Egads those are some heavy guns!

What about the lightest as mentioned by Charlie? His 2# 8oz 20-gauge barrels have me beat. My lightest are on a 5#9oz 16-gauge GH 26" damascus (matches PGCA letter to a "T") that are marked 2#12oz.

What are the lightest barrels that our collectors have?

The 8ga Howard mentioned above is a beautiful beast. The gun is a 7 frame with 36" barrels and retains most of its original finish. Parker did make a few 40" 8ga guns and I would be curious about their weights to possibly add them to a Parker's Found.

There was a 40" bbl Parker 8 at the Spring Southern last year. It was quite a nice gun.

Now, Mills, what did you find wanting on that gun? Josh, is your extra heavy gun a 40" gun?

It didn't have a price tag on it and there wasn't enough money in my wallet at that time anyway

I cant compete with any of these weights with a parker. I would have to drag out (dare I say it) my Belgium gun.
