Flintlock Long Guns / Modifying my Traditions Shenandoah trigger
« Last post by Winter Hawk on November 18, 2024, 12:42:21 PM »I am not a fan of set triggers. Several years ago I modified the trigger plate on the Hodgepodge rifle (CVA) to a single trigger and that worked out very well. A while back I traded an unmentionable for a Traditions Shenandoah rifle which has basically the same trigger group, and recently I decided to modify it also.
The modification consists of taking all of the parts out of the trigger plate and drilling a new hole for the front trigger pin about 1/4" back and a tad higher than the existing hole, then reinstalling the front trigger in the new location. A drill press would probably make this easier but I don't have one so used the hand drill. Despite having center punched the trigger plate the drill wandered down and forward a bit. It took some file work to make the trigger operate correctly but it just barely releases the seer at the end of motion. I'm thinking of cleaning the trigger plate thoroughly and filling the new hole with JB Weld, mostly for cosmetics, then taking the TP to a friend's drill press and see if this can be rescued.
Wish me luck!
