I have a Winchester 1886 in 45-90 but alas, no set trigger. Not sure I'd want to deal with it. Really interesting video though.

Hi! Long time member, but rare poster. I'd post more if I knew how to add pictures. I have an 1884 vintage Winchester 1873 with a single set trigger. I have always been very leery of using it for fear that some small fragile part will break. This video was a fascinating look at the mechanics of the thing. I still think I'm going to be very careful with it. How many local gunsmiths would have any idea how to fix it? And if they could, what would it cost?
