silpig5 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 double discharge needs a look at before you use it again mate , imho you dont want it going off when you dont expect it . get it checked out before next outing ,pays to be safe every time .

super sharp shooter Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I had the same thing with my web and Scott not sure why it did it. The shop said that I was pulling the trigger twice. Did the shots go off at the same time or close together?

ayano3 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Double discharges hurt if youre taking a high bird, I can vouch for that!!! The usual problem is worn Sears/Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1419 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I would be taking it to a good gunsmith in your area to have it checked out/repaired.its not what you want to be happening at all-never mind just the odd time.---Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis1979 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 thanks for the replys lads ,ill get itchecked into sporting supplies asap ,would things like that be picked up on a service or in with a service ,just curious never had it done anyway ,thanks again lads stu Getting it checked is always good advice but as the guy is not very experienced did he have it in his shoulder properly as this can cause both barrels to go, brother has the same thing with his baikel.

TaxiDriver Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 The OP says he used the gun all morning without problems, ? then his friend used it and had the problems, So he used another gun. The OP then used the gun again without any further problems ? Sounds more likely that it's 'Operator error' in some way, ie poor mounting techinique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
