Randy,
My 2 frame 20 has an unstruck barrel weight of 4# 11oz and a finished weight of 4# 4oz. Its a straight grip no safety gun that weights in at just under 8# 8oz. Definitely not an upland gun but man does she crush clays.

Default 32” 20 survey

I attended an estate sale in 2004 and foolishly passed on VHE 202,247, a 32” 20 ga on a 1 frame. It had a Parker trap style stock. I did not record the chamber depth. To compound my error I also passed on Fox Super 30,070 (Burt Becker) 12/32 3 inch, damaged stock. The Parker sold for $1200, and the Fox sold for $925. Live and learn.

I had a young family and serious bills. I had just purchased a Model 21 the night before. Wish I had a do-over.

This thread may help me recover my 20 gauge VH #2 frame #153,333, 8 pounds, ball grip. It and my present #2 frame are east coast guns from the same Boston dealer, Orren R. Dickey. I have an O frame 32" 20 gauge A-1 Special, but am missing the back end.

Is it a set of Whitworth barrels that you have?

Larry, I think you need to bring that beauty to the New Year's Day shoot at Major Waldron's.
