Frenchieboy Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I went out to do a bit of crow shooting today with my Baikal SxS only to find that it has developed what could be a serious and dangerous problem. When a crow came over I let rip with the right hand barrel and nearly found myself toppled backwards off my seat as the gun let both barrels go together. I tied again at the next crow that came over and exactly the same thing happened - when I fired the right hand barrrel it let rip with both barrels at the same time. If I fire the left barrel first all is well and the right barrel stays in tact ready for when I want to fire it. I have removed the stock so that I can get at and see the trigger mechanism and I have given it a good clean and oil but I can not see any parts that are showing any signs of unusual wear. Has anyone else ever experienced this and if so what did they do about it or is it a job for a gunsmith. In my opinion unless something can be done the gun is classed as dangerous and should have to be scrapped unless I can find and repair the problem!

wymberley Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, One picture is w....... Yep, all being well, a cost effective gunsmith job which he will have done a thousand times before. The recoil of the first shot is firing the worn sear in the other lock mechanism this means they don't actually fire together although it seems like it. If they did, you really would be on your backside. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Can you just swop the sears round and while your at it take a diamond file to the worn sear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Don't go altering sear contact points unless you know how, give it to someone who can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I like tinkering with guns but triggers sear and saftey parts should ALWAYS go to a gunsmith it wont cost much but much less than loosing a bit of you. Just like you I enjoy "tinkering" with my guns but after carefull thought and a long chat to a mate I have decided that your advice is the best so far and exactly what I will do! I would hate the thought of trying to adjust a trigger mechanism or part and finding that the gun went off fo no apparent reason at a later date and maybe frightened someone to death - or even worse?

mfletch Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 More expensive guns have a second intercepting sears so if the gun does go off the hammer is stopped by the second sear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
