Trigger problem on Lyman Great Plains .54 Cal.

[Forrest Smith]

I acquired an older Lyman "Great Plains" .54 Cal "Kit" rifle. The double set triggers only worked, when the "set trigger" is set/engaged and then the front trigger pulled. Using it as a single trigger only, the trigger will not release and thus not let the hammer fall. Has anyone else run into that problem? (When it arrived, it did not have a set screw for the double set trigger arrangement. I located a set screw and put it in.)

Did the former owner remove metal from the top of the forward trigger?

That I do not know, I will have to pull it out and check. But not having another one to compare to, I might not be able recognize if he had or not. I will take photos over the weekend and post it for everyone to look at it.
