Having just received the gun back this afternoon I have yet to shoot it-- other than pulling the triggers on some snap caps several times, the triggers let off crisply. Before sending the gun I asked Keith Kearcher if I could specify the trigger pull weight, he said they are what they are, but he could make adjustments to the sears to a specified pull weight for $30/trigger. I said I'd like about 3 1/2 to 4 lb. pulls, the gun came back with no invoice requesting any more money, I don't have a trigger pull scale to verify. Having said this, the right trigger seems a little heavier than what I'd prefer, so I'll have to shoot it a bit to determine if it needs an adjustment.
Like I said above, Kearcher assured me that you WILL NOT lose the auto safety feature if you have the conversion done.

Greg,
I may be interested in the single trigger, if you decide you don't need it. Thanks Chuck |

I had a chance to get out this afternoon for a couple of rounds of skeet with my newly converted to double trigger Repro. It functioned flawlessly and my initial concern over the right bbl. trigger pull being a little heavy turned out to be much ado about nothing. I am completely satisfied with the transformation.

Of course not everyone has a set of double triggers sitting around the house. Don't throw anything away.

I also received my Parker Repro 28 back from Keith Kearcher after having him convert it from single to double triggers.It took less than 3 weeks and the triggers work perfect. For those wandering if the auto safety will still work after the conversion I can say that mine does still work the same as it did with the single trigger.
I emailed some pictures of my gun after the conversion to Greg so he can post them for me. Regards |

Here's some pics of Karl's gun which, besides the SST to DT conversion, has undergone some further customization--gold inlays by Angelo Bee and an additional beavertail forend fashioned from an original DHE.

For those who have asked about my beavertail forearm, I bought an original Parker DHE 28 Ga forearm from Numrich Gun Parts Inc that I attached a picture of. I had my splinter forearm iron fit into the original forearm and then reshaped it due to the beavertail being thicker than the splinter.I then sent it to Sherry Abraham with a rub and pictures the Parker Repro forearm pattern and she checkered it for me.I refinished it and have been very happy with the feel it has with the 28 ga. barrels. If I ever decide I want to use the splinter forearm I just use the same forearm metal parts and swap it over.
