Do any of you 1894 shooters have /use the Set Trigger? I have a very early 38-55 32'' barreled 1894
I shoot with the set trigger! it sure makes a world of difference in the trigger pull ;)

Have not owned a gun with set trigger. Quigley did quiet well with a set trigger Sharps. Hollywood style.

I like the way they operate, very dramatic.

The winchester set trigger is like a hair of all hair triggers .....So smooth! By the records I guess they only made 960 guns with the set trigger !!!!! They sure are fine working! Ol Deuce

There was 1 1894 with double set trigger !!!!

Must say, I have seen a lot of Winchesters over the past sixty-years, never seen with set triggers. Looks intimidating on a lever.
