I weighed my W&C Scott & Son 12 gauge pinfire today. The scale I weighed it on is a balance beam & quite accurate, but only graduated to lb. It just topped 7 lbs, probably between 7 lb 1 oz & 7 lb 2 oz as it was closer to 7 than 7. This is a bar in wood with keyed forend so wasn't in the mood to take it apart to get closer. According to Mr Crawford, its an A grade & he estimates between 1863 & 18/65 as to build date. Top lever opening was built under a Matthews Patent. Barrels measure 29 13/16" by tape measure. Has no appearance of having been cut. Both barrels are cylinder bore.
