I have an SKB 100, that has developed trigger problems shooting lighter loads. If I shoot the right barrel first, the trigger wont set for the left barrel. However, if I shoot the left barrel first, all is well. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Have you had it apart to clean it? They need maintenance after a few years.
My Dad put a big, soft, Pachmayer pad on a Beretta Silver Snipe back in the mid 1960s, and said gun really didn't work well with light loads until the mid 1980s, after the pad hardened up a bit.


Best,
Ted

It may be worth checking that there's enough clearance between the sears and connector and look for any burrs that could stop them engaging correctly due to the lighter recoil. Maybe a drop of oil on the pivots could help too.
Hope this helps.

My 100 20 ga worked fine for a number of years... then it doubled. Gunsmith took it apart and cleaned it and smoothed a bur... it has been fine ever since (30 + years).

My 385 acted similar to yours and all it needed was a cleaning.

So take it appart, clean it and look for burs.
