Made the light weight guns with a skeletonized stock and tiny mini splinter for ends? Most of the stock wood was carved away leaving only the recoil load bearing portions of the stock with full dimensions. Some of these guns may have been 2” 12b guns. I just have forgotten the maker’s name in my old age. Thank you, guys!

Not my cup of tea, but somebody liked the idea. Notice tiny forend, scalloped stock. This is a Thomas Turner gun.

Best,
Ted

Thanks for the correction. I couldn't remember the name and did a search. The article I found spelled it as I did. I guess we were both wrong.(?)

OBTW, correct grammar and spelling would be "you're", not "your", prof. As in you are welcome.

Thomas Turner pictured below. As I recall, this Turner gun is built on the Bentley patent. I have seen a lot of Skimin and Wood 2" guns, but have never seen one with a skeleton stock.

I wouldn’t doubt they exist, but, I haven’t seen a Skimin & Wood that mimics the Turner lightweight version, either.

Best,
Ted
