My 103 CS with 75 cm barrels (12 gauge) weighs just under 7 pounds. My model 43 (Damascus barrels)weighs a little less than that. Sorry I do not have the exact numbers.

Something kind of interesting is that my 43 and a buddy's model 42 have barrels that are metrically marked as 16 gauges, but the bores are 12 and the action is marked as a 12 gauge. Our thought was that Husqvarna received a bunch of 16 gauge barrels and opened them up to 12. Who knows?

I use 24 and 28 grams loads in my 103 and it is a sweet shooting gun! Try posting on the Swedish board and you might get more answers. http://www.gunboards.com/forums/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=41 Pettson pops up there once in a while!

Take care,
