Why do people think this is a pigeon gun, or a gun made to shoot live pigeons?
Rocketman: the proof for the "smaller gun for a smaller pigeon shooter" idea seems pretty thin. Do we have any other evidence other than wild conjecture? I think it is far more likely that the no-safety, long bbled 20 gauges were made as duck guns. BTW: that DHE 20g with 34" bbls at Julia's weighs 8lbs - way to much gun for someone looking to scale down.
Smallbore, how did you know the 16g pigeon guns you saw were actually made for competitive live pigeon shooting? Did they letter that way? What features did they have?
Thanks
