Lloyd, like Mark I also have a 12 gauge sidelock with longish barrels (29.5") that weighs in at 6.3 pounds. Although it's German, by Sauer, not American. And I used to have a English Army & Navy 12 that was 6.2 pounds with 28" barrels. Much as I love the 16's I have owned, with the right loads, a nice lightweight 12 is nothing to turn one's nose up at.
