Parkers Found - Lightest barrel weight reported

[Josh Loewensteiner]

Just scanning the most recent Parkers Found and recognized that we dont yet have a "Lightest barrel weight marking." Just poking around at a few Parkers and found 2lbs 12oz, surely there must be a few others with lighter pre-striking weights than this 0 frame 20ga gun. Please share your thoughts, or PM me with your findings and we'll add it to the listings!

Thanks!
Josh

Thanks for sharing. So far it looks like 2lbs 8oz is the lightest marking based on the above and PM's I got. Any others?

Josh ; the little 20 lifter I had at PGCA last year (17448) does not have the initial weight stamped. It weighs 2 pounds 6 .6 ounces at present. The all up gun weight is 5 pounds 13 ounces.

Lets here it for the 16 ga. crowd. How about a 2-13 on a O frame? #191XXX . Wondering how that compares. How about some 12 or 10 gauge guys chimeing in? Lets here the lightest if your shoulders can handle typing.

0-Frame 16 ga. Lam-1 T/A hammer 26" 3lb., 5 oz. before striking.

1-Frame 16 ga. Trojan 26" 3lb., 3 oz. before striking.

. . . go figure :shock:

All of my other sixteens are heavier.
