Many single trigger designs include a bobweight to either block a "bounce fire" or switch the trigger to the other sear. I'm not familiar with the Repro single trigger mechanism, but I'd be willing to bet your problem has to do with the weight not returning when the gun is pointed up. That could conceiveably be from dried grease restricting movement as Kenny suggests.

Best to consult a gunsmith familiar with the Repro single trigger.

Bill,

I'm new to single triggers. My cousin gave me her fathers Parkers and one of them has a Miller single trigger. I paid big bucks to have it work and it still fires both barrels most of the time when the left barrel is selected. One thing I was told is that most old single trigger problems relate to tension on the tang screws. I was at a friends house this past weekend and was handed an AYA that would not fire the left barrel. I could see the rear tang screw was not indexed. I took it home and indexed that screw and tighteden the top tang screw one full turn. It would fire the right barrel but not the left. Backed off the top tang screw one half turn and proceeded to run a half a box of shells through the gun without a hickup. I hope you find the problem.

Harry

I was alway's under the impression that the Repro single trigger was a copy of the Parker two screw single trigger.
