Thread: American long rifle build

@vietnamcam there are a few different double set trigger styles
But mainly double set single phase and double set double phase

This rifle is the latter and this is a good explanation of how it works

A double set, double phase trigger can be operated as a standard trigger if the set trigger is not pulled, or as a set trigger by first pulling the set trigger. Double set, double phase triggers offer the versatility of both a standard trigger and a set trigger

The rear trigger is the set trigger and the front one is the firing trigger
Un set the trigger pull is 5 pounds with a little creep but is a good trigger for its type
Once the rear trigger is pulled to set the front trigger the pull is about 5 oz and there is an easy adjustment .
It can go as low as about 2 oz before it won't set

I haven't used double set triggers much but it's pretty obvious when you have a play with it.

The good thing with flintlocks is they are safe to dry fire and get the hang of it all
