At first I thought some of these guys were just letting their alcoholism spill onto the internet, and let it go at that... The part I think Robert has trouble with he's exchanging information with everyone that reads this forum...maybe a telephone call a letter or a email might give you more privacy Robert. This is how it works...You post it who ever reads it comments should they choose. In the mean time Sir Robert... Please refrain from calling me an alcoholic and a Klans'man.

Here's another possibility by a guy named Houldcroft of Warren Mass...There was a very important single trigger inventor who lived in nearby Connecticut by the name of Witherell but I think he worked for Remington... Well here is the Houldcroft patent http://patimg2.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=0079...View+first+page

It's a little toggle that can easily be selected while mounting the gun.. I could try to get a photo, but cant post it. Be glad to send it to someone to post..MDC

OP Robert Chambers Sidelock Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 1,096	MDC, Are you sure it's in the bow? It's in the forward part of the trigger like the Houldcroft patent above? It's not in the small piece of receiver between the trigger and bow? It's actually part of the bow?

The guns usually had Krupp barrels, so that was good, but even guns found in high condition have seemed to be a bit loose. Maybe a poor choice of metals elsewhere in the gun. Here's the only engraved one I have seen. http://www.bakercollectors.com/

OP Robert Chambers Sidelock Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 1,096	I've seen may 6 or 7 over the years...but I've read about a dozen for sale...none of which were single trigger guns...in fact all were field grades except one...and that wasn't a single trigger gun either... I guess all the Torkelson guns for sale, plus the ones I've seen, could be the same guns just circulating around. Has anyone else seen the two dozen single trigger Torkelson guns that Daryl has seen? How about you MDC?...if anyone would notice another single trigger Torkelson...it would be you...have you seen two dozen single trigger Torkelson's floating around?
