Avg weight of 20 ga Repros w/28 inch barrels straight stock

[Wild Skies]

It appears most of the weight variation between the Meriden Parkers and the Repros were in the barrels, I assume because of wall thickness. While you were at it I wish you would have compared the Meriden splinter ejector forends with the Repro forends -- probably an ounce of two there, too.

Thanks for posting the comparisons, Edgar. I am mildly surprised the Meriden forends weigh virtually the same as the Repros despite them having less wood.
