Enjoyed this thread.
Interesting to see W.C. Scott in 1893 charging £8.5.0d extra for Whitworth fluid steel barrels when in 1895 Edwinson Green charged 3 guineas extra on the £35 price for them on my BLE with chopper lump Whitworth barrels.
Talk of gun weights prompts me ( when she’s not looking) to use my wife’s best scales to compare the weights of my SKB 500 over and under with my more modern B. Rizzini Premier Sporting. Both are 12 bore with 28 inch barrels.
The latter has a much more chunky Sporting Clays stock so I would guess it will be about a pound heavier.
