The Repro single trigger is a Parker Bros. type 2 single trigger and there's nothing really wrong with them. They malfunction just like the original. Sometimes the issue is doubling, and sometimes it's not resetting for the 2nd shot. I hate them all, but not for their possible faults. I hate them because after 65 years of shooting double trigger guns, I still go looking for the back trigger.
I bought a somewhat special (not a Repro)single trigger 28 because it had 30" barrels. It was converted by Babe Delgrego to single. It was almost an abomination, and a well known member (I won't name him because he claims to hate converting them) converted it, perfectly, back to double triggers. I say 'perfectly' because the slots are correct, and no 'L--R' remains.

Would this require a gunsmith experienced with Parkers? Or, could someone with basic knowledge, such as myself, maintain and fix the trigger mechanisms?

Appreciate you all sharing some of your knowledge.
