I always thought the 20 gauge Repros were inordinately heavy compared to original 20 gauge guns, all else being the same. I had a 20 ga. straight stock, BTFE, with 28" barrels I considered a bit heavier than I would have liked.

20g guns were cataloged at 6-1/2 lbs. And that is with 28” barrels.

Well, the question was “average weight”. So I would say that is the best thing to go off for speculation sake. Printed manufacturer specifications.

The weights of Parker Reproductions are listed as nominal weight in the brochures, not average weight -- that's why 26" and 28" guns can weigh nominally the same. If one can be so lucky to own a 20ga. Repro w/28" bbls. that actually weighs less than 6lbs. 8oz., I'd say he found that needle in the haystack.

Just weighed 2 Parker Repro's as noted below for comparison purposes. Weighed on a certified scale.
1. Parker Repro 20 ga w/28 inch barrels - 6 lbs 12 oz. 2. Parker Repro 20 ga w/26 inch barrels - 6 lbs 9 oz. For further comparison: Parker Trojan 20 ga. w/26 inch barrels - 6 lbs 6 oz Last edited by allen newell; 03-08-2022 at 04:25 PM.. Reason: to add the Trojan |
