Mine were all three custom. One by A.W. Sukalle from the Phoenix area, and one of the Monarchs by Argus Barker up near Corvallis (MT). Several years ago they were $5700 for single trigger, $800 more for his double sets. The one I wish, really wish, I had kept was a Neidner. He had figured out a way to convert to DST's, and put a folding cocking piece from a Krag or Springfield that flipped up to allow the breechblock to drop.

The really neat stuff you wish you had had the sense to just put away...

There was an outfit in Silver City, New Mexico, making these. I think they would be more popular if some of our main single-shot BPCR competitions here in the States did not require exposed hammers. This keeps a lot of our Martini-armed Canadian friends out the game, too.
