Simple, Single, Triggers

[Hoyt]

Does one stand out above the rest, or are they pretty much equal?
Anybody got a favorite?
I'm trying to decide on which one for a Berks Co. Henry Mauger rifle.
Thanks for all advice.

I make my own. Every lock/barrel/stock situation is a little different and may call for a different trigger "blade" height, etc. The last thing I want is a trigger dictating architecture- so forming my own seems the best bet.

If you did not want to make your own from scratch (Rich is way ahead of most of us in experience,and I have a sneaking suspicion that he makes his own screws),you could purchase the Davis assembled "Bivins" single trigger from TOTW.

The plate is plently long, easily formed and filed, the action is smooth and precise (muzzleloading standards), and the shape is pleasing.

There is enough meat to "customize" it a tad, and the size is right for a huge range of triggerguards. It will look fine in a pistol triggerguard, and with a rifle.

The pivot is low, so you don't have to chew a bunch of wood out in the wrist.

You can also purchase a host of other triggers that will fit perfectly into the plate, and some have a ton of metal that can be shaped anyway you please.
I was happy with it.

If this is the case then our opinions should not even be requested. You need to stick with the triggers that are prevelant in that school of construction. What is visible should say "Berks County". Above the wood-line simply concentrate on good geometry for proper functioning.

Get one of from Jim Chambers.

Thanks for the replies..I'm going to check into all of the mentioned triggers. I don't see any single non-set triggers on Chamber's site..will ask when ordering lock.

Sent you a pt. :thumbsup:

 

Hoyt, if you go to the order page on their web site, and scroll down to the section on the right titled "INDIVIDUAL RIFLE PARTS", you will see a Single Trigger listed there for $6.00. Great trigger... no plate (can be purchased separately), pins into the stock, I love it.

Be sure to have him send you his instructions on how to place it for good trigger pull. If you follow them, you'll have a nice light trigger with no play. You'll never look back.

:thumbsup:

I prefer to make my own simple trigger and plate. All of the rifles trhat I have built (which aren't that many) had set triggers. I have used set triggers for the past 8 years and found that I have set off quite a few rounds off down range,some on the paper and some in the woods because of a lack of sensitvity of my trigger finger. The damn thing doesn't know if its on the trigger(I don't put my finger in the trigger bow until I'm on the line and ready to shoot).....Well I just wanted to say I prefer a good simple trigger when it's set up right. ..........George F.
