I am looking at a nice Francotte subgauge sideplated boxlock from the 20s that suffers from only one shortcoming - it was equipped with a Miller single trigger. I have nothing against Miller triggers, other than they are one trigger short of a load, so I am looking into converting the gun to a DT.
Apparently the slot is a standard DT slot, so there should be room for DTs. However, there may be an issue with the trigger bow being too short for two triggers, and I need to locate two triggers. Any ideas on how to source triggers for this gun - do they need to be Francotte triggers?
Making the triggers seems like a potentially expensive undertaking, plus new triggers on a 85-year old gun would stand out like a sore thumb, I would think.
What would be a reasonable estimate for the conversion work, assuming the original trigger guard can be used and spare part triggers can be found?
Thanks in advance, Doverham
