I bought a 28ga. CZ Ringneck last week and, finally got a chance to shoot it yesterday. It has the uncomfortable habit of fan firing on occasion...most of the time, if you're shooting low gun.
One of my shooting partners had the same thing happen with a CZ Ringneck he bought and fired for the first time last week.
Neither of us is new to the shooting game...both have shot hundreds of thousands of rounds out of every type and gauge shotgun around. Yes, I understand the physics of what's occuring... put the gun in a machine and it will work flawlessly. Also, the trigger pulls are atrocious..6.5Lbs and 8.5Lbs. respectively.
Has anyone else had this problem and did the company solve it for you?

Had a problem with both a 12 and a 28 several years ago, they worked fine on low base/mild skeet loads but both doubled on heavy dove loads. Called CZ,sent both guns in,10 days later the Big Brown Truck pulled up with 2 new guns, no questions, no hassle, no problems with the replcements. Best, Dr. Bill

Sorry for asking, but what is "fan firing" in a double?
Is like a slightly delayed doubling?
I knew of fanning a single action revolver but never
heard it before for a shotgun (which only goes to show
why I add AL "Always Learning" to my initials).

When a gun doubles, both barrels fire simultaneously. With fan firing, there is a millisecond delay. It has to do with how the single trigger resets for the second shot.

Sorry to hear that Tom. Go for the 28ga. bobwhite with double triggers and you won't have to worry about single trigger misfires.

"YGWYPF is that why you buy bottom feeder Spanish guns?"
I have enough high grade American doubles to fill my modest gun cabinet, thank you.
This question was about my bottom feeder Spanish double and its trigger problem.
Occasionally, it's nice to have a rainy day gun rather than drag a $7,500+ gun into the field.
I really don't have to justify my gun purchases to anyone.

Tom, I think he was directing that bottom feeder comment to Jim, not you. Your CZ (Huglu) is Turkish, not spanish.

The issue is most likely that the inertia weight (I'm assuming you have an inertia trigger) is not moving sufficiently to block the second (involuntary) pull. You might be able to "free up" the weight with some lube, a bit of cleaning, more shooting, or some stouter shells. If not, send it back. Unreliable single triggers are a PITA and the mechanisms can be real picky about adjustment.
