There is nothing after market that will just "drop-in".
You can get the double triggers and the trigger guard, but knew inletting is/will be required.

I love the double set consept. Not set its a long heavy pull. Good for hunting with cold fingers and surprise shots. But set you get a target type hair trigger. Great for shooting from the bench or a long range precision shot.
I'd get a good double set trigger. : )

Not a drop in for the Trade rifle but I just installed the Davis Deerslayer set trigger in my GPR vast improvement over the original trigger. You could probably inlet this trigger and a double trigger guard with just a little work.
Good point by Twister, That Deer Slayer is a sweet trigger.
The deal is you should try that one or a double trigger from an Investarms, Lyman, Cabelas model as well as the TG from the same models.
They are all nearly 1/2" wide like the trigger you have.
A single set trigger will be hard to find for that wide an existing mortise, and unless your use too a single set, they have a funny "bounce" when they're used that takes some getting adjusted too.

Before you make an investment in any set triggers be sure that your lock is equipped with a fly.

A while back I had my eye on a Trade Rifle. I was also looking into single set triggers.
RE Davis makes one for under $40:

This trigger is 3/8" wide, and it's a simple matter to glue in light shim wood (or even brass would look nice for either in-the-white or blued trigger body).
It would make a lot more sense than using the longer double set design and having to install a longer trigger guard. More work and from what I can tell would look awkward.
