[QUOTE=Bruce Day;8076]
When was the last time the gun action was cleaned? Not since I've owned it. Only hunted with it 4-5 times and havent taken anything apart to clean interior mechanism's. Always scared of marring the screws or getting in way over my head. |

So, maybe 100 years ago?
There is a good gunsmith at Kiowa Creek Sporting Clays east of Denver. To reiterate cleaning from externally. Using the Rem Action cleaner tube, insertthe spray tube into the hammer nose holes in th e standing breech and spray a LOT in there. Spray around the trigger slots, a LOT. Stand the action stock up and pointing down, let it all run out and keep draining. Repeat the next day. Take the gun out and shoot it with the same loads that caused it to double before. If it still doubles, the action needs to come apart. If you want to try it fine, with caution and the right tools and using the disassembly instructions posted here many many times. If not, off to the gunsmith. By the way, Brian. I have had two guns that doubled. I clean my guns that get shot a couple times a year with Rem Action Cleaner as preventative medicine, so I don't have many problems. A PHE 16ga with about 60,000 to 80,000 rounds through it kept doubling and it was off to DelGrego who fixed it by recutting the sears. The second gun was a DHE 20/32 that doubled with 1 oz loads. Turned out to be merely gummed up and cleaning solved it. Almost all the time a gun is just gummed up unless its had a whole lot of rounds through it. When I first got the PHE some 40 years ago, of course I oiled the triggers and if some oil was good, more oil was better, so they gummed up badly and an old gunsmith ( the famous Rudy Kautzky ) gave me what for, and I've never done that again.

Bruce....as always, you're a wealth of information. Thank you.
And now that you've got me thinking of it, it may well have been 100 years ago that it was apart. SO, I'm off to get some Rem Action cleaner and do all my guns today while watching football and eating left over turkey. |

Brian,
I had that happen a couple times with a 10 gauge magnum. The phrase "get your attention" was very fitting. Mine had a hairline in the head of the stock that was putting pressure on something that didn't need any pressure. Destry

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.

However, if I pull the rear trigger first it only fires one barrel...then I could pull the front trigger if a second shot was needed. This got me thru the day and the hunt but now what???
