A Bit of a Poll

English guns seem to way slightly less than their American counter parts when all things are equal such as barrel lenth, over all lenth and guage. at least all mine do.

Wayne my C.G Bonehill weighs 10 lbs 2 oz its a 10 bore of course 32" Damascus . My next double will be either a rem 1894 or a Belgium guild gun .
Weight though hasn't never been a factor when I buy a gun then again im a young person .

with my three 10 bores

one English - an ounce or two over ten pounds - 32"

two Parkers (both #2 frames) nine and just shy of nine and a half - 30 and 32"


I expect it will vary a pound or two for any 10 bore guns on either side of the pond

this may be true for 12's - the British love light 12's
