I think the summarization of Parker 20 gauge guns weights is that you can't. You can only say that you will find them in a varying range of weights. I always hear the Fox guys talking about how much lighter Fox 20s are than Parker 20s. That isn't necessarily true. I owned at one a time a Fox DE 20 gauge with a straight stock and 30" barrels. I also own a Parker 20 BHE with a straight stock and 30" barrels. The Fox had a cut stock with an added recoil pad, the Parker a skeleton steel butt. The Parker actually weighed slightly less than the Fox. Parker Brothers had more options available to vary a guns handling characteristics (read weight) than any other American made double.
