Gary, How long have you owned the gun and how long ago did it start doubling?
Was it gradual or did it start doubling immediately every time you shot it? .

I've owned the gun about four years. I bought it second hand had the same problem on the clays range the first time I shot it. I returned it to the dealer and thought it was fixed. I did shoot about ten or twelve test shots without a problem after the repair but I recently took it pheasant hunting and had the doubling problem on the first and subsequent flushes. Glad I brought my 1903 backup "Elsie"on the hunt. BTW had a great hunt except for the doubling!

Gary,
How familiar are you to shooting single trigger SxS's ? I've had several friends over the years complain about doubling issues. Every time they fired the gun it would double, then when I would shoot it I couldn't get it to double. I'm not saying this is the problem, but you might want to have someone else shoot the gun to confirm the doubling issue. With that said: This is one of the most common issues with single trigger SxS's, along with them only shooting one barrel & the trigger not switching to the second one. If you need a gunsmith. Make sure you send it to someone who knows single triggers. A smith not familiar with them can do more harm than good. |

I am very familiar and comfortable with SST and have shot them almost exclusively over the years. My 16g Parker Reproduction is a SST and displays no issues.
Can anyone provide contact info on a reputable gunsmith familiar with Parker Reproduction single triggers? Thx to all. |
