I have 5 and one has given me trouble (a well used 16/20 combo. The original owner (a prominent member of PGCA) had accuglassed the tang to avoid compression of the wood. I found that by keeping the screws tight and by cleaning and lubing (once) I have had about 1000 rds trouble free so far. I do it myself following the takedown instructions posted elsewhere on this site. Takes about an hour all told and saves mea ton of money

I'll second Dan May's good trigger work.

In my case, it was on a factory Ithaca NID single trigger grade 3E. Gunter Pfrommer had restocked it since the stock was broken and badly modified by hacks, and he also refinished all the metal, converted it from pistol grip/splinter to staight stock/BTFE .

All was fine for a little bit with the gun, but after a while the gun was doubling. I posted over on the doublegun forum a year or so ago and Dan May responded and said he could work on this design. The trigger was an old Ithaca copy of an earlier Miller. I just got it back a few days ago and shot it this weekend. It never missed a beat. I changed the barrel selector position everytime I reloaded the gun, since the doubling seemed to be tied to the selector movement before. Dan May did a great job.
