Does anyone have a picture of the new Rice double set triggers?

I'm not seeing any pictures when I search.  How did you hear they were making them?  There is no mention of triggers on their website.

I bought a set of those triggers at the last CLA show. They are real slick. I can try and post a picture later, if anyone is interested.

I bought some of the triggers Liston Rice had for sale at the CLA in Augusr. My understanding is that they were assembled from existing castings not new recently designed triggers. I loaned Liston three single set triggers and based on these triggers he designed a single set that fires set or unset. He was perfecting this trigger and having parts cast when we last talked. Liston is also deveoping at least one trigger that will be more of a Virginia style double set double phase triggger.I'm not sure how close he is to putting these triggers on the market. Now to talk to him about a decent set of double set Tennessee triggers.😊

It was mentioned in the latest copy of American Traditions the CLA magazine.  There is an article about Rice barrels and the relationship between Jason and Liston.  I sent Jason an e-mail asking about it.  He said he was going to be offering double set triggers in the $50.00
range.  They are to be on the web-site when he has them ready for mass sale.

I suspect but don't know, that they will be similiar to the ones LC and Liston Rice made years ago. At the CLA show year before last, Liston had 4 or 5 double set triggers that he said he found left over from when they used to make and sell them. I thought they were really nice triggers, a little smaller than I would have preferred but very nicely made. I think at least one or two were purchased by an ALR member. I am glad to hear that Jason will be offering triggers for sale, I have not seen anything but quality come out of his shop.

**hadn't read the posts above, looks like at least 2 ALR members bought the triggers I saw**
