Double set triggers for M1886?

I friend of mine, Jimmy Harrision the custom hat maker, wants a double set trigger for his .45-90 M1886. I have no idea whether Browning-Winchester ever reproduced them. I have no idea where to seek an original Winchester version either.

Any help finding one will be appreciated.

I have never seen a DOUBLE set on an 1886 but did have a set trigger on an 1886 45-90 while in gunsmith school. Still have the mainspring I had to make for it as a class assignment. I gave the rifle to a good friend after restoring it.
