O Frame Barrel Weight?

Frank Allegra · 03-20-2012, 09:23 PM

I was wondering what the heaviest un-struck weight barrels anyone has encountered on a 0 frame 20ga?

The un-struck weight of my 28" PHE20 is 3lb-1oz.

Frank,

Thanks for the interesting "Parkers Found" topic. If you join the PGCA, you will get our quarterly journal, The Parker Pages and we have several pages of firsts, lasts, heaviest, lightest, etc of Parkers that are reported. I hope you will consider joining our group and becoming a member.

A-1 Special, 32" 20 gauge, 3-7. I guess 32" barrels are not really a fair comparison.

Bill ,I would like to get a look at that Gun !!!!!

So would I. I have had the barrels for years but have never seen the gun. I talked to the guns "caretaker" on the phone once. He was not interested in buying barrels or selling his gun. The barrels have had a nice life on a nice little GHE Damascus 16, but they don't get out much. Kevin McCormack once suggested that I contract with him to build an oak and leather trunk case for the forend.

Why would anyone not want the original barrels for an A1 if they owned the gun? Talk about value added...

How much were you asking for the barrels, Bill?

Frank Allegra · 03-21-2012, 09:13 AM

Bill, 32" barrels are a fair comparison as long as they were for a 0 frame. I know that there are a few heavy weights on 1 frame (Widgeon duck guns) but I'm just interested in 0 frame.
