	Yes and you had another with all of the parts disassembled from the subframe. Ed

	I prsume you mean this one?? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) It is actually quite simple - even I can take it down and - most importantly - reassemble it! The top thingy with the extension is a double spring, and the one which powers the set trigger. Mind you I still haven't really figured out how it works, except that it works... It is a a quite compact package though.

	Does anyone do this type of installation on standard martini triggers?

	Not that I know of - double-trigger Martini's, when they can be found, are usually of the Swiss style, and external. This one is internal in a small action, and is most certainly not drop-in.

	Any chance of another picture showing a side view of that double spring. That's a real interesting setup. Is the extension arm on the double spring integral to the spring or silver soldered on--can you tell? How far down can it be set--weight wise?

	Give me a bit of time, and I'll come up with a side pic - but the 'arm' is integral to the spring. Weight-wise, I'd have to go by feel, but I'd guess around 100-150 grams - maybe 200 tops. As I am used to a direct trigger, more than light enough for me! One thing though - I really need to tighten down the spring, or I get AD's - which probably means that I will need to recut the sear in the long run, as it presumably is only held by spring pressure...

	that double spring and lever arm must be a pretty fancy little bit of metal work. the rest does not look overly complex.

	don't know, won't debate about the aesthetics, but its said "beauty is as Beauty does". At the 22 shoot at EG this weekend we had 34 or 35 shooter, my list is out inth van and I haven't brought that case in yet, but as I recall the number of Martinis---almost all BSA's or variant---outnumbered the TOTAL of all the other guns listed on the registrtion sheets. And again as I recall, most of the guys taking home money, took it with martinis.
