It's definitely a disappointment to me. 14 oz more weight is a bunch on a 5 1/2-5 3/4 lb gun. I was pretty sure they would be heavier, but I was thinking maybe 4-6 oz. It could be a result of my friend who commisioned Remington/CSM build 410 barrels for his vintage 00 28ga who may have specified the weight. The Repro 410 barrels for the 00 frame, he was told are a direct result of his order.

On the otherhand, the gun weight will make for a nice swing.
With a "helluva" follow through!
