What's the couse?

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

Thanks George. Besides replacement, any other remedy?

Angel,
You did'nt mention the loads you were shooting but other than a good cleaning try reducing the weight and pressure of the load and sometimes it solves the problem. Unless someone has messed with the sears you should be able to fire countless thousands of rounds through that gun without a doubling problem.

Angel,
A good cleaning will probably take care of your problem. If the sears are worn, a good smith should be able to weld and file them back into shape. If I were you, I would hurry up and buy a backup gun so you never have to leave early again!!
Good luck,
Chris

Chris, I did have my GH 16ga. It's just that when it happened the second time I did not have a good butt to shoulder contact and of course the gun will let you know.

Daryl, I was using SpreadR ammo, 2-3/4 drams, 28 gram shot wt, #8 shot in 2-1/2. This was the first time the gun was fired in over 40 yrs, if that makes a diff.

Angel: You got some great advice here before I had a chance to get back to you. Strip your action first & clean it thoroughly. If that doesn't fix the problem then having the sears rebuilt would be the obvious solution.
