Parabola: I just finished reading the 2-inch gun posting here (all 24 pages of it). I'm weaning off of the oxycontin here today (post surgery, don't want to end-up like Limbaugh) and need to keep myself occupied. Two-inch 12-gauge guns exist in a twilight of-sorts for me. We sold many of them over the years I worked for Mark Reynolds (Skimin & Woods, H&H Dominions, Purdeys, etc.) and I was simply fascinated by them all (I still am). That 2-inch post does what we do best here, which is to research and collaborate on obscure and highly-specialized fine guns. The gifts that are brought to bear on these pages here are almost other-worldly (in that they are shared freely and openly and with such enthusiasm!). I am in awe of what I read here. Years ago, I had to choose between either a good British 16 or a 2-inch 12. Being limited by reality (and possessing a practical nature by necessity), I went with the 16. I have no regrets, other than to still be fascinated by the concept.
