Hey Mills it's clean, no crud or gunk in it, everything was oiled properly. I took it apart last night. My guess is it has replacement stock and the upper tang sits deep and that allows the rear tang screw to become proud. When that happens it brings the trigger plate up from the bottom and allows the triggers to press on the sears. I think with that pressure and recoil from the shot it engages the sears just enough to allow it to slip or the sear spring is getting weak. I think my first goal is to get the wood raised along the upper tang and see if that helps. Next step....new sear spring! I will say it's an eye opener when it does double, poor duck didn't stand a chance!
Thanks
Guys!
