6#+/- depending on the model. I emailed Joel Etchen's shop a while back and got them to weigh one. If you have a specific model in mind that's a way to get an exact weight.

That is a nifty number, much better than what my 410 is shooting with factory full. What choke threads does Sumtoy use on the .410? Also, does anyone know if he can gun chokes on a cut down barrel?

he has a odd ball invector-winchoke and over the summer he started doing invector plus. the invector plus is true to size!

I thought the Ithaca 12ga was lite.. but shocked to see it weights the same as the 870 20ga
How's about the M3020?

Not a lightweight, but a 26" WInchester SX3 Universal Hunter weighs 6 lbs 10 oz. It's a real soft shooter tho.

I would like one in a 21” barrel. Cut down and possibly winchoke threads. It would be sweet for turkey killing

Can’t remember if I weighted my 3020 turkey or not. But feels light

‘22 Charles Daly 101 Turkey. Burris FF3 w adapter on supplied picatinny rail. Swapped factory choke for IC .385. As listed, the total weight is 4 lb 13 oz. Not real light, not real heavy?

Is that a model 391A1 by chance?

Well, for 410 I didn’t think so? I also have a Yildiz TK36 and Stevens 301, it seemed to have best features of both. Only things I don’t like is bead is off center and synthetic stock is hollow and noisy. When I shoulder it seated, never fails to hit a buckle or button and make a noise. Going to address stock when I can figure what to stuff it with!

Stuff it with packing peanuts. Don't use the corn starch ones as they might not hold up and you'd have a mess. Or get a Beartooth neoprene sleeve for the stock exterior. It is listed as a comb raising kit.
