Simple vs set triggers in southern mountain rifles

[Shopdog]

Let me just say the Knoxville show was amazing - only thing matching the collections of original southern mountain guns under one roof was the collection of experts and collectors of said rifles.  Being somewhat overwhelmed I forgot to ask a question while there - how many southern rifles were built with simple single triggers (if any)?  Looking through my photos and notes I realized I saw only one attributed to GA that lacked set triggers. I'm curious as to the possibility of simple single triggers within southern rifles in the day.  Seems like by the turn of the 18th century anyways, set triggers seem to predominate  by a long shot.  What do  the experts on this forum have to say on the subject.  Partly academic but then I'm toying with making a po-boy out of  parts I have and am curious as to the "authenticity" if I go the route with a simple trigger.  Just to be clear... this is a rifle for putting meat on the table and I'm no expert on the matter so I was toying with a simple trigger but being I have an affinity for southern mountain rifles I'm torn between  staying close to home as it were vs my desire to skip set triggers on this build.

 I’ve seen a few Southern guns without set triggers, but they’re not real common, and usually are unsigned guns that I would suspect got built by relatively unskilled craftsmen over a long cold winter. I would think these guns were built for ones own use. A gun without set triggers would be pretty hard to sell I suspect.

The fact that there are surviving examples of these rifles that never had a
set trigger would justify building one.How many of those equipped with a set
trigger had a lock with a "fly" or were the triggers the type that had to be set
before the lock can be cocked?

  Not everyone dances to the same tune.  If it was me I'd go ahead with the single trigger.

Thanks fellas!  Especially for the photos which oddly enough is pretty close already to the stock configuration I have cut out.  I've never seen that rifle so extra inspiration.  Ya'll have settled it for me.  simple trigger it is.

I think you know the answer already. You won't see many, but yes some were done. Some of about everything was done somewhere by somebody.   Good luck with it.

Nice fairly high grade English lock on that rifle.

You might consider a single set trigger.  The photos show an American made single set that I made molds from and had castings made.
