Just left Lehigh Valley. My dad's gun (CZ Redhead O/U) has never caused us any problems, but today, 3 separate times he pulled the trigger and the gun made a huge bang. So he waited a few seconds, opened the action, and both shells ejected and were spent. So with one pull of the trigger, the gun fired both barrels. Anyone know some potential causes of this?

Call CZ?

Call CZ?

 

What Vlad said. Single trigger right? Probably an inertia set-up and ....I really don't want to speculate. Back to CZ...

Yeah, single selective trigger. I guess I wanted to double check to see if user error was a possibility, but with a single trigger, I guess there's not much the shooter could do that would cause that to happen.

The way it works is both hammers are cocked and the first trigger fires and the inertia sets the trigger to the second hammer. Bad expalation but if you want to tinker remove the stock clean and lube everything and take it out and try it. It won't work I don't think on a dry fire. So take it to the range.

Dirt and grime could be one factor. A worn or soft sear could be another reason, jarred by the recoil of the first round being fired. If the sear is worn, you stand the risk of the gun going off should it drop and hit a hard surface when the safety is off. Best to have it checked by a CZ professional as others have noted.

parker said what I was thinking Ive seen that with a lc smith .another possibility are you bumping the trigger under recoil
