Greetings all,
I finally got ambitious and decided to try my hand at building. I’ve accumulated a 36” green mountain barrel (straight) in .45 cal, a large siler lock, and a doubleset trigger. I’m going to stock it in cherry and acquire the rest of the furniture as I go. I apologize in advance as this is going to be far from PC/HC and I know that I’m going to have a lot of questions. I have read “The Art of Building the American Longrifle” and have poured over Mike Brooks’ tutorial. I breached the barrel without any problem. The issue that I’m having is locating my double set trigger both front to back and vertically with regards to where it will engage the sear. How far below the sear should the trigger bars sit when they are set and should the sear be set centered in the V between the bars or forward/back. Hopefully pictures to follow as the build progresses. Thanks in advance for any help and I’ll try not to pester to much.
