Bill, My 0 frame 20ga VHE two bbl. set (32" and 28") is even more at odds. the gun with the 32"s is about 3 oz. less than with the 28"s. The gun balances at the same point and swings similarly with either set.

Fred, is the reversed three ounce difference actual weight or marked weight? That is strange.

Bill, That's actual weight. Each set is marked 3/8. It's #190872 and there appear to be no surviving records. It's safetyless with a Parker SST. The long barrels have 3" chambers and are choked tight. The short barrels are a later addition as they are marked with the Parker Proof and are choked a light IC/Mod. I have used 1oz 2&3/4 laods on pheasant with effect in the long barrels, but I wouldn't use any modern 3"ers in it.

Fred - I don't see a safety on that gun? Is there one there or can I not see it?
