Default Cause

Yesterday after all these years my Parker began to double about every third or fourth shot. What would be a most probable cause for this? Thanks for help. Gerald.

Probably just needs a good cleaning.

Single trigger or double?

If it's a ST check your top tang screw to see if still tight. Doesn't take much to make them double sometime.

It's a double trigger VH 12ga 1914. It appears to never been taken apart.

I am thinking about removing the stock and spraying the receiver good with carb cleaner and blowing it out good with compressed air. Then repeating with WD40. Anyone with advise about this? Gerald

Gerald: I look forward to other responses to your idea for “blowing it out”.

As for me, the biggest downside for me will be: the risk I will bugger screws when taking off the stock to get access into the receiver.

Next, I think the Parker mechanism deserves more care than a blowing out. This is not a Remington 1100 (where I would do that, and have had to in the field when crud accumulated and disabled the trigger).

So, I would be hand carrying mine to the gunsmith in my state with the best reputation.

But of course, if you proceed with a blowing out...then I want to know how it goes for you. I am intensely interested.

John
