LOP translation between single and double triggers

[John Allen]

When the guns were initially ordered, the specs called for 14/8" LOP period. The Japanese took that to apply to either double or single triggers. The single trigger guns are all longer than the double trigger guns.

The common practice of measuring the LOP is to measure from the center of the butt, to the front trigger, on a double trigger gun. Where this leads to problems, is when a single trigger gun is measured from the center of the butt, to the (only) trigger. That may be the only way to report it, but if you shoot a DT gun with the same dimension as reported on a ST gun, you will find it to be roughly 3/4” too long to feel the same.
I know that the OVERALL length of a stock is almost exactly 1” longer than the lOP of a DT gun. Therefore, I keep that measurement in mind. Your hand ( and body angle) will then be the same. Then, shooting a ST gun will feel no different than pulling the back trigger on a DT gun.
At my age, remembering that overall dimension, is no longer important, as I have finally shed the last single trigger gun I will ever own.
Shoutout to Brian for his masterful conversion of my CHE 28 to double triggers.

Said so much better than I attempted (Bill as well)!

Edgar, I also interpret your comment about the same hand and body angle to mean...in order to have the same hand placement and body angle, the length of the stock would have to be the same regardless of whether it was a 1 or 2 trigger gun for said comparison.
