Ferret Master Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 You should be worried when you have 2 3'' magnums do that to your shoulder at the same time rather than poxy little 28g. Oh, and get it checked out by a gunsmith. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'd get it looked at. I don't understand how a guns interals work, but if something isn't right I wouldn't use it again until it's been checked out. Maybe the recoil from the first shot released the hammer on the second barrel? If so, would it do the same if you knocked it on something as you were walking, or dropped it? You see where I'm coming from? get it sorted ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 It happened to me once with a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon. It happened when I closed the gun after loading. Fortunately (as always) I was in a cage with the gun pointing down range, but it made me jump. Also, as the gun wasn't mounted, the recoil rammed the locking lever (whatever it's called ) into the skin between my thumb and forefinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartinjock Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Get it checked out, my barrel selector/safety catch spring dropped off inside my Lanber 6 weeks ago, I had double barrel discharges and had difficulty in firing a shot with a single pull of the trigger, would take 2 pulls. Got it fixed free under warrenty as there is apparently an inherrent problem with them, sorted now though. If your gun is out of warrenty, it will cost about 20 quid to get fixed. Half an hour work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Some of these Continental made O/Unders will double discharge if, when waiting to fire the shooter starts clicking the barrel selector to top or bottom before he fires, often when in very cold weather, I have witnessed it on a few occasions over the las 15 years. I think sometimes the cold weather makes the internal lubrication thicken up, and cause both sears to disengage together....Before spending a lot of dosh, and time taking it in, try what I said, making sure you are in a place safe to do so, load/close the action click the selector, fire,..and see if it reacurs..?.

deer stalker Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 check the shear pin they might have worn. i had a gun once that did that but it did that when i closed it and no i did not pull the triggers luckerly it was just me and no one else was there not even the dog was there but i'll tell you it scared the **** out of my and that was just worn shear pins and partaly my folt because it had a manual saftey and i did not put it on after i had fired it.

Oh, and get it checked out by a gunsmith. FM I have a S/S 10 G that if you pull the back trigger first you get a double discharge for Geese, 2X 50 grms! Starlight calls it my family shot it has been known to happen by mistake once or twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soreshoulder Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 took it out rabbiting the other night, i was very wary and kept the gun open at all times unless to shoot (i usually have the gun closed and the barrles pointing in the air) and it didnt double discharge again and i fired 25 cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
