Double set triggers

I decided to make my own double lever double set triggers for a Early Virginia Flintlock I'm working on. The triggers will be reshaped slightly and all parts polished on the inside before being installed. Overall the job was easier than I thought it would be...considering the only power tool I used was a drill.

Early Georgian Pistol







This is the first pistol I have built. It is a 62 caliber smoothbore with a reshaped left handed large Siler flintlock. The lock choice for a lefty was very limited. This lock is some what large for a pistol but works with the large barrel. I made the butt cap, trigger, and side plate with belt hook. The Polish falcon is pewter. All that's left is test firing and some burnishing. Hope you like it LT.
