Thanks very much for your reply. The barrels look uncut, so I was puzzled about the weight differing from the stamp. But your answer makes sense. I would like to find out how these barrels are choked. Is one barrel choked more than the other from the factory? I'll have to go dig up my micrometer.
Love the battleship picture, I was on the Missouri for two weeks in 1986 during a westpac deployment. Still remember those 16-inch guns firing during an exercise.
