Why does the trigger go so far back?

Why does the trigger go so far back?

[lbothell]

Part of the for sale section rules.
Need to post a photo of the gun with a piece of paper next to it with your user name and todays date on it, supposed to prevent scammers.

 

[JackGGarner]

Do I still need t add another photo with this paper or do u have a suggestion as to what i need to do.

 

[The Crisco Kid]

You can write your name and date on the piece of paper the gun is setting on and then take another photo of it. You should be able to hit "edit" on your original post and then add the photo with your info to the post.

can you post a photo of the entire rifle?

14" pull? That seems fairly long. I'm six feet two inches tall and that would be long for me. Am I missing something?

Many factory Hawken style rifles have a 14" LOP or very close to it.
Other models like the factory Kentucky rifles have a shorter LOP closer to 13.5"
I just looked up the Lyman Great Plains rifle and it's LOP is listed as 14".
I'm guessing that most of the other Lyman rifles also have a 14" LOP.--->>> http://logcabinshop.com/oc30/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=24402

Some other listed factory LOP's:
Pedersoli Pennsylvania Dixie .45 Rifle - 13.5"
Pedersoli Kentucky - 13.5"
Cabela's Pedersoli Blue Ridge - 14 1/8"

Classified ad rules state you need to do this. This helps with scammers posting items they don't have and disappearing with the money. My 1st classified ad; I made the same error. Semper Fi.

 

[JackGGarner]

I am 6 feer tall and my pull is 14”. This is standard on most all muzzle loaders

Going to try to plus put the picee of paper with it.

That's an average pull length unless your over 6 ft and have short arms

 

[ColonialRifleSmith]

How to measure length of pull. (LOP)

Stand with your arms at your sides. Bend your shooting arm at the elbow and hold it at a 90-degree angle with your palm facing up. At this point, your arm should be parallel to the ground, palm open and fingers pointing forward.

Have your assistant use the tape measure to measure the distance from the inside crook of your elbow to the first (outer-most) joint on your shooting finger.

Even though this measurement is between your finger and your elbow, as opposed to your finger and your shoulder where it will mount, it is an accurate measurement of your true LOP.
