Can, the Venus is lighter. That’s the Zeus. Probably around 6. I. Ordered a Venus with 12 and 16 barrels. I’m thinking that the 12 won’t be more than 6 and a quarter,the 16 a shade under 6. They’te on the same frames. The 12 barrels might even be lighter than the 16’s
If you have barrels for both 12gauge and 16gauge and the gun is built on the smaller 16ga frame, then the 12ga barrels have to be lighter. Less steel surrounding larger chambers = lighter weight. That's why the Parker Reproduction I owned--made on a 20ga frame but with an extra set of 16ga barrels-- weighed significantly less as a 16 than as a 20.
