I bought a 20 guage repro new in the day. The rest of my repros were bought used thru the internet. 2 of the 5 had to be repaired, I consider that to be a bit of a pain to pay for shipping and repairs on guns that were presented as functional.
I'm not making a statement on ST guns in general, I'm letting the forum know what I experienced. Your experience may be perfect if no one has felt the need to "fix" your gun. Some complex mechanisms work perfectly, some don't. I like the guns enough to pay the piper, some people don't. Bill |

About the only problem I've found with a single trigger is the the timeing/pressure of the tang and rear floor plate screw. Oh and the lack of another trigger.

Same here Harry. The only ST Repro I had was a ST 20 ga. BTFE, SG, and I had the same problem... my others were DT 28's. I don't know if the wood had shrunk but the screw in the top tang loosened over time. When I tightened it - and I don't believe I over-tightened it - the ST slide switch was almost impossible to operate. Rather than add a shim under the top tang I just lived with it and kept it in the position to fire the right barrel first. It really didn't matter with the Q-1 and Q-2 chokes it had. But the gun never doubled on me. .

As I posted earlier, Roundsworth has the answer and the name of the gunsmith that can fix it. He told me this week that it takes more time to take the gun apart than it does to fix the problem. Reread his post.

Some insight on doubling.....I've several Parker reproduction in all gauges except .410. Most are single trigger guns and I've never had a problem. However, I currently have TWO (2) original Parkers that are in for repair with G&H. They double often. It is possible that there is a design/engineering issue with the Parker single trigger that may only show up in a small minority of guns.

Based on a too-small, sample (one 1924 DHE which I recently bought from Jeff L), with a Miller SST, it has performed flawlessly through about 500 rounds.
