Most of the Parker Repops are nearing 40 years of age, at this point. My own opinion (free!) is, that when we hear of a gun misfiring, there is a pretty good chance it is a Parker Repop. But, in fairness, it is past time for most of them to have a strip and clean.
Pretty extensive group of names who can do the job will come up right here, with just a little searching.
Good luck.
Best,
Ted

Quite a few of the 28 bore Parker Reproductions WITH SINGLE TRIGGERS develop this problem. I have see it many times. I imagine that, by now, parts are getting scarce as well.

Probably needs trigger out and a good cleaning.

If you are in north east TX, see Philip's Gunsmithing. He is about 30 mile north of Tyler. He is the best metal man I have used in 50 years of looking. I am sure he can handle this. Call

Classic Gunstocks (Dan May and Ken Waite) fixed a Miller Single trigger on a Parker. Not sure if their expertise extends to Repros, but they did a great job

Richard Skeuse, a son of Tom Skeuse - the man behind the Parker Reproduction project reported on the PGCA forum that they recommend Chris Maest of Clay Target Sports in Princeton, NJ 609/921-9358 for any doubling problems with their guns.

I've owned several Repros in various gauges, including 28. Only issues I've ever had with a ST came as a result of poor gunsmithing on a couple of the guns. But I never experienced any of them doubling.
