The second longest serving service rifle is the 1873 Trapdoor rifle and carbine. It did not have a two stage trigger.
Neither does the longest serving standard rifle, but many did.

1st stage is "take up"Update:
got the Larue Tactical two stage and just installed it.
Slight issue with pin installed in hammer, but apparently common.
A couple things and this is just me probably
3 things I've noticed in dry firing
1. there is a Short take up
2. I can't feel both stages
3. It feels like it might be too light.
I'm guessing the take up may be the first stage and it's just so light I can't tell (I have slight hand issues).
It feels nice and breaks nicely
I'm going to try it out at the range before I put in the heavier spring.

Not possible if you look at this first...

Don't let the hammer crash into the receiver when you dry-fire with the upper removed.Had an emergency and in Bend right now, I will check it tomorrow, but I'm almost positive all the springs are right and I dry fired several times without the upper and then by charging it.
Seems to be working right, but I'll check it tomorrow.
1st stage is "take up"
2nd stage is the "wall"
Then bang !
The first stage should only be take-up. Then the "wall" where it breaks clean. Shouldn't be any "click" when pressing the trigger to the rear on the first stage.
