Hi, I am still looking for options on where to repair the Ford and you mention that youhad a single trigger repaired by TT Proctor. Would you mind letting me have contact details so I can approach him. Thanks, Hillside 1945

Thanks for that John. My problem is that the gun has seen no action all this time and to have an expensive item sitting in the cabinet is just not good sense. I have been chasing "contacts" most of this morning with the aim of finding someone who knows what to do. Hoping... Thanks

Thank you all very much for the advice. Interesting that no one mentioned sell and cut my losses. As a next step I will try to find a single trigger expert. Thanks again. I'll let you know how I get on.

​I have owned my 12 guage side by side William Ford about a year. At the end of the last shooting season the single trigger began to misfire, and since then I have had it at my local gunsmith for repair. ​They eventually improved the trigger from misfiring every time, to about 4 in 10--an improvement but still not right. I am now being advised that they cannot make any more adjustments as the fault is likely to be on the tumbler, the spring or both. They explained that after the first fire, the single trigger does not appear to be at the "return" point to allow it to pick up the next barrel. (remember that this explanation is from a "non techie"). ​I don't want to scrap the gun because of cost , so I thought that someone at Pigeon Watch could offer me advice or suggest a next step. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks.

Hello. I have just seen your message. I live in Dunstable and would like to do some pigeon shooting in the area. I am free most days and have nets posts decoys etc if needed. Can you let me know what is available and where. Thanks.

Thanks everyone that's really useful. I think I am beginning to realise there is no fixed rule to this issue. Happy shooting.

I have been shooting for about 4 years, starting at my local shooting ground using various brands of 71/2 cartridges.Over the last couple of years I have developed a passion for pigeons and I use mainly 6 's . However the more I try to improve my skill and knowledge, I am finding that there appears to be contrasting information when it comes to using the correct cartridge size for pigeons. I found a back article in Shooting UK (2016) recently which showed comments from 11 shooting experts including Digweed, Garfitt, Parffitt and others recommending to use cartridges of 5, 6, 7/12 with various choke sizes. For pigeons and Game I shoot a William Ford Sidelock 12g. at cyl and full, and an AYA 12g 400E at 1/4 and 3/4, both side by sides. As an investment I have a Stephen Grant 12g,dated 1896. I buy my cartridges usually depending on price, but after visiting my local gunshop today I now have size 6 at 32gram.My previous supply was 6 at 28gram. Can anyone throw some light on what is the best cartridge to use. Thanks. Hillside 1945

What size cage? I have labrador size. Geoff

I am looking for a hand guard for side by side 12 gauge shotgun. I have seen them by H and H in leather but £75 so hoping for something cheaper. Maybe a glove would do the job. Any ideas?

Been visiting the same field for last 2 weeks. On first visit I lifted about 2/300 and after setting up and waiting for a return, nothing came back. Every 3 or 4 days I do the same thing but I still have had no luck. I think there may a lot of Rape in this area of South Beds which offer lots of feeding so I will keep trying. I would like the opportunity to maybe visit some new area in Cambridge where I hear the birds are on the brussels. Does anyone one know If there are any opportunities to buy odd days of shooting in the area. Hillside 1945
