The research letters are attached to my last post. The grade 2 was ordered by what looks to be a hardware company and the order didn't specify weight. The 0 grade was ordered by an individual with a specified weight of 6 1/2 lbs. Both guns have 28" barrels and if you look at the 4th photo you can see the unstruck weights as 3lb 7oz for the 0 grade and 3lb 12oz for the grade 2. Interestingly I have a 1 frame 0 grade 12ga with 28" barrels that fall right between these two at 3lbs 10oz. 5oz lighter barrels, lightened frame and 1/2" shorter stock, probably about a half pound lighter. I'll try to get them on the scale and verify this weekend.
