Live Pigeon Guns

[Pay Dirt]

What are the attributes that make a B25 a live bird gun?



Long barrels?
Tight chokes?
Trap like patterns?
Modest weight versus target weight?
Field dimensions?

Please, do tell.

Ya, ya, I know.
It’s not Midas grade.

My Peruvian buddy in NOVA tells me one is better with shorter barreled gun for Colombaire something from possibly 27-29 inches . The little I’ve seen of box birds it seems to me a 30-32 inch trap doubles gun would be fine . I’ve shot both with the same DH 32” 2 frame no safety gun . My Peruvian buddy also says M or even IC for the first barrel at Colombaire .

This sounds like a Perezzi MX8 bunker gun (except there IS a safety). Flat shooting, 29.5" barrels, bottom with a choke tube top fixed F or XP. I have a hot ass for one of those. Saw one recently for sale and it was perfect and fit me, just didn't have that kind of cash in my front pocket...

My Peruvian buddy also told me do not take a gun with a movable safety into a big shoot in Europe or South America and set it in the rack as one of your fellow competitors will move it . You need a gun with no safety be it from the factory that way or either removed or locked down .
