What set triggers will work in that gun ? Also set triggers probably will help but if the lock is not right not sure how much it will help ?
Thanks !

This is the one I used

since mine only pulled 4 pounds before the double set triggers I can not say that they would trip a 6 # pull.

big boar is a single trigger not a double. i don't think that a double set will work .

In order to modify it I had to change to a different trigger guard and inletting. you also need to get the position and height correct. I have built Hawken rifles from a plank and parts so I did not find it any problem.

Check out Dixon's Muzzleloading. If they won't do the work, which I'm sure they will, they'll at least steer you to the best place to have it done.

PLEASE!! Let's not start beating that drum again! As far as I'm concerned it could be asked in multiple forums, including the gunsmithing forum.

well i ended up doing it myself took it apart again today did a little more tuning on it with the stone and some polishing compound. interesting thing i put it back together with just some rem-oil and checked trigger pull and even though it felt smoother it felt heavier so i checked with trigger gauge and it was about 5-1/2 average so took it apart and used some s.s. slide lube/grease i had and checked it again and it came down to 3-3/4 ,4-1/4 i was surprised by the difference! it also felt much smoother and lighter better! any thoughts on the grease versus lube deal ?

Grease is probably ok where you live. In cold weather it might stiffen up.

how about graphite? but you would have to degrease the lock first. Otherwise you would have a mess.

muzzlestuffer,

I don't think the grease you used will be a problem in the cold. If you want to find out, put your lock in your freezer for awhile then take it out and check it. It's not like you used wheel bearing grease...
