What is your pigeon gun?

I have shot quite a bit of hand-thrown birds, and somewhat less box birds. For the most part, i shot a Superposed Lightning, w 32” Broadway Trap barrels, choked light modified bottom and light full top. Ejectors wouldnt work with the trap barrels. I have no idea what the stock dimensions were other than LOP which was a scosch under 15”, but also pretty high. It had a gorgeous white line pad. The non automatic safety had a tiny hole drilled in the safety tab (by me), and a pretty little hex head set screw installed, fixing the safety in the off/under position. Guess the gun weighed just under 8 lbs. and was a tad barrel heavy.

I just got mine at the beginning of this year as it was being restored by Brad Bachelder, it is a Greener Pigeon grade gun with 30" M/F Damascus barrels with a non auto safety. The gun when I got it was a mess, some idiot had cut the stock comb to put an adjustable comb (with polished chrome rods) on it, a Morgan full adjustable aluminum recoil pad with recoil reducer in the stock, a beavertail forend that looked like a two by four, and oh I almost forgot, he "Hot Blued" the barrels! Two years later after Brad got it, it is one beautiful gun. I didn't get to shoot it at the Medford pigeon ring as we got rained out but did shoot it on the 5 stand and it preformed well. It's a neat gun that I was glad to be able to save.
I have never shot live pigeons, but it's something I would like to try someday.

My dedicated live pigeon gun for box birds is a PHE Trap with 30" full and full barrels, vent rib, and a crossover stock and splinter forend. My Columbaire gun is the same PHE with 26" IC and IM barrels. This is a Pennsylvania gun with the standard issue Miller trigger in the front position.

You are right Bill, Howard Miller was a fixture at many of the PA. shoots and many of the shooters wanted the reliable Miller trigger installed often non-selective.
