Generally speaking, yes 20ga. Repros are slightly heavier than a similarly configured original Parker Bros. 20ga. 0-frame guns. But, I have seen several examples going the other way.
Having said the above, I would like to see what a Remington-built 20ga. 0-frame w/26'' bbls., .030 MWT, DT, straight grip, splinter, 14 3/8" LOP with a SSBP actually weighs. My 20ga. Repro with these specs weighs 6 lbs. 5 oz. My bet, is that they will weigh about the same with wood density accounting for any weight differentiation.
The two 12ga. SCCs and a SSS Repro that I've owned w/28" bbls., SG (14 3/4" LOP), SPL, DT and SSBP have all have weighed 7lbs. 3 oz.
