Barrel Weight

[winplumber]

Just a quick question what do they weigh with the forearm on ?

Weight with the forend in place is 3-8. I just re-weighed the gun. I tried various angles with the scale, to make sure I wasn't messing up the reading, and came up with 7-3, which is 1 ounce less than shown in factory records. I guess the barrel striker had his work cut out for him!

[WHO]

Information from my own personal investigation showed that numerous 12 gauge guns I checked weighed from six to ten ounces less than the stamped barrel weight. One 12 gauge gun that I know had the barrels honed/polished out weighed 12.5 ounces less than the stamped barrel weight. An untouched 8 gauge set of barrels were 14 ounces less than the stamped barrel weight. An untouched 20 gauge set of barrels weighed 8.5 ounces less than the stamped weight.
