I've owned 4 Parker Repros with single triggers in all gauges and never had a trigger problem with any of them. I still own 3. They all get shot regularly on birds and clays.

The problems with Repro single triggers can be easily fixed.

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.

Why not hold out for what you want? I see them around….none on GI currently.

I would prefer the single triggers if it functions correctly

There are gunsmiths that work on the repro triggers, such as Dan May of Miller Single Trigger as well as others. Much like Tom’s (Wilmut) experience, I have 3 repros and have not had an issue with their single triggers.

Sounds like most people here have had good experiences with them, and, they can be fixed pretty easily. There are 2-3 SST 28’s with extra barrels on GI currently….good luck!

Thanks. I’ve enjoyed learning about the history of these guns and looking forward to owning/shooting some of the Parker Reproductions.

Keep in mind that most of the repros have very high dimensions. Hopefully that works for you of you want to buy one.
