Well, whatever the Parker mechanism happens to be, has anyone had failures like I've described? 3 highly recommended gunsmiths have "fixed" the gun including the experts at Miller Triggers. Just trying to figure out if I'm contributing to the problem. Thanks, Bill

Dewey Vicknair fixed my SST issue. After 3 doubling incidents, I figured it was time for a pro to look at it! Dewey said there was a cast piece in the system that was not fitted properly. He fit (fitted?) the part and fired a box of cartridges without any failures. He did everything he could, but was unable to produce a 'double'. Good Luck!

William;
It could very well be the way you hold the gun. With that said Dewey is a master at triggers and everything else with doubleguns. Tell him Daryl sent you. 717-626-4226. You WON'T be disappointed.

Before sending it off, here's what I would do, (you may need a few boxes of shells):

1. Shoot the gun, making absolutely sure it's firmly held into your shoulder pocket and your trigger finger pulls once, released and then pulled again for the 2nd barrel. If it doesn't double, your technique was faulty when it did double. If it doubles, go to step 2.

2. Have another experienced shotgunner(s) shoot your gun to see if it doubles for them, too. If it doesn't double for them, you're the cause. If it doubles for them, your gun has a mechanical problem. Go to step 3.

3. Seek professional help.
