Do you know if the trigger ever worked properly? As in is the maker one that makes things that work?
Side by Side Trigger
I won an old Spanish SxS in an auction. I tore down the triggers and found this:

The gun would sometimes double Fire, not Fire a barrel, left I believe, or only Fire after depressing the trigger multiple times. I live in northern IL, and I’m looking for options on where to send this in for possible work, if it’s worth it ($150 or under is my guess). Any information on possible places to contact for trigger work are appreciated.
Thanks!

The part you would need made / duplicated looks similar to this picture.

I'm changing my opinion & believe it could be a brass casting. You can see this is not just a flat bar but the entire right trigger.
Is the part magnetic? If not its most likely brass. The dowel pins look more like old nails rather than dowel pins, not even round.
If your looking for a DIY project silver solder the crack & hang it on wall. Chances are it was the marvelous machining of the pins & or bad casting that caused the failure in the first place.

I'd buy a brass wash on steel... hadn't really thought of that option.

Ditto. Good trigger parts are hardened, at least in critical areas like sear surfaces.

They pretty much make the tristars look like Perazzi in a quality comparison.
Yet all the SXS purists have to have a Spanish SXS. There may be great Spanish double barrels out there. But you cannot prove by any gunsmith that has ever worked on those things.
When a Spanish shotgun stops working make it into wall art. That is the best and most often given advice. For the money in repairs to get one through an active day of bird hunting buying a brand new Perazzi would be saving money big time.

My Basque made AYA 56 20g is a marvelous gun, light in the field & quite deadly on our feathered friends.
The 56 has a reinforced receiver (wider) for competition. Wonderful locks & easily accessible firing pins should one break either on the line or afield.
Like any manufacturers guns from makers abroad quality varies. Then there a those like this subject gun that appears to be fashioned from abandoned BBQ parts.
AYA Locks.
