Double Set triggers for wheellock rifles

[johnswett]

I am in the process of preparing to build a 1600's Austrian style Wheellock rifle and have hit a sticking point. I need drawings or photo's of the internals of an original double-set trigger. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is a discussion about this very thing a while back here are some pics of the soultion. http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=33080.0

Go to facebook and join the wheelock and matchlock group hosted by Boleck and friends... lots of pictures and explanations.

Yep, that picture was from my post. I don't know if that particular solution is historically correct, but it works. If you click on that picture I think it will connect you to my photobucket page which has more pictures of the build and (I think) may have better pictures of the trigger fix. I agree with hooking up with Razpla (Bolek) who is a true wizard of the wheellock.

Awesome!!  I have drawings from a fine old book of double set triggers from crossbows.

The quality of those triggers looks to be self evident. First class from where I sit.
