I have a Lyman Trade Rifle enroute to me and was looking for a single set trigger for it. I see that RE Davis has a single set trigger, but when I asked about a trigger to fit the Lyman Trade Rifle, the only reply is that their double set triggers won't fit & no mention about the single set trigger # 0003.

Any advice on who makes a single set trigger that will fit?
 
Don't know of any single set trigger that will be a drop-in fit. No matter which trigger you end up with, you are probably looking at a bit of "smithing".
 
Nobody makes one.
The Trade rifle is like the Great Plains and has a 1/2" wide mortise for the trigger,, all the single set triggers available are .400 wide.
It does take some inletting, but a Lyman double and/or the Davis Deer Slayer can be installed,, you need to add/inlet a different trigger guard also.
 
More work than I want to put into it right now. I've gotten great results on another Lyman rifle lock by replacing the spring in the plunger that tensions the sear.
With the spring loaded single Lyman trigger, there is no take up or trigger rattle & the trigger breaks at around 2.5#
