    Hey lads, was out shooting clays yesterday and when I pulled the trigger it fired both barrels at the same time. Some bang off it. Fired another 40 or so after that with no problems. Should I be worried or was it just a once off?

    Sounds like one of the sear or mainsprings are getting weak,or are clagging up with dirt.Its a gunsmith job to check this properly.

    I agree with Grizz on this one - sounds as if crud got into the lock and the sear is either worn or most likely dirty. If you are a "newbie" get it looked at by a professional.

    Get it checked, any issues in relation to firearms and their safety should not be overlooked

    I'd deffo get it checked out then so, bring it to a gunsmith as it will have to be disassembled and insopected for wear.
