Yikes! That's a lightweight Parker (and good looking, at least what I can see, to boot!).
Has anyone examined the weight differential between the stamped, unstruck barrel weight and the final barrel weight? The gun that started this thread is my new-to-me GH which weighs 7 lbs. .55 oz. The barrel is stamped 3 lbs. 9 oz. and it actually weighs 3 lbs 1.98 oz. I still think this is an unusually lightweight 30 inch Damascus gun.
After reading lots of posts in this thread and many others, it seems that many of the more frequent contributors shoot some form of clay sports with their guns and seem to lean to heavier guns (logical). I use mine for hunting only and I like 'em light. I have English 12s much lighter, but this Parker GH is a nice gun to lift and carry...and it will go with me this coming season(!)
