Are you able to pick the gun in one piece to weigh it or do you have to break it down for that?

What does she weigh? I'll take a guess, 12lbs 3 ounces.

Pete, she's in pieces right now. I will weigh it when I reassemble it. The gentleman I purchased it from said 13 pounds. As for the .830" bore, would that have been done to help reduce felt recoil? Would that, along with the weight, have made this gun easier on the body after a full day of shooting?

Only if shot all day from a seated position using a boom crutch from a small sailboat to support the barrels...
