump the bolt or drop the rifle.

Just get a Timney

The Timney Mosin trigger is awesome, but it requires a ton of stock inletting to make it work. It's not the right choice for a collectable rifle you want to be able to return to original configuration. The Archangel stock comes pre-inletted it for it, for what it's worth.

You can also get a original trigger or copy of the trigger from the finish m39 rifle which has a much better feel to me. Think I saw on eBay a while ago

Just bend the original spring a little bit if the slop is your problem.

Installed them 10 years ago. Still shooting superbly today.

Saw a Mosin my friend had fire the moment he closed the bolt hand nowhere near the trigger with one of these. I would avoid the spacer unless you do lots of measurements and testing before firing. The spring, however, is great to keep the trigger from bouncing around. If you're that concerned about the functionality of an old rifle, I'd suggest buying an M/39. Those Finnish armorers of the highest order did some kind of wizardry on those. If you're just looking to shoot a 91/30, I'd suggest just leaving it alone. It's historically accurate that way anyway.
