I always thought the 20 gauge Repros were inordinately heavy compared to original 20 gauge guns, all else being the same. I had a 20 ga. straight stock, BTFE, with 28" barrels I considered a bit heavier than I would have liked.

20g guns were cataloged at 6-1/2 lbs. And that is with 28” barrels.

Brian,
all manufacturers catalogs lie |

Well, the question was “average weight”. So I would say that is the best thing to go off for speculation sake. Printed manufacturer specifications.

The weights of Parker Reproductions are listed as nominal weight in the brochures, not average weight -- that's why 26" and 28" guns can weigh nominally the same. If one can be so lucky to own a 20ga. Repro w/28" bbls. that actually weighs less than 6lbs. 8oz., I'd say he found that needle in the haystack.

I have a 20ga with factory 28" 20ga barrels that weighs-in at 6# 7.4oz. That drops to 6# 3oz. with the 16ga 28" factory barrels installed. Here's a picture Last edited by Scot Cardillo; 03-09-2022 at 04:31 PM.. Reason: to correct information |

Not only did you find that needle in the haystack Scot, you have found an even smaller needle in the haystack with your 20ga. Repro w/28" bbls. factory choked IC/M. Your Repro is one rare bird, maybe even beyond rare. Have you or others ever previously seen a 20ga. w/28" bbls. factory choked IC/M before? I have not.
Congratulations!
