Bill,

The 2" 12 is no longer being made; although Woodcock Hill advertises Tony White will make one. There were not a lot made to begin with and they were popular in the 1930s. The majority of boxlock guns were made by Skim'n and Wood. They sold the actions to other makers. You can find 2" guns from Westley Richards, WJ Jeffery, Churchill, CS Rosson, etc. Some makers also built their own 2" guns on their sidelock actions (e.g., Holland & Holland, Purdey, and Churchill). Most of these guns weighed 5lbs 4oz to 5lbs 10oz.

In the late 1990s Arrieta made some 2" 12 gauge guns, but these weighed 5 3/4 to 6lbs.
