It looks like in UK by the 1883 season, according to Holt's shooting calendar, the weight of pigeon guns was limited to 7lbs 8 Oz according to the Hurlingham Club rules..by far the most influential club in England:



This was advertised by several pigeon gun makers, most notably Reilly who won the majority of matches in 1882:


There are several posts on DGS of Cyril Adams' Reilly pigeon guns (at least one line about an important historical pigeon gun was unfortunately deleted because of graffiti smeared all over the line by the usual suspects)..I believe Adams' Reilly were all originally Hurlingham weight.
