I was curious if anyone has installed a double-set trigger in a Kibler Colonial. It looks like there should be enough room inside the standard trigger guard bow. Thanks ....

first off, does the lock have a fly??
Look here. Kibler Colonial Set Trigger Modification
I don't know; I don't have it yet. It comes with Kibler's round-faced English flintlock. I have Kibler's SMR with the Kentland lock and it does have a fly. I'll check out the link @Dave Marsh posted above. Kibler does not sell a double-set trigger to use with the Colonial. Already checked with them by email.
Ahhh.. just checked the link and the answer is yes, it has a fly.

I enquired about doing that with the woods runner, Jim suggested a single set trigger would probably a better option. I assume the colonial is similar.

They will fit in a colonial, but not the woodsrunner.
Here's one the Mike did. It takes a small filler on each side of the single trigger plate inlet. The single trigger plate is wider than the set trigger plate.
Thanks. I think that's something I can actually handle.

A double trigger on the Colonial is a sure sign of demonic intervention.

Negative Forrest! I have neither the skill nor attention span required to perpetuate wickedness. I am merely an amateur philosopher, warning others of the incorrect path.Evil is as evil does.
You can install a Davis #4 in the Kibler Colonial. A friend of mine installed one in my Colonial and I like it a lot better. My friend thinks he can install one in my Woodsrunner. He took measurements and thinks he can install one in the Woodsrunner. I hope so because I like set triggers better than simple triggers.
I would love one for my Woodsrunner.
The Davis #4 is the one I used, biggest problem is the trigger guard, you might have to do a little bending to get it the way you want and then some filling in the opening that the gun comes with. I know your work, YOU can do it!
Yeah, I have the Davis #4 on my Verner rifle. It’s just too big for the Woodsrunner. Maybe I should start a new thread on this rather than hijacking the thread. It’s a good subject.The Davis #4 is the one I used, biggest problem is the trigger guard, you might have to do a little bending to get it the way you want and then some filling in the opening that the gun comes with.

Yeah, might be a good idea, seems like guys are interested in doing it, especially on the Woods runner, mine works pretty good on my colonial. I got the idea after shooting my SMR and seeing how fast it was and then Mike's rifle showing it.
You did a good job on your install. That trigger bow is roomy
Thanks, a little bit of cursing can go a long ways!
