I have a stevens 335 16 ga that does that - it is a trigger malfunction and needs some work...

JPS; I had an old 12ga J Stevens, 325 I think, that started doing that, but only if you pulled the rear trigger first. Turned out either the pin for the sears or the hole in the sears (Or both) were worn & let the sear tails rub together. The right one set just higher than the left so it never caught the other, but the left one would. Knocked the sear pin out, put a little coil spring from a ball point pen between the sears to keep them pushed apart & it never happened again. I used it for close to 10yrs after that I guess.

Please don't discharge both barrels simultaniously with guns that are not specially designed for this. You will put double pressure on the gun's action, and while it probably won't kill you, it'll do the gun in very fast. If you think that a double-discharge 12 makes a good substitute for an 8, get yourself a proper canardouse, like that Verney-Carron (spelled right ), that has the weight and strength purposely built in to take that kind of abuse.

That is it exactly! I'll take off the stock and look and I imagine I'll be trying the pen spring repair.

Thanks,
