Identify this trigger

[sean69]

Can anyone identify this single set trigger and, how it is to be assembled? It is like new having no holes drilled or tapped. The main spring appears to need a hole drilled in the trigger plate to accept it and have it bear on the nose of the ... mmm let's call it the striker bar - the bar (there are 3) that actually hits the sear.
It does not seem to want to latch when moving the trigger back and forth manually (holding the various bars down)
I'm wondering if it has been broken or over adjusted - though it has never been installed in anything.

complete mystery what the wire spring is for....

An IKEA single set trigger....some assembly required! Seriously, you are on the right track and the fine wire will be bent to push the trigger forward when at rest, unset . Take a look at similar single set triggers on Track of the Wolf, Davis and Chambers websites for insights on how everything goes together. Back out that tiny screw to allow the trigger and sear bars to engage then, once assembly is complete, turn it in a half turn at a time until the set trigger releases. Then back it out one full turn for safety. Good luck.

I have looked, there are none similar - this is a "3-bar" trigger as the guy who gave it to me recalls, but he has no idea how it works either. (he also gave me 3 roller locks with it!!)

- pretty sure the main spring goes where it is shown in pic 1, but pretty sure it's upside down
- there are "3 bars" in there and a 4th moving part - that little nub with the pin at the rear of the trigger appears like it's supposed to engage with the shoe of the striker bar
- there are no hole drilled anywhere to accept the wire spring nor is there any clearance around the bars for it to go through....

I think once the wire spring mystery is solved it should all come together ...

Do you mean Bob Roller locks? They are fantastic custom locks: I have 3 on guns I built. Actually, once you fit the mainspring I think the location and shape of the wire spring will be evident as it may push the trigger forward when at rest. You will probably set the trigger by pushing it forward against the mainspring....correct? Yes, I think the mainspring is shown in the proper location but upside down in the 1st photo: a screw through it and into the trigger plate will adjust/set the tension on the mainspring. If you think that trigger might be a Bob Roller product I can give you contact info for him.

I do, I also have a roller lock that Bill Large turned into a flint lock! (well lock plate)

The facebook poop is that these guys: https://www.buckridgeflintlocks.com/ made the trigger - looks very probable.
