Very light trigger pull

[Jlott]

I was at the Vintagers in September and when shooting my 12ga I noticed the left hammer had a very light trigger pull. In fact, at one point it went off when I was just putting my finger into the 2nd trigger while moving to the second target.

So that leads me to this problem. I have taken the locks off and one is very clean, the other, the left lock, the one with the light trigger pull, was rusty/dirty.

Hopefully, in the pictures, you can see the difference.

I did clean it up some.

It looks like the sear on the lock is worn, I'll post some pictures shortly.

(the lower picture refuses to stand upright I think I tried 10 times to upload it, even rotated the photo to no avail)

I had a grade 0 or 1 16 gauge 30” that doubled a couple times . My gunsmith buddy took it apart and took about three strokes with a file put it back together and the problem was solved . FWIW he deepened the hammer notch .

Jim,
the key to keeping your pictures upright is to edit them before uploading to the Parker forum, I generally just adjust the shadow and my pictures are always upright.

I'm interested in your findings, I acquired a Nichols & Lefever 8 gauge hammer gun that was doubling for me while playing around on the 5 stand at the Fall SXS

Now that gets your attention, 3 oz's of lead departing at one time

When cocking my left hammer, there's barely any confirmation of the hammer being cocked, I'm guessing the sear may be worn?
