set trigger
« on: January 24, 2008, 08:42:18 PM »
I put this in the 76 section as well . Does anyone know any real gunsmith who is willing to fabricate a set trigger for my 76 ? We all know these were quite popular in that model , even available in the 73 , they abound in muzzle loaders and sharps but no one seems to have the ability to put one in the old lever guns lilke they did in the 1800's in mass . This is really anoying to me as think it would be blast  and increase accuracy .  This would need to be fabricated or vultured from existing set trigers on the market and made to fit .

Hi.
Brand new member on this forum. Saw you post on set trigger for a 76 (73).
I have a complete set of original set trigger parts as well as the lower tang for a 73. I am willing to part with the parts.
I also have a copy of the stone book and I can copy chapter 4 for you.
Email me at greiner2atptd.net if you are interested.
Regards,
Cincinnati Kid

Some years back, Well prior to 2008, when Uberti USA still existed, I had a conversation with Ms Uberti (Maria is Aldo's Daughter) about
the "Set Trigger" option for the High Wall and for the '73.  I was told at the time the boys in Brescia had finally quit working on both.  They
were unable to get either  to work reliably and at a price point to make it worthwhile to manufacture.  There were, at the time so few
"inquiries" for the set triggers it was decided not worth pursuing.

Have you ever put one on either a 73 or 76, my personal preferance is a good single trigger, have used a few hunting rifles with single and double set triggers and a sharps but could never get on them.

I have heard of this sort of stuff over the years.
What a lot of folks don't realize is that a "fly" is needed in the half cock area to allow the trigger sear to ride over the half cock notch once the trigger is set.
Double set triggers are most common within the muzzle loading types of firearms. These may be in a single stage or double stage type of set trigger.
Single set triggers are a bit more complicated within arms like RR blocks and/or Winchester type firearms due to styling of the hammer and trigger arrangement.
However, they still need the use of a "fly" on the hammer, and away to keep the "fly" in place.

I don't know if this makes any since, but I hope it may help.
My best,

Are you talking single or double?  Double-set triggers have been available on the Uberti High and Low Walls for a long time.

The single set trigger on the original Winchesters was about as complicated as Obamacare, i.e., a SOB to work on.  ::)

I have a first model 73 with a set trigger. I've kinda wanted to take it apart to see how it works but the gun is in good working condition so I'm reluctant to mess with it.

It is a really nice trigger, I'd like to have it on some other Winchester type rifles.

The problem child for the Uberti guys was of the Single Set type.  They may have looked at it again since I retired, but not that I know
of.

Cliff,
If you have a '73 with a good, working single set, I wouldn't take it apart either.  ;D

Cliff and Coffinmaker, I've got the single set on a second model and fortunately it still works. What I did was buy up a bunch of spare parts as they became available on EBay and have them squirreled away 'just in case'. After working on a standard second model a few times I'm loath to even look wrong at the set trigger gun for fear something will break. ;D
