Trigger question

[87TT]

I posted this in my other thread but am posting it here too in hopes of some enlightenment. Thanks guys.
OK, the barrel is in the stock with the tang inlet and underlugs pinned. I'm in the process of working on the lock mortice. I do have to do some shimming under the lock as the stock was inlet too deep, but I knew that going in but got a discount on a good piece of wood. I started looking at the trigger which has to be finish inlet into the stock and it appears that the base will need to be cut down shorter. The trigger is a Davis #4 double set. My question for the Gurus here is, where does the sear position over the trigger? I can't find anything online and the book I have explains it but I am just not sure. I have taken some pictures and drawn in where I think the sear needs to go. Am I correct? I don't want to start cutting it in if until I'm sure it is in the right spot. Thanks for your help and inspiration.

On the last picture, I'm holding the rear trigger with my thumb so it is at the highest point. At rest, the sear would not be in contact with anything.

Center the sear directly over the engagement screw on your sett triggers. Should allow you to use either front or rear trigger.

Thanks, I assume just above the rear trigger bar when at rest so it only contacts the sear when it springs up? Where the red dot is?

Here is a link to the instructions that TOTW printed in their catalog and still available as pdf online for installing double set triggers.

The red dot in your pictures directly above is correct in the lateral or front and back direction, but may be a little too high. You want the sear bar to be at the relaxed or non-tension point for the rear trigger.

I'm not familiar with your particular set of triggers. The trigger levers seem unusually tall to me. You called them "Davis #4 double set", but I don't quite see anything on Davis' website that matches your triggers. Be that as it may, you probably want to carefully lay out the parts on your stock and see how much you might have to grind off of the top of the levers.

Never thought about taking the levers down some but that may have be done. I don't know why not. I already figured out that the base was going to have to be trimmed down.
The R.E. Davis website calls it the ":small ooo4 model knife trigger"

From Pecatonica's site

Thanks for your help. I am going to check and double check before I cut the mortise out for them.

Thanks to you and Track of the wolf's PDF, I was able to get the trigger in and working. I did have to grind off a good deal of the triggers. The one thing I missed and may have already messed up before I started, was the Lock. I missed the part where you shouldn't dry fire the set triggers on half ****. I somehow have damaged the end of the sear where it contacts the fly. I have a new one on order. In all fairness, I may have damaged it putting the fly in upside down and back a few times because I didn't see which way it came out.
