That's a weight you usually only see English 12s obtaining. As a rule, the Spanish guns run a little bit heavier(~6lbs12) because their relatively new (and largly un-honed!) barrels are usually set up to shoot 2 3/4 inch loads, with the American guns in the 7 1/2 to 8 lb class (and that's even some 20 bores!). Model 21s in 12 bore are usually in the 8lb range.
