Oh my gosh. Jay, are you aware of the fact the some of the nicest 16s were made on #2 and #3 frames. My dainty little #3 frame 28" 16 weighs no more than 8 3/4 pounds.

Sounds like the pheasant gun for late season spooky pheasants with 3 1/2" 16ga. Magnums. I will have to admit I have not encountered any large frame 16's. The lightest one I have personally weighed on a #1 frame was the gun that was owned by L.L. Bean at 6lbs. 5oz. The barrels were stamped 3-5. The little "O" frame DHE I have right now weighs 6 1/4lbs. and barrels are stamped 6-4. I have had plenty of #1 frames near 7lbs., most around 6 3/4.

Jay, oddly, all of my #1 and #0 16s are within an ounce or two of 6 1/4 pounds, except for my #3 frame gun.

IMO, the #1 frame is the most ergonomically-friendly of all Parker frames. A 0 frame has some sort of sex appeal attached to it but....gimme a #1 frame any day for a 16.

I'll take a lighter gun regardless of frame size. It so happens that one of my 0-frame 16's, a GH with 26" Damascus barrels weighs in at 6 lb., 15 oz. and though it is a pretty gun, it is not my favorite.

Jay - Your last post says that the unstuck weight of the barrels is the same as the whole gun. We either have a typo, a severely swamped set of barrels, or a mistake in the Meridan stamping cener

I would guess that the corrected post would be 3-4. Today, I am going out for test fire of the #1 frame 16 gauge DHE that I purchased from a member on this forum in the "for sale" subforum. It is a sweetheart, 24 3/4" cylinder bored barrels and a squished Jostam pad, 6 pounds, 5 ounces, twin ivory beads, great English Walnut, outstanding condition. It is cased in a leather trunk case I purchased a day or two after I bought the gun. Angel Ortiz advertised the case on this forum. Oddly the barrel channel in the case was 24 3/4". You couldn't get a matchbook into either end of the barrel channel with the barrels installed. Sometimes things just come together in the Parker world.

I have 0 frames that weigh more than 1 frames and of course visa versa. It's my understanding that the majority of the weight is in the barrels and the stock. higher grade guns with nice wood might be more dense and a VH. Also things like ejectors and BTF will add weight.
