This information probably just confirms the obvious, but I have a GH 12 that has 30 inch Damascus barrels and is built on the #1 frame. It's unstuck barrel weight is 3 lbs 9 oz and the barrels weigh 3 lbs 2 oz. The gun weighs 7 lbs .55 oz. The chokes are .040 in each barrel and are about 4 inches long each. The minimum wall thickness at 9 inches from the breech is .047 for both barrels. This gun letters as weighing 7 lbs.
The barrel strikers could work wonders! Yes, these are factory guns, but when you look at the individual guns, they are much more like custom made than one would think at first glance.
