Default My Beautiful FrankenParker

I made a trade today for a cool gun that won't win any beauty contests but I loved it immediately for some reason. 12 gauge, 1 frame, CH fishtail top lever, completely silvered receiver (67946), beautiful piece of wood in a replacement stock with so/so wood to metal fit and a decent looking repair on the right cheek, beautifully engraved SSBP with a just okay fit and a really cool engraved grip cap. Lovely 28" Damascus barrels not numbered to the gun (137511) that fit pretty good and lock up tight. Chokes are .006 and .027. LOP 14 1/4, drops 1 1/2 and 2 3/8.

Love the wood figure. The barrels look like they weighed 3lbs 2oz before finishing. What does it weigh?
