Turnbull did not touch that gun.
The listing states that it was restored by Bachelders. And the overall look of the gun confirms it too.

That's a light 10 gauge. My short chamber 10s kick excessively with those stepped chambers even with the light RST 2 5/8" 1100fps load. Perhaps that was the cause of the cracks behind the lock plates. For that reason, I shoot mostly brass shells in my 2 5/8" 10s anymore.

That's a beautiful gun and that wood is very nice.
That inspires me to do something like that with the one I have. |

I can't believe the stepped chambers have anything to do with excessive kicking - I'll bet it is a combination of the weight of the gun and the DAH and the pitch. .

That gun was returned to Parker Bros. at least once. Anson Deeley release is not original at time of manufacture and the radius between the breech and water table was a later improvement. When I look at the checkering on the forend I new it didnt leave Turnbulls that way. Even with its flaws I am sure I could find room for it in my safe.

I am wrong, there is no radius at the breech of that gun. The side view deceived me.
