	Okay guys, news flash Steve Earle ( maker of oustanding bases and the Wesson action is close to finishing the design work on a new/different roller single set trigger. He feels the same as many that the old original factory set trigger wasn't much good/reliable. I have encouraged him to make a new design and he feels he has come up with a better idea. We talked about it this evening and we may have the first one on a roller of mine in a few weeks for testing. If there is the slighest as to the quality of his work, just ask around. There were many at E.G. this past week end that saw his Wesson action and can testify to his quality. The parts will be made of D2 steel and properly hardened. These parts will have to be installed in your action as it requires exacting precision in placement as to relation to hammer. This isn't a job for the average guy so triggers won't be sold without being fitted. Just thought some of y'all would be interested. Ken

	Well fellow smoke makers, the time draws near for Mr. Steve Earle to finish his single set trigger for the #1 and #5 roller action. Perhaps I should say "much improved trigger" as he has improved the design and is using only D2 steel. Anyone who has seen the Wesson action shown around by Dale McGee at Etna Green recently will testify to the absolute top quality found in Steve's work thus can be assured the trigger will be the same. I have five ordered for some of my rollers. Ken

	I spoke with Steve Earle last about his new roller trigger. His question was, how light should this trigger be able to be adjusted to ?? Some feel 5-6 oz. is enough but there are others who feel 3 oz. would be better. Steve feels that under perfect conditions, the trigger could be adjusted to 1 oz. However, there is a safety factor to be considered so he doesn't want to have the trigger to light. We are interested in feedback and all suggestions will be appreciated.

	Hey Ken. Personally, I like to feel the trigger before it breaks, and have trouble feeling very light set triggers. For me, an adjustment range of 4-8 oz. set would be about ideal. Greg

	Hey there Mr. Greg --- I believe Steve will set it for you at whatever oz. pull you wish. I will recomend to him to do so ad lock it down with loctite. Can't wait to see the marvelous stocking job you did on my 16' , 94 Win. As soon as I get the stock finished, I will return same to you for one of your class checkering jobs. While I am finishing the stock, I am going to gold border the edges of the frame, engrave a tasteful amount of scroll and inlay a gold bobcat on one side and a gold fox on the other. Will send you a few goood pictures of it when finished. ken

	The old/original single set wasn't very good --- unreliable & sloppy. The dbl. set was far superior. Steve has designed a single set trigger that will be slop free and still give a 3 oz. trigger pull if you wish to adjust it down that low. Secondly, the trigger will be made of D2 steel and will be heat treated. All parts are machined from stock and NOT CAST. The trigger will be fitted to your action & must be fitted within .005" of proper placement for maximum benefit. Your hammer must be machined to receive a fly which is also furnished. It would seem that this trigger will be a better trigger as it will be trunion mounted and won't have any lateral movement as a double set does as presently being furnished. The nice thing about the Earle trigger is you can use the same trigger guard without any additional expense. Call Steve at 781-585-6504 EST after 7:00 PM Ken

	More good news roller shooters --- After speaking with John King and Richard McKinney today, we will be offering a sporter hammer and breechblock. The enthuiasm of these two guys has encouraged us to put these two items up next for manufacturing. Both John and Richard have an unused set of sporter triggers and hammers that they will allow Steve to borrow so he can write a program to duplicate them on his CNC mill. They will be made a bit wider so they can be custom fitted to each frame. The hole in the hammer & breechblock will also be smaller so that too can be fitted to the frame. This will allow there to be no lateral slop in the parts. Ken kenhurst1@earthlink.net

	Hi Ken I am new to this board. just found it. This is a very interesting topic , but it seems to have died. Is there any new info on this? Would a Pedersoli rb be a candidate for a sst? thanks Kip

	Hi Kip ---- no, the pedersoli rifles have a brass trigger guard and these triggers will require a steel one. I also believe the Ped. rollers are a bit off dimentionaly from American made rollers. At any rate, Steve is so busy trying making the new Wesson action that it will be a while before he will be able to think about triggers. The Wesson action has gone way over the expected orders and he is about 63/54 backordered now. They will be made but only after the Wesson orders slow down. Ken
