I've just fitted the trigger on my Chambers York, with its Siler lock. I've got what seems a really good fit at half cock and half cock - at half cock there's a very small amount of play in the trigger, and at full cock the sear is only just above the trigger bar, so it seems ideal. The lock works beautifully. BUT with the hammer sprung forward to rest position the sear is very slightly down from the two cocked positions, so presses slightly against the trigger bar (ie, when I fit the lock into the mortise in the rest position, there's a slight amount of resistance as the sear pushes on the trigger).
I'm just wondering whether this fit in the rest position will result in any long-term problems, from the slight amount of pressure on the sear. I can't imagine it, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm really reluctant to to file the trigger any more just to get the sear clear in the rest position, as that will just give more play in the cocked positions, which I don't want or need. Also I don't want to mess with the tumbler to try to get a better alignment of the three sear positions, as I think the differences are marginal and I probably wouldn't improve it. I'm probably worrying unnecessarily about this, but any advice appreciated - I've never fitted a trigger before!
