My gun is an 1889 vintage heavy 2-frame, 32-inch Damascus barrel, 12-gauge, GH-Grade that got a set of 32-inch, 20-gauge, 3-inch chamber, Vulcan Steel barrels in the 1918 to 1926 time frame. I get the time frame for the 20-gauge barrels from the fact they have the CT, U.S.A. rib legend but don't have the Overload Proved stamp. With the 20-gauge barrels weighs 8 pounds 4.5 ounces.

Randy,
My 2 frame 20 has an unstruck barrel weight of 4# 11oz and a finished weight of 4# 4oz. Its a straight grip no safety gun that weights in at just under 8# 8oz. Definitely not an upland gun but man does she crush clays.

Default 32” 20 survey

I attended an estate sale in 2004 and foolishly passed on VHE 202,247, a 32” 20 ga on a 1 frame. It had a Parker trap style stock. I did not record the chamber depth. To compound my error I also passed on Fox Super 30,070 (Burt Becker) 12/32 3 inch, damaged stock. The Parker sold for $1200, and the Fox sold for $925. Live and learn.

Larry, I think you need to bring that beauty to the New Year's Day shoot at Major Waldron's.

Default 32” 20s

I had a young family and serious bills. I had just purchased a Model 21 the night before. Wish I had a do-over.

Thanks for the info Larry. I bet that gun is a blast on the clays course. Outweighs my 1 frame by almost a pound.
