Barrel Weights
I have checked the difference between the stamped barrel weights and the actual barrel weights of numerous guns and have come up with these results:
8 gauge loss: 14 ounces
10 gauge loss: 10.5 ounces
12 gauge loss: 6 to 10 ounces
20 gauge loss: 8.5 ounces
I did weigh the barrels together with the splinter forearms and they vary from -3.5 ounces to +.5 ounces from the stamped barrel weight. None equaled the exact stamped weight.
