Problem with BRNO 571 O/U shotgun
I have a BRNO 571 12 gauge O/U shotgun that I bought here a few months ago. It has a single trigger, first pull fires bottom barrel, second pull fires top barrel.
I fired 12 rounds of 2 3/4 #8 shot -- 6 pairs of shells. Three times both barrels went off with a single pull of the trigger.
Anyone familiar with this gun and have ideas about what might be wrong? The gun is in like new condition - the action is very stiff and I doubt that the gun has been fired much, if any, before this.

Grease on the sear. Clean the action. 0 -
someone sprayed the gun with WD 40 and gummed up the inertia block to swap barrel sear release or just gunked up action. Clean and use proper oil = easiest fix[:)] weak spring or worn sear nose = need good gunsmith [:(]. even great makers of firearms can have problems with this type of trigger Peter Capstick in one of his books related how one african White hunter had a double rifle made by Holland & Holland in 600 nitro express on hunting trip fire both barrels with one pull of trigger. Broke the hunters shoulder. Hunter sent gun back by ship many months later rifle returned by ship after REPAIR same white hunter same double rifle next time hunting SAME results broken shoulder that had just healed up[:(!][V]. Moral when you or someone else attemps to fix. load one barrel 5 times and shoot pulling the trigger one time then pull the trigger the second time to see if other hammer is still cocked and you hear click then try same test by loading only other barrel 10 bangs followed by 10 clicks [:D]. any Bang followered by no click send to BETTER GUNSMITH. 0
