I have two flintlock rifles. Both are custom (presumably from kits) made by others but purchased by me. I have taken deer with both and enjoy shooting both however One has a double trigger (trigger & set trigger) the other is a single trigger w/o set trigger. The rifle without the set trigger has a much better trigger. Smoother pull with no play. The rifle with the set trigger is a harder pull but the set trigger is way too sensitive. Not using the set trigger I have developed a heavy flinch with this rifle due to the slop in the trigger and the excessive trigger pull which forces me to use the set trigger. You can't even barely touch the trigger without it going off. I have tried a few adjustments and it's still way too sensitive in my opinion.
Can trigger pull be adjusted mechanically? Are triggers lock specific? As in with certain triggers only work with certain locks? Is it possible to replace that existing trigger set with another w/o too much work? I do not know the manufacturer of the trigger. I can take the rifle apart to see if I can find any markings. Are triggers lock specific?
I understand that these questions may be difficult to answer without knowing the specifics of the installed equipment but I appreciate any information, tips, tricks, etc.
I'll try to get more information on the installed parts as well.
