Tut, the plot thickens .........
The NOS 32" barrel set also are serial numbered .......33055. They're #2 weight barrels and weigh 3 lbs. 12.5 oz.
Here's the kicker. The 30" barrel set, original to the gun I want to get the 32" set fitted to, are also #2 weight, and weigh 1.7 oz. MORE, at 3 lbs. 14.2 oz.
Those 32 inchers won't need any striking at all. They will likely handle so closely to the same as the original 30 inch set that I won't be able to feel any difference. Two inches longer, but 1.7 oz. lighter. Looks like a "match made in heaven".
Thanks for mentioning the barrel weight classes. I had never noticed that they are #2 weight, and had just (wrongly) assumed they would be a good bit heavier and handle differently. They may yet, but I doubt it.
