A couple months ago I bought a 28 ga Parker repro with double triggers from Roger Bain Firearms, Inc. The gun was described as never fired and new in its case with two sets of barrels, 26 and 28 inches with splinter and beaver forends. My error was not to take it out immediately and fire it, though buying from what appears to be a reputable dealer and a new gun I didnt think I would have any concerns. Friday, I brought it, a 16ga WC Scott, and a 803 20ga Arrettia up to the cabin with me to shoot clays after opening the cabin. Broke a 23 with the WC and a 20 with the Arrettia. Went to shoot a box with the Parker Repo and the first bird went flying into the woods untouched....so did the seco nd.....the triggers did not move. Thought I had left it on safe, but hadnt. It feels like both triggers are locked on safe, with no movement no matter how many times I take apart, put together or move the safety. I have left messages for Mr. Bain, as well as emails and hope to get a response soon. If he is reputable I would think he would do something to make it good. If not, I will need to take it to someone who knows what they are doing to make it right. I have used Kieth Kertchner out the NW part of the US for other things, I suspect he could do what ever is required.
