Default Single trigger stock, to double trigger stock

Does anyone have any experience modifying a stock from a single trigger gun, to a double trigger gun? And if so, is it practical to do?

Mark, I'm sure Chris or Brian will chime in, but, depending on grade, it isn't an impossible thing to accomplish. Actually, Grade makes no difference, but the cost/practicality aspect, and availability factor might make it less practical
It will require some filling, and re-inletting, but not much more.

What Edgar says. My guess is it might be easier to just get a double trigger Parker that fits your needs

After what seems like a breakneck race to see how many guns I can buy in one year, AND attempt to,stay married, a pretty beat up little O frame VH 20, with decent barrels, a terminal buttstock, and a rough forend, has come into my possession. Mechanicals good, 28” im and mod. The wrist repair reminds me of Charlie Clevelands 8 bore!!....bought it really chap, half of me is thinking of hauling its ugly “$#@&” around and shooting it like it is!

The other half says fix and refresh.......

Just what I needed, another project gun!

A ton of wood is hogged out of an SST stock to make room for the mechanism.

An SST stock can be put onto a DT action by either building back in all that wood to hold the regular safety hacket assembly. OR you modify the safety mech. In order to work differently than Parker deaigned it.

Think I’ll hang tight for matching wood. FWIW, nice single trigger 0 frame stock on gunbroker.


Thanks agan Brian!!,
