True but I figured it was close enough but I know when carrying it in the field a few ounces may make a big difference to someone .

I think that Parkers has 32" barrels so if it was 30" it would probably break even at 7lbs . It being lighter than the other 2 frame 10s listed I suppose it has thinner barrels than the others one ?

Milton, I hope, as a friend, you are not considering purchasing the 7 pound Parker. That is one poor excuse for a $2000 Parker. $200 would be closer to its real value.

I agree completely with Bill. That gun has so many flaws if it were mine I would pay somebody to take it away....

Talk about a few extra ounces... This is my set of 30" ten gauge 2-frame Damascus barrels ( 57043 ) that I fitted to my 2-frame DH ( 90739 ).

I hope you can easily read the pre-struck weight of these barrels.... it is 5 lbs., 11 oz. and the gun balances almost 3 inches forward of the hinge pin.

The original 30" 12 ga. set of Titanic barrels are 4, 2 and the 30" 12 ga. set of Damascus barrels I had Russ Bickel fit to it are stamped 4, 1.
