Anyone have a single trigger mechanism for a Nitro? Is it possible to convert a double trigger to single on the Nitro? This one is a 16 Ga. Are the trigger plates common on these from gauge to gauge?
Thanks!

Call Classic Gun Stocks, Oswego, NY. Maybe they can help. The old Company would do it for under $5.00 but those days are very long gone.

They are more common on the Lefever A grades and the western Arms guns. But they were put on the nitros as well. They are a simple trigger, but not selectable.
Swapping to double triggers would be straight forward. The trigger plates are the same, or at least similar enoigh to make the interchange easily doable. You jist need the parts for the double teigger guns. If you want to do it and need the parts, contact me. I have everything, and lots of them.

I may have misunderstood your question. I understood that you were asking about converting a double trigger gun to a single trigger gun? BTW Ithaca advertised widely for converting double trigger guns to a single non-selective trigger. $3.21 at one point. More later.

Walter, you are correct. I have a double trigger gun that has had the barrels cut to the point that there is no discernible choke. No choke, no real advantage for double triggers. The gun is a good grouse gun in the fact that it can't be hurt much more than it has been! A single trigger would be fine and a little bit handier for me wearing gloves when it gets colder.
Thanks

Perhaps Mr. Dudley has the parts to do the job. If not the Miller Trigger boys (Classic Gun Stocks) can do it BUT you may not like the price.

The SNS trigger is simple enough. Most parts are stamped out steel, then twisted and bent into shapes need. IIRC the right hammer may be slightly different. The contour of the back side of it is slightly different than the plain 2 trigger gun hammer. The trigger is reset by a spring loaded arm riding on the back edge of the right hammer as it recocks each time.
Trigger plate is the same 2 slotted type. SNS trigger uses the left(rear) slot for the trigger. Right slot is filled. Inside underneath the tang is the antidoubling counter weight. A small slot milled to accept it and cross pinned. A simple coil spring supplies the power.

Walter, I'm thinking I'd be into the gun a bit to much with a Miller! $3.21? Where's that time machine?!
Kutter, great info! It seems that I don't need the trigger plate, just the mechanism. I was wondering how the trigger re-set. Could the existing hammer be modified or will I need to have the hammer too? I am thinking about buying a complete ST gun, converting mine to ST, converting/reselling the other. So, does it matter what gauge the donor gun is?
Thanks!

If you want to convert from DT to ST, then yes, Miller is the way to go, but not the cheapest. And finding the parts just laying around somewhere for the Ithaca Lefever single triggers would be a difficult task. You would be better off buying a LNS or Western arms gun that has one and in rough shape and using it for the parts.
