Gerry78 Posted Monday at 16:45 Report Share Posted Monday at 16:45 (edited) 5 hours ago, Poor Shot said: Sorry Gerry, you've been lied to or mislead. 725 is mechanical and with two pulls of the trigger you get two clicks (or bangs) regardless of what's in the chamber. I didn't try it when I had a 725 Pro Sport but it would likely have fired a pair of blanks with no issue. It fired 16g Laylvale express ultra lights with no problem and they had PCP air rifle levels of recoil. It did often have an issue firing the bottom barrel though, not because of light recoiling cartridges but because the design was **** and the bottom firing pin made of cheese resulting in light strikes. If you were to then put that cartridge into the top barrel for the next pair it would fire no apparently browning has improved the pivot point in the trigger mechanism 825 Sorry poor shot was passing on what 2 owners of pro sports were told by a gunsmith you would know a lot more than me having owned a 725 pro sport If you get the time watch YT Matt of east field guns reviews the new 825 pro sport and remarks about the 725 trigger mechanism *********** put out a post about it as well Edited Monday at 17:29 by Gerry78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all are O/U’s, single trigger and all that lark, so why get it? Is it the same as some people who want to have the newest cars, or motorbikes? Will it shoot any different to a 525? No but it will be HP steel proofed which will be needed before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 725 pro sport was HP steel proofed but 2 3/4" chambers only. I'm not sure why as 2 3/4" HP steel cartridges must be quite rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliedog Posted Monday at 17:53 Report Share Posted Monday at 17:53 1 hour ago, steve1066 said: Hi Poor shot, I would agree with you light loads have nothing to do with a gun that has a mechanical trigger. I have owned and shot a Prosport for 6 years now, I have not had a problem with my gun shooting either bottom or top consecutively, what I did find was even the slightest holding of the trigger after the first shot could hinder the second shot going off, so have learnt to release the trigger fully before pulling again for the second shot and have not had an issue since. But shortly there will be a PW member who will come along and say they are not fully mechanical but partly inertia. 😂 It is odd as you can dry fire a 725 and it will swap to the next barrel with no inertia from a cartridge whatsoever, i have owned a 725 for 7 years and never missed a beat with any cartridge load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many visits to gunsmiths including it's makers UK importer have failed to pin it down as it only ever plays up with live shooting (even with 21g loads) - never with snap caps.

JohnfromUK Posted Monday at 19:18 Report Share Posted Monday at 19:18 7 minutes ago, steve1066 said: Hi John Which make and model is this gun? It's an AyA Senior from circa 1980s. Non selective single trigger, but it's not AyA's usual type I'm told. The Senior model is a very low production model and this is unique in having a factory single trigger.

I keep both eyes open until ready to pull the trigger then close left. If shooting trap then close left from the start As my eyes are getting a bit worse I’ve started to have a bit of trouble flitting between the two… good to know this may be worth a go.

When I first had it - it was fairly good. It's all a bit 'off topic' for here, but just really illustrating that some mechanical triggers can behave perfectly when no recoil - but play up when recoil present. My personal preference is always for double triggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
