Chaz,
The safety could have been getting slid off the trigger with pressure. And yes, since the gun was restocked, that throws a large amount of variables into the mix that can be causing the issue and also the doubling. Being a stock maker myself, I can tell you that there is a lot of on and off fitting and adjustments needed at the end to get the safety and replated parts to operate correctly. If the trigger plate is any deeper or shallower that originally, this will effect the operation of the safety. And the operation will also be different if the gun is cocked vs. un-cocked.
And regarding your auto safety reset rod. If the gun was restocked and the rod left out. The stock head may have not been drilled out for the rod. So, if you are to put one back in, you may need to drill it out. Not too difficult. Just need to remove the tang screw bushing and the safety jacket assembly and get the hole drilled at the right angle. I do make new safety pushrods for Parkers. If you want, I can share the plans with you. I will PM you.
