Heavy 12 gauges

[Austin W Hogan]

Bill; Several years ago Ron Kirby and I examined and discussed some 2 1/2 frame entries.
We concluded that the shop terminology was due to the number 3 frame being 2 1/2 inches wide, and it was probably machined in 2 1/2 jigs.
I have a 3 frame 12ga 32 inch lifter that weighs 9 1/2 pounds plus. The weight is between the hands and it is very nimble. I found it a joy to shoot at both skeet and 5 stand.

Best, Austin

The owner of the unique #6 frame 12 gauge that Jack Puglisi sold has not come forward on this site. We would like to hear from him. My fluid steel #6 frame ten gauge is well known by readers on this site and the Puglisi 12 gauge should be "outed" also.
