Sorry for the translator.- Affectionately

The trigger bar is part of the secondary sear ( second guarantor ) as in a flintlock. The trigger acts on the trigger bar moving it right rotating the secondary sear anti - clockwise. Hope that does it .

Hello

With all due respect, I still do not understand ... the action of neutralizing the safety is different from squeezing the trigger .... it would be important to design the lock ready to fire, with the safety on, then with it removed and having fired

A HORSA would be convenient a photograph of the frizzen's face, to clarify all these questions
