Hamster Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 what would be the cause of both the barrels fireing on a double trigger side by side , when only one trigger is pulled. thanks Not being funny friend but it's obviously a mechanical malfunction of one sort or another, it just isn't the kind of thing you should tackle through advice on the net. I've seen this sort of thing on O/U guns too and although it's not inconceivable that too much dirt or grease is the cause, you really ought to get it looked at by an expert.

Frankbrickbats Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi before you get involved in mechanical solutions check your LOP. I have had double disscharging barrels and had the same frightening thought. The fact of the matter turned out to be a stock which was to long for me consequently squeasing the front trigger with an over extended finger, this sliped off through recoil onto the rear trigger discharging the second, it can also happen if your fingers are frozen/cold, give it a thought if you have not allready. Good luck with it Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Did you definitely pull the front trigger? Some are designed to fire both if you pull back one first :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) It shouldnt cost a bomb - less than £100. How badly do you want to avoid shooting someone? As it wears further, it will go off when you close it so do be sure to observe full safety routine everytime. Yep gunsmith to be sure.

bedwards1966 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd be concerned and get it checked out, it shouldn't fire both barrels together - period. My dad had a gun which started doing that once, and then it started coming open when fired. It was immediately taken to a gunsmith, life's too short to take chances with these things.
