Conversion of SST to double triggers

[Dean Romig]

Hello John,

It is possible to convert a SST Repro to a DT setup but you will not have a safety. The SST and DT variants use a completely different safety mechanism and the SST safety is incorporated in the single trigger mechanism and the stock of a SST gun is mortised to a much greater extent to allow for the much larger mechanism.... in other words, there is not enough wood in the necessary spot to allow for mounting the smaller safety mechanism of the DT style.

Not mention that you will need a floor plate complete with triggers and trigger spring floor plate and double trigger sear's. I just did this conversion on a original Parker and Dean iscorrect...no safety

Dave, can you start another thread and tell us how and why you did this conversion?

Thank you gentlemen for your response. I have become frustrated with finding a DHE Reproduction DT 12 ga with 28" barrels. In talking to a gunsmith that did some repair work on one of my DHE Reproduction 28 gauges, I asked the question about conversion and frankly was pleased but surprised that he said it could be done. However, in my ignorance I did not ask what might happen to other working parts of the shotgun if the conversion took place. Not having a safety is a problem for me. It is one thing to be in hunting by myself for turkey or ducks, but in a duck blind with other hunters well.......
