I agree with Miller, the idea to make the lighter barrels fit an existing frame to save weight and possibly money.
For 800.00 I would look for a CZ mini frame. I would cringe, but I could work through it! If I could spend a bit more maybe an Ugartechea Gr 1 boxlock. Both a bit over 5#.

Due to my dislike of the straight sided Stevens 410s, I got this earlier version; 1930s I believe. 5 lb 14 oz   Personally, I think that's stranger looking than the flat-sided profile. But whatever floats your boat.

It was probably made heavy intentionally so the owner wouldn't get pounded by the heavy recoil from those .410 shells.

Thats a NICE Crescent 410! I have a 16 gauge Crescent New Empire in that condition but the few 410s I have seen were pretty used up.I have a Stevens 311A in 410 and it is a good little gun.I do think the amounts of money that are being asked for tired old 410s are absurd!A couple of years ago I bought a CZ Bobwhite in 410 and I have been very favorably impressed with it.

Gee; I was wrong? Oh well; first time for everything  . I had one of those series H's and it weighed 6-6. Can't imagine where they'd find another whole pound on that little gun, but I suppose it's possible.

The Cabelas ad says it is the hardwood stock which is probably more dense than walnut.
