Default Converting a Parker to double triggers

from a Parker Single Selective. How big of a deal is this?

Nothing that a couple thousand dollars, parts and gunsmithing skills can’t solve.

I am under the impression that Dan May and Ken Waite of www.classicgunstocks.com have experience in this area.

Not a big deal at all. Depending on how far you want to take the conversion. Basic parts and function only vs making the gun look like it always was a DT gun. Search the Parker repro section for the topic. It is something that repro owners want done relatively often.

And Bruce’s figure is very high for the work. I would say that between $500 and $1000 is more like it depending on who does he work and what they want for parts and labor.

I have a DHE 16 that came from the factory as single trigger and was returned for double triggers. It works well.
