On some early matchlocks, the trigger system was just a long lever. Slow match at one end, pivot in the middle, the other end is the "trigger". Just pull to lower the match into the pan. No sear, just a spring holding the match up.
As far as break actions go, stick to the single barrel versions. SXS and OU shotguns get alot more bits inside to switch to the second barrel, automatically apply the safety when broken open, etc.
