Any thoughts? I am sure this is already out there somewhere.

Seems like I need to do more reading and less thinking. :)

What about a sear that has the down rod angled backwards. Similar to a reverse emag sear if that helps draw a picture. Screwing with the geometry?

You can re-arrange the shape of the sear all you want, as long as you keep the pivot point, the on/off pin surface and the sear catch in the same spot. It comes out as a "two-force member", so you can take whatever route you need from the pivot to the clevis hole. It could be a "C" shape. Actually making the sear is the hard part. "Hard" haha, get it?
