Demand is the reason for the set trigger. A lot of people are used to the set trigger. I have this one set up to go into any lock position without setting the trigger.
Buckridge Flintlocks sells the trigger. The trigger is called the Cain trigger. I have installed 5 of these. It’s a 4 hour job. Shipping both ways could get pricey. Any gunmaker with experience can do the work. The lock is Kibler’s work.
You read that right! This one has a set trigger. The rifle will cock in any trigger position. The trigger is a $100.00 upgrade and only installed by a qualified gunsmith. The rifle has a better than base grade of curly maple. Certainly not the extra fancy grade. It shows strong figure until just...
New off the bench. This one has the standard grade of maple. 44” barrel. I’ve only shot it twice and that was for test purposes only. The metal was treated flat gray with Brownells formula 4440. $1475.00 shipped conus.
No marksmanship, very little respect to the weapon or its place in our history. I quit watching this stuff because it is sensational garbage. These are firearms and should be treated with respect and great care with ultimate safety in mind and not for seeking what whacky stunt that I can come up...
Nice job. Keep asking questions and trying new things. This kit got you started now try something new! Maybe another one but with some carving and decoration.
If you’re using the Chambers White Lighting touch hole liner simply install as directed and run a 1/16 bit through the hole and you’re done. Easy peasy. It’s coned enough on the inside to be both safe and fast.

That Haddaway is a fabulous lock. Fast and reliable. That lock was a Cadillac in its day. It got panned by a well known member of the community who gets lots of attention here lately.
I’m not going to diss the Davis lock but if you want a hot-rod lock the Chambers, Kibler, or Rice locks are comparable in performance. Each has its pluses and minuses. The remaining factors are personal preference and of course price.
