Kenny,
I agree with Mike, I don't think your barrels were honed either. The typical bore listing for 16 gage guns is .667 so if anything your bores are on the tight side. If the barrels have not been refinished then the wall thickness is likely as it left the factory. I weighted and measured my DHE 16 O frame with 26" barrels and this is what I found. Both bores measure .665 with right choke .004 and left at .030. The unstruck weight was 2# 15oz with an actual weight of 2# 6oz which shows a 9oz reduction similar yours and Mikes gun. Good luck with your new acquisition.
