Late Ketland lock by Jim Chambers and a good set of double set triggers. Have two guns with this lock and they are fast...
 
The Chambers late Ketland is what I chose for my TN, SMR. It looks good on small (mine's also a .32) rifles.

I'd say you should probably sell it! To me. If'n I can afford it:)
 
now all i have to do is decide how i am going to hide the the purchases from the ceo! wish the late Ketland was a tad shorter but i think it will fit the cheek.
had a bad night and momma feels sorry for me, now is the time to strike! "hello mrs Chambers?, i'd like to order........". :ghostly:
If you see her in your wood shop build a box out of plywood....runnnnnnnnnnn!

Two opinions from me: 1.Do what you like for yourself! 2. Single if you are going to hunt, double if you are going to shoot in competition.

Looks like you could end up with a mighty fine "squirrel rifle" there:cool:. My choice for the trigger would be a DSDT mostly because I am partial to them on small to medium caliber rifles. On larger caliber hunting rifles I like a simple single trigger. :thumb:

Only competition i have left in me is competing with the dog for breakfast.
this is going to be purely for enjoyment, though i may pot a grouse once in a while just because they are so tasty and the 32 is to small for any other critters around here.
 
as I only have one rifle with a single trigger (a mortimer) i have decided on the double set triggers. i also found i don't have room for a lock plate larger then at the most 5 inches x 3/4. the late kirkland might fit but i am leaning to the Chambers small Siler deluxe flintlock.
sanded the pigeon manure off the stock and it is looking like it will be a very nice piece of wood. now to summon up the energy to do the work!

You'll start to hear this little voice in your head saying, "sell it, sell it, sell it to them", meaning me.😁
