Sorry man, didn't remember your issue with it. I have been tracking this for sometime now, and I'm up to 14 documented doublings with Merkels, and a few even with bent triggers
No worries Jorge. Heck, I can't remember what I did yesterday half the time. Every trigger on every firearm I own has a bent trigger. I find bent triggers fit my finger much better and are more aesthetically appealing than straight ones.
Of the 14 documented, are any of those suspect, as in shooter error, or second or third hand? In other words, do you know how many from actual Merkel owners?
Also, of the 14 documented, do you know how many are still living with the doubling issue, or have they all been resolved?
I know I was counting as well for a while, but at the time I didn't think to ask where the information came from and don't remember how many instances were from actual owners.
I know mine was one, that's the only one I know of from an actual owner.
DF: I have not been able to discern between old and new, just raw numbers and one gent at DSC (I wish I could remember his name) that participated in a Big Bore gunshoot and the Merkel rep quietly folded up his wares after a couple of them doubled.
I haven't heard anything in the past year or so. I would find it rather odd that a firearms maker would not bother to rectify any deficiency once it came to light.
Can anyone tell me of one firearms manufacturer that hasn't had problems at one time or another? Some have been in business for well over a hundred years so you would think they would have a handle on production, but it still happens.
