Edit: this thread is from 4 years ago, but I have added a post on the end. I was finally able to make it a DT gun, and explained how that happened.



I have an Oklahoma duck and quail hunt coming up week after next, and have been planning all along to use my 626 Onyx. The gun fits me really well and had never given me any sort of problem until yesterday. I shot a few clays and suddenly the inertial triggers would not reset. I didn't notice anything different about the gun until I just didn't have a second shot. Either barrel will shoot if I manually move the selector, but it will not reset itself no matter which barrel I shoot first.

I pulled the action and soaked it in kerosene, blew out using the air compressor, and then added a light coating of CLP. That changed nothing. So I found a couple of videos of o/u guns that use inertial triggers and tried to better understand how it's supposed to work, then pulled the stock and pulled the trigger several times.

Homeless Joe will be glad to tell you that I am dumb, but I will admit I don't understand how this thing is supposed to work. And that I can't see it work is not giving me any clues as to what is wrong with it. I was going on a trip this morning that took me right by my gunsmith, so I tried to drop it off there. He was closed and it looked like he's been closed for several days.

So my only hope of being able to carry my favorite gun on my hunt is if some kind soul here can spot what is wrong and tell me how to fix it. I've done a good bit of amateur gunsmithing, but I can't understand how this thing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is there anyone on earth that could convert this to a DT gun? I suspect it would take fabricating some parts, but I'd be willing to pay a lot more than what most people would think reasonable. This would be the perfect shotgun for me if it only had 2 triggers.

This is a picture after the right barrel would have fired.

I have converted them to double trigger in the past with parts from Cole Gunsmithing. I am not sure but seem to remember they no longer offer the parts or the conversion option. Might be worth a call though. Fabricating parts becomes costly very quick.

Thanks, but I already checked with them. They said they didn't have any parts to convert a sxs; only o/u guns. But if you were able to get a 626 converted, then that's very helpful to know that it's possible. There must be parts somewhere.

Does it look even remotely like this trigger group?

My mistake.....I did not look or read close enough. The Beretta I converted was an O/U. I apologize for mis-leading you.

I guarantee it can be fixed easily by Rich Cole. He doesn't like working on 62X series guns, but if you beg, he will.

Yea but he's going on a hunt in 2 weeks and he'll probably never get it back in time.

There's a lot of differences, but also a lot of similarities. That video was very helpful and gives me confidence that I could fix it if I could just understand what is wrong with it. It has to be something fairly simple associated with the inertial block, but I can't figure out what it could be. My gun has springs similar to the ones they changed in the video, but they aren't broken. They said that one of those springs being broken was a common cause of a 686 having the same problem I am, but I've got a different issue.

SKB, no problem on the DT issue. I kinda suspected that you misunderstood me because I don't think Beretta ever made a 626 with DT. Someone please correct me if that is wrong.

And thanks for the recommendation on Cole's, though I hate to hear he doesn't like to work on the 626. I think my local guy can fix it if I can catch up with him, but it's good to know I can ship it to Cole if I have to do it.

Philip can fix it no sweat and if he will let you visit the time will be less than 30 m. If you are in TX he is north of Tyler about 30 miles. Call him at 210-313-5988. He ias the best I have ever seen!

Thanks for the info. What is his last name, or the name of the business?
