Thank you for responding to my question. I bought a 32” carrier barrel for my sporting clays gun. It weighs about 6 Oz more than my 12 ga barrel. I was hoping the weight would be a bit closer, but not to be. I’ve got another similar gun to my 12 that I’m going to set up for sub gauge and I may shoot some skeet with it too. So, I need to balance this barrel heavy gun and try to get it to at least feel better. I’m thinking a couple ounces of lead close to the butt pad may do the trick, but the gun will weigh about 8 Oz or so more than the 12 bore. As long as it feels good and is well balanced, I think it will be ok. It is what it is, but I wish the total weight was closer with the two guns.
