Jent,
What's the size of that skeleton? Mine is 5 1/8" x 1 5/8".

The Brothers P did many wonderful things to achieve a customer's desired weigth and balance with their guns. Quite often two guns of the same frame size will different sized stocks. As I recall, back in the day, when Kevin and I made a lightning road trip up into Pennsylvania to lay his "Grandma's Gun" next to one of its sisters from that little nest of four 0-frame, 28-gauge, Damascus barrel, GH-Grades, one gun had a decidedly larger stock than the other. Unfortunately, this is the only picture from that family reunion I have scanned in and it doesn't really show the difference very well.

I can measure the skeleton butt plate from my Dhe 16 O frame if that would help. Isn"t that Don Miller from New Wilmington,Pa in the picture? He has not shown me that gun when at his house. I recently lost my old English Setter, Speck, that I bought off of Don--and he hunts a dog he bought off of me.

That would be great to know. Thanks

The overall size of the butt end of the 20 ga. stock as oppossed to the 16 ga. in the "0" frames were significantly different with the 20 ga. being smaller. I found this out when trying an "0" frame 16 ga. butt stonk on a 20ga. frame. The head matched up but the butt plate from the original 20 ga. stock was too small. Jim

The gauge of the two guns would not be the determining factor. #0 frame guns of whatever gauge were commonly fitted with #0 size or #1 size stocks depending on the desired weight or fit. To add a bit, a #1 frame gun is also commonly stocked with a #0 frame stock.

So Tom,
How were you able to convince Bob to turn over the 20 gauge
so you could reunite your buttplate with its' long lost gun?

Thanks Harold. This one is indeed smaller, so it certainly was made for a 20 ga.
