The only Canjars I have been around were single set triggers. I don't have one now, but the way they worked was to close the bolt normally, then push forward on the trigger shoe to set it. Then you got a very light pull which was adjustable.

It should set with a forward push with the bolt closed.
See this on how to adjust it properly.

No that is not correct . Canjar trigger should work as every other trigger does . It sounds like the trigger has had some one turning screws in or out or both and did not understand how to properly set it . Is it free in the trigger gaurd ,is it a set trigger ?
It also may need to have the cocking piece ground back slightly to catch the trigger sear when the bolt is opened . But cannot diagnose with the information you have given. Have a gunsmith look at it that is good with triggers .

Canjar trigger should work as a normal trigger whether it is a set trigger or not . You could get a standard Canjar trigger or a set Canjar trigger.
The set system is only in the trigger shoe . a standard Canjar trigger is exactly the same as the set except for the "trigger shoe ". A set trigger should work as a single stage trigger or if you want push the shoe forward to engage the single set system but you do not have to.

I personally have not seen a Canjar for a 52 but have used the single sets as already mentioned on center fire rifles. Are you sure it is a Canjar, not a Kenyon(sp?).
