Dayton trigger ID?

[foxtrot1]

Picked up a dayton trigger on ebay that was labeled for a enfield. I dropped my neighbors 1917 out of the stock to swap triggers today. It doesn't seem to line up, the sear is much too short. It's 0.964" from the center of the pin hole to the face of the sear.

Anybody have any idea what this trigger fits?

SMLE?
Though, I dunno how you even could fit a drop-in trigger unit to an SMLE.

Here's a Timney listed for a P17, if that helps-

Could it be intentionally designed that way to have a shorter striker throw for faster lock time?

Maybe? It doesn't appear to line up with the hole for the sear thru the tang. I would like to hear from someone who has installed one before I start removing metal.

You can see the difference when they are stacked onto of each other.

It must be for the P-14/17 Enfield, not the British SMLE in any version.

Dayton made a trigger for the 1917 with a cock-on-opening conversion.
