OP Bob Blair Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 1,441 Likes: 5 The Ozark Plateau	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!

I guess we were both wrong.(?) https://shotgunweb.com/manufacturers/164-skimmin-wood OBTW, correct grammar and spelling would be "you're", not "your", prof. As in you are welcome. May God bless America and those who defend her.

I have seen a lot of Skimin and Wood 2" guns, but have never seen one with a skeleton stock.
