LOP translation between single and double triggers

[Bill Murphy]

I know I'm at least 120 years too late, but the only way to measure length of pull is from the middle of the butt to the rear of the trigger guard. The position of the triggers is of no consequence.

[Herb Hewlett]

I have a single trigger 20 ga.,the trigger seems to be in the rear position and
the lop,from trigger to center of butt plate is 15 1/4 ".
A twelve gauge that measures 14 1/4". That would lead me to believe lop dimensions could be anything ?

I have two Reproductions. The single trigger gun measures 14 1/4. The double trigger gun measures 14 3/4. The length of the wood on both guns are the same. I had assumed that was the case on all of them. I was at the gun show in Tulsa this year and measured a two trigger repro and it was 14 3/8. I guess my assumption was wrong.

Although Repros were available optionally to be specified with a custom LOP, there has been an assumption floating around for decades that double trigger Repros that have a 14 3/4” LOP (there are many) were fitted with stocks intended to go on single trigger guns. Your guns support that assumption.
