A seven frame with 36 and 38 inch barrels that alone weigh 10 lbs... how much do entire gun weigh?? 14-15 lbs??
First, I love to hold one in hand... Second, I'd really like to shoot one some day. |

Jeff,
I put mine on the kitchen scale and it showed it weighed 16 lbs. I don't know how mine with shorter barrels would weigh less, maybe the wood is heavier or the scale isn't perfect. The barrels alone weighed a just a bit less than 10 lbs. Very interesting... I am planning to get the stock professionally repaired so that I can shoot it someday. Hasn't been fired since the 70's. Kind of a right of passage in my family. |

Jeff's gun also has factory 4" chambers as I recall. It is one of a pair, different grades but identical features, again, as I recall.

Has the check hook lug been repaired, or reinforced, with an insert of some sort? Is it something done to extremely heavy barrels to prevent the hook from breaking off?

It makes perfect sense that when those monstrous barrels are stopped short by the pin in the frame with no resistance to their momentum other than the hook... something's gotta give! It sure looks like a factory repair and the method of repair possibly taken from the 1910 replacable locking plate on the barrel lug.
