utectok Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Went out this morning after the crows as they are bad on a new sowing. Had my first double discharge shot about 6 or 7 K through the gun (Beretta 686) never happened before. Stripped the action down afterwards and cleaned it with petrol and re oiled it. It looked pretty good to me although I didn't drop out the trigger group to check in more detail. Needles to say 64gms of lead was enough for the 50yrd crow but just ondered if I should expect this to happen more now or was it just a bit of grit on the sears or something. Im pretty sure the gun has not fired many shots when I bought it as it was immaculate. Any ideas? Straight shootin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA-airgunner Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 try a hot shower and deap heat on the shoulder.......as for the gun ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 The sears can wear on a Beretta as any gun but, I have not seen one 'double' unless there was a problem of some sorts..... You didn't say when you cleaned it, if it was full of crud? If not, if it does it again, take it to a decent ( aslo one with a GMK account) 'smith that you trust to check out the action.

Cranfield Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 It would be worth getting it looked at, it could be the sears are wearing. Its my experience with double dischage, if it happens once, it will happen at least twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I had a 36g and a 32g go off at the same time in a quick mount snap shot out of my AYA Yeoman sbs... and I weigh less than 9 stone. You can imagine the rest. It's not happened since and I have shot a round of clays with it so I'm hoping it was a one off touch wood.

utectok Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 seemed pretty clean bit of grime in the fuel after id tooth brushed it down but not to bad not black or anything just a misting on the bottom of the pan. I thought guns would do 50k carts or so before the sears wore? Fired two pairs after the double and went fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Its my experience with double dischage, if it happens once, it will happen at least twice. And when it happens the second time, you won't know where the barrels are pointing. Take it to a gunsmith before you use it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 shot about 100 carts through it heavies and light loads not a problem. On closer inspection in the left petrol I notice some grit in the tin perhaps some sand stopped the sears engaging properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Double discharge is usualy a worn sear . I would not use the gun again until it was looked at by a competant gunsmith . Depending on how the safety engages, a trigger can come off the sears at any time if it is worn . Think of what could happen . Harnser .

magman Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Also make sure the selective switch is not in the middle , as i can get a gun i own to discharge both barrels if i wish Not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Harnser thanks for the tips but surley it would take more than 6-10 thou shot to wear the sears? Gun had shot hundreds when I got it and I have shot about Seven thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Under normal conditions a guns sears should last the lifetime of the gun . But your one could have a fault from the manufacturing stages . perhaps one of the sears was badly made or not hardend properly or not profiled properly, who knows ? but faults do happen in the best products on the market ,cars ,t.v. washingmachines ect . Take it to a gunsmith for peace of mind and have it checked out or you will be worrying when it will happen again ,this will not do your shooting any good . I wouldnt want to shoot with you knowing you had a gun with a fault on one of the sears . Best of luck . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
