OK, I finally broke down and weighed my Model 12, 28 gauge Pigeon Grade skeet. It is a real 28 gauge and a real Pigeon Grade, Simmons vent rib and Pachmayr Power Pac steel compensator. It is probebly the heaviest Model 12, 28 gauge out there at 7 pounds, 10 ounces.

Bill, thanks! Helps out a lot, curiosity got the best of me and I picked up a Browning repo, 7lbs 1oz. I had some older stocks and forend and swapped them out, now its 6 13oz, but really no real noticeable difference.

I'm not about to mess with my Pigeon. It is #5 factory engraved by George? Ulrich or more likely by his successor, Mr. Kusmit. Unfortunately, it has an aftermarket Simmons rib and went to Pachmayr for a compensator and recoil pad in the early fifties. An original gun without these add-ons would be worth a bunch of money on the collector market, but my rough pumping 28 will continue to make me happy when I take it out. I bought it at a local junk auction as part of a five gun Winchester set that included a nice 42 field gun and three other Model 12s of no collector value. Unfortunately, I had to bid the highest on the five guns to get the 28 Pigeon.
