Welcome to the forum Kurt!

A 12-ga. Parker Repro that weighs about 6 3/4 lbs. will almost certainly have 26" bbls. and a splinter forend -- they are out there. In my experience 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels will weigh right around 7 lbs. or a little more. Virtually all 16-ga. Parker Reproductions are part of 20/16 bi-gauge sets, reportedly there were 500 Krieghoff 16-ga. barrel sets added to 20-ga. guns to make up these bi-gauge sets and sold as 'factory'. In addition to these factory sets there were an unnamed number of 16-ga. Repro barrels sold and marketed by CSMC. Having said this, I have seen a 2-bbl. set of 16-ga. only Repros -- how this and maybe a few other of these 16-ga. only sets became available is anyone's guess.
