Parkers Found - Lightest barrel weight reported

JLoew · 07-18-2009, 05:20 PM

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!

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?

20ga DHE. 2lbs 14oz. 24" barrels. I like wall thickness in barrels.

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.

Best, Austin

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.
