Reproduction Trigger

[Reproman]

My first two Repros were ST guns and both doubled routinely. Out of frustration I sold them both and bought a Repro with double triggers, even though I'd never shot DTs in my life. Now I wouldn't even consider a single trigger side by side!

Given your experience with DT guns, and my experience with ST Repros, I recommend you stick to double triggers! Resale value is better as well, if that's any consideration.

I have had doubling experience with one repro single trigger and two late Rem Parker single triggers which I believe the repro trigger was patterned after. In all three cases the doubling resulted from the selector not properly seating in the L or R detent. There is a small cross pin that retains the selector and detent spring which can work loose and prevent full movement of the selector. Even the smallest misalignment of the selector will cause the trigger mechanism to trip both sears simultaneously. You must remove the stock to examine this condition and make sure the pin is not contacting wood. I hope this helps.

Thanks, everybody! I see that the double trigger guns fetch more money, but it will be worth it in the long run. Cheers!

To answer your other question, yes, the triggers and the guard on the pictured gun are a bit rough. Even high quality gunmakers sometimes (often) don't finish and sculpture their triggers and guards as we would if we were building the gun. Even those who are hired to upgrade and engrave our guns often don't pay attention to such details. It is our job to pay extra and insist on attention to such things.
