O/U firing both barrels at once

[TrackerG]

My son just killed a turkey with my old Ruger Red label 20 gauge and it fired both barrels at once.

Has anyone experienced this and/or know what might have caused it and how to prevent it?

Sounds like you must have had it in Longbeard mode!

Send it to Ruger they will take care of you.

Common issue. Take the stock off and clean the mechanism good. Grease it back up with quality gun grease.
