Double mis-fire!!

[Don Kaas]

I hate to disagree with Brother Day but unlike single trigger guns, a double trigger gun doubling is rarely caused by dirt. Much more often it is a wear in the sear engagement or wood interference. As Bruce says, take it to a gunsmith. I have had a bad year of doubling guns, first a Parker D grade top lever and then an Ithaca NID 10ga Magnum (that gets your attention...5 times 2...yes, I am an idiot) Both times happened with Destry...imagine that? Both times a faulty sear engagement as well as wood issues on the Ithaca.

The PGCA "Doubles Medals" are in the mail to each of you. If Russ has had a doubling problem, he will receive another medal also.

I have a vh 16 ga. that is doing that, we had it to a local gunsmith and though it had been repaired. unfortunately it has not. I'm amazed it has not blown up in either my dad's face or mine since it has happened multiple times. It also has some other issues too, one is that the safety spring was broken, we robbed one out of one of other parkers ( my son wanted to shoot it for the annual pheasant hunt. we thought the gun was ok to shot at that time, after replacing the spring we found out different) and two after disassembly we found that the pin that puts the safety back to safe after gun is opened was missing, or is it a opinion that parker guns have? I guess from reading this post its best this gun finds a good smith that know parkers well and the sears. also thanks for the post on how to disassemble the parker.
