Mauser trigger disassembly question

New voere imperial model 2165. Cosmoline or something, really grimey. Wanting to disassemble and clean. It has safety level on right side of trigger assembly. Has a pin with half inch disk holding lever to trigger housing, the ? On opposite side the pivot pin protrudes .there is a small disk, a washer l guess and it appears the end of the pin that goes through the trigger housing is peened like a rivet . Is this correct? The only picture I could find of this particular trigger is on a Santa Barbara mauser. Thank you for any information about this.
 
Give a pic of yours, Mauser has one pin that goes through a boss that protrudes from the bottom of the receiver, Most non Military triggers for Mauser's have a tension screw at the front of the trigger that will bottom out against the bottom of the receiver to force the trigger to hold itself tight up against the bottom of rec.

Your rifle is a Mauser 98 Variant.

Is this the trigger it has? Look at the front bottom of trigger to see if there is a set screw that you can loosen. This trigger looks like it is possibly a Kepplinger single set trigger.

If it is like the other Santa Barbara triggers I've worked on, I have not been able to remove that part of the safety.
It is riveted together.
A bath in an ultrasonic cleaner did a good enough job of cleaning, compressed air finished the job.
Thank you. I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I'm surprised it is riveted on.
