20 ga. gun weights

[Stan Hillis]

Parker manufactured 20s in five different frame sizes, according to info on our home page ....... 1/2 through 2. Does a chart exist that would show comparative overall gun weights in each of these frame sizes with 28" barrels, again in 20 gauge?

In lieu of that, could some members kindly post gun weights for their personal guns, in 20 ga. and with 28" barrels?

I would not really say that they “manufactured them in those frame sizes. The typical frame sizes for 20g would be 0 or 1 in the case of heavy or long barreled guns. Anything other than that would be extremely rare and by special request or a gun with multi-gauge barrel sets. Ie: a 12/20 on a 2 frame.

I seem to remmember someone on here claiming to have or have seen a 20 gauge on a 3 frame that was supposedly factory original .

Both of my #2 frame 32" twenties weigh about 8 1/4 to 8 1/2 pounds. They are not 2 barrel sets.

Brian is correct. I have 21 twenty gauge Parkers on my spreadsheet with data I have collected. In addition to those 21 I have ordered letters on a handful of other 20 gauge Parkers and have looked at many of that gauge. I personally have seen two Parker 20s on 1 frames, the balance were all 0 frames. There is nothing scientific about my information, but anything other than a 0 frame Parker 20 is a outlier for sure.

Stan I have a 28" Parker 20 at home on 0 frame that I will get you the weight later today.

Edgar, what are the barrel lengths on those two? Thanks.

I weighed five 20's with barrels from 28" to 32" and they ranged from 6lbs 2oz to 6lbs 12oz. All O frames. I am also searching for the ideal (for me) grouse gun. I have conclued that it is the gun (or guns) I am comfortable carrying 7-9 miles in the woods and that shoots where I am looking with a hurried mount from various foot/body positions. At this point in my search the leading contenders are a straight grip 28 gauge repro with the Q1, Q2 26" barrels and the longer LOP and a pistol grip 20 gauge repro with the 26" ic/mod barrels. I have a couple original Parker 20's knocking on the door in 28 and 20 gauge. I'm committed to more research this off season. Good luck in your quest for the Holy Grail.
