Jent,
With the deal concluded today, I guess I can say mine is a No. 2 frame gun as well - with a barrel weight stamp of 4 lbs. 3 oz. Total gun weight is 7 lb. 13 oz. Tubes are 30" 12 gauge, uncut, with 2-5/8" chambers weighing 3 lbs. 10 oz. Chokes of .038" and .040" constriction respectively. Weight of barrel group to include forend is coincidentally 4 lb. 3 oz. Internally, bores are still mirror bright with a nominal dia. of .731 in each, and can't imagine they wouldn't hold up to loads as you describe- but with my handloading I'm usually under 6K psi at one ounce.
The gun obviously did a lot of closet time judging by the condition it's in, and I'm happy to have come across it. 'Thanks' for your input, and with just a bit more looking I'll figure out how to 'Thank' you guys in the appropriate boxes beneath the posts.
