Description:
Thomas Turner was known for making high quality doubles. His speciality was producing extremely light double barrel "game" guns. This example weighs a mere 6 pounds even, (and that is with 28 inch barrels.) He accomplished this by "Skeletonizing" the buttsock, reducing the forearm to a "dimunitive" size, and using a small round-action frame. He did this without diminishing the quality or reliability of his guns.
Turner Lightweights are rare in America, and this one has recently been imported from the UK.
Specifications:
12 bore
28 inch fluid steel barrels, choked cyl and modified
2 & 1/2 inch chambers, Nitro proofed for 1&1/8 ounce of shot
LOP 14&1/2 from front trigger, 1&3/4 DAC, 2&1/4 DAH
Cast-off for right hand shooter
Non- ejector
