Mine is a 3E made in 1905, and re-barreled at Hunter Arms with 32" Nitro steel barrels and ventilated rib- the gun weighs 8 lbs. 2 ounces unloaded. My 1929 Ideal Grade ejector LONGRANGE with 32" flat file cut rib weighs 8 lbs. even. FYI-- I had a "project stocked" 12 A.H. Fox HE 32" many years ago, I never weighed it, but it seemed about as heavy as an M-1 Garand (sans bayonet).
