Jerry--Those problems have been discussed previously, at length, on this very forum. Sorry if you've missed them. Start a new thread, if you wish . . . but most of us have heard the stories previously. Most of the time, the problems in question can be solved with a good cleaning. In my own case, I had a much more serious problem with a 28ga SST Repro. At one point, I could not get it to fire both barrels unless I selected the tighter one first. I have a friend who owns several Repros, has owned several SST Repros, had one of them converted to DT (wasn't happy with the conversion and sold it), but now won't buy a Repro unless it's factory DT. I won't either . . . unless maybe it's at an attractive enough price that if I do encounter problems and decide to trade or sell it (once the problem is solved, at least temporarily), it won't take me long and I won't lose any money.
I'd add that I'm a Repro fan, at least of the 28's and 12's. (I find the 20's overly heavy for field guns.) Show me one with DT at a decent price and I'm interested. Otherwise, no thanks.
