Default Three Frame 12 ga

I remember a three frame 12 ga 32 inch barrels, AAHE offered at the last Julia auction. Probably a joy to shoot several boxes of heavy loads through from a comfortable blind in the good old days.
I have a three frame 32 inch twelve ga lifter gun weighing 10 pounds. It balances precisely and is an amazingly adept skeet gun.
The three frame itself adds little weight, but it allows an eigth inch overall increase in barrel width, that is 1/32 thickness of the barrels at the breech. The additional barrel thickness from breech to fore end allows a 32 inch to balance precisely at the hinge. I have a couple of two frame guns that weigh 9 plus, but they are a little muzzle heavy, probably built in down lead for decoyed ducks.

Best, Austin
