FWIW. My Trojan that was doubling was clean. Larry had the gun apart two years earlier and everything went through the ultrasonic cleaner and had been properly put back together. Scott Kittredge had a GH that doubled and cleaning did not resolve it. When Larry repaired the sears in my Trojan he commented that more guns come into his shop each year for the repair of worn sears than for any other issue.

I hope that a thorough cleaning resolves the problem. However I will not take a chance with sears. They are the only thing preventing your gun from an unintended discharge. If the jar from firing can trip a sear so could so could the jar from setting the gun down. A gun that doubles is a potentially lethal threat to the user and all those around it.

Good luck.
