Jim,
the key to keeping your pictures upright is to edit them before uploading to the Parker forum, I generally just adjust the shadow and my pictures are always upright.

I'm interested in your findings, I acquired a Nichols & Lefever 8 gauge hammer gun that was doubling for me while playing around on the 5 stand at the Fall SXS

Now that gets your attention, 3 oz's of lead departing at one time

When cocking my left hammer, there's barely any confirmation of the hammer being cocked, I'm guessing the sear may be worn?

When the hammers are cocked you should be able to wiggle the triggers ever so slightly without setting them off . The back trigger on the 16 I had was solid no wiggle , a couple strokes of the file and the wiggle was back and no more double fire .
