Nope... with a double triggered muzzle-loader, the small screw between the two triggers determines the amount of pull necessary on the FRONT trigger to fire the rifle. The ONLY function the rear trigger has is to "set" a lighter front trigger pull. You could pull the REAR trigger all day long, but the rifle would never fire.

If you don't "set" the front trigger by pulling on the rear trigger until you hear a "click" which indicates you've "set" the front trigger, then, of course, you can always fire the rifle by pulling the front trigger alone until the rifle fires. However, if unset by "setting" the front trigger with the rear trigger,, the front trigger will require a considerably greater amount of "pull" to make the rifle fire.
