Thank you. I was wondering how those worked. I've been wanting to get a reproduction Sharps rifle or something of the like, and the double trigger design was kind of..."intimidating"? I didn't know how it worked, but it seems like a really nice feature now that I see what it does.
2:41 I'm a little confused, does the flat piece at the back strike the sear when released or does the spring pressure snap the front trigger forward such that it hits the trigger? From what I see, when you release it, that rear piece really flies up and I can assume under the momentum it picked up, it will release the trigger. Am I seeing that right? Also I never knew Mausers had that system at any point.
On that design, and most designs, when set, the front trigger releases the rear trigger which snaps up and depresses the sear. If the trigger isn't set, the front trigger can be depressed to fire it as well. So technically it works both ways.
Thanks for the simple break down. Straight to the point and easy to understand!
Great presentation, Got an old JH Rector .36 cal percussion rifle and I've never had anything with set trigger...Super simple! Cool!
Thank You for Your video. It is a very rare explanation of a double-set trigger (Deutscher Stecher).

They are simple and an excellent option when available.
very interesting, thx for the video
