When he was still in Illinois Dave Trevallion had a AA hammer gun with a single trigger but he converted it back to a double trigger. I believe it was a T/A though. I have pictures he gave me and will post a couple if there is any interest.

A hammer gun with a single trigger is something I've never seen, lifter or top action.

I have seen a few top action guns with a single trigger. But they of course were not factory. I know that Jim Hall has one that had a miller in it and he had it pit back to double triggers. I think he said that russ bickel put the single trigger in it. But I may be mistaken.

Here are a few pictures of the lifter. Records for a letter are available so I will
get one ordered today. Has some warts but it’s interesting. Has screws about ever 2 to 4”
On the top rib. Has a single selective trigger that appears to function. Has a crack in the wrist.
Bores are good and locks up tight.

Thanks Dean,

I would love too, but, the gentleman says he has too much work and doesn’t want new customers.
so out of respect, I do not give out his name without asking his permission first.

Stan

Something about Parker hammer guns vs single triggers and beaver tail fore ends that just don't mix

Now Remington era . . . another story

Stan,
I assume you restocked it for shoot-ability and dimensions? The new comb does look a bit higher than the original one. The stock work looks perfect, great form!
