just a guess since i have no hard facts to back it up - but I'd say that is pretty much normal for a 1 frame 12, and would fall in the lighter side of 2 frame 12's

Interesting my grade 2 was requested with a weight between 7 1/4 and 7 1/2, and weighs slightly more than 7.25. I recently saw another grade 2 that was right at 8lbs and thought that was strange.

Parker barrel strikers could -- and did -- wonderful things with barrels...but always within the range the Company deemed safe (and balanced).

And, also the way the frame was shoe filed.
A few weeks ago, I helped someone acquire a 12g 2 frame that was 9 lbs with 32” barrels! The unstruck weight stamp on the barrels was an even 5 lbs. I have never seen a set of 2 frame barrels that heavy. A total cannon breech type of gun. And the frame itself was very heavy feeling in the hand too. I was scratching my head at why it was not built on a 3 frame. It was in the mid 80,000 for serial. A damascus GH.

I've thrown this in these frame size vs weight threads before, but here goes again. My 12-gauge 30-inch 2-frame weighs just shy of nine pounds. The barrels are very straight with virtually no swamp. My Grandfather's 30-inch 12-gauge on a 3-frame has a lot of swamp and weighs eight and a half pounds.

Brian, the term "shoe filed" is not in my vocabulary. in the interest of always wanting to learn, could you briefly explain it? I assume it has to do with the way the action is initially filed up by the actioner?
Thanks, SRH |
