16 gauge help

[Aaron Beck]

Id pay a gunsmith to strip and clean it, then assess the parts for wear and adjust if needed.
it can also happen that your finger can cause the doubling on recoil and ive had this happen with gloves on. To troubleshoot this I would shoot the back trigger first and see if it persists. . goodluck

I’ve got a 16 gauge 0 grade top lever 30” gun that I shoot pretty well . Had it down at Old Forge last year and it doubled on me a couple times 3/4 of the way thru . I had a good round going until it doubled and it got in my head so the last 25 were not up to the first 75 . When I got in to the shop the next day the locks came off the file came out and the doubling was cured . I think six strokes on each lock and it was cured , never doubled since knock on wood .

Thanks
Yes I tried shooting the left barrel first and it did not double.
The previous owner had taken it apart and cleaned the locks.
Sounds like an easy fix for a competent gunsmith.
