    Custom Handmade Brass Weights for Most Over/Under Shotguns (Including Some Over-Single and Under-Single Shotgun barrels)
    These weights fit between your barrels, and are secured via #4-40 screws (most common), #2-56 screws, or RTV silicone (for barrels with a solid mid-rib or where spacing precludes the use of screws). These are custom made to your specs for your barrels.
    The design of these weights are the same no matter what O/U you are using, so even if I haven't made them for your gun before, there is no doubt that I can.  Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.
    I had been searching for something for the longest time to add some weight to my barrels. I didn't want anything clamped onto the barrels so as to ruin the lines of the gun. After searching about 3 years, I ended up making some of my own out of brass. They fit neatly under the forend between the barrels, and are held together by draw screws (most common) or silicone adhesive. I can also manufacture weights for the barrels in front of the forend if you wanted to match weight a barrel to one with subgauge tubes, or just add more weight overall.
    Weights that are setup with #4-40 screws now come standard with steel inserts, which provide additional strength and durability.
    Weights are .44 oz/inch combined for both sides if you wanted to figure out how much yours would weigh (example, a 10" weight would weigh 4.4oz total). This is typically the maximum weight that can be hidden under the forend.
    In order to be able to use the draw-screw type of weights, you need to be able to fit a #4-40 (.108) or #2-56 (.082) screw between your barrels for these weights to work, as that is the size of screws I use, otherwise they will have to be installed with silicone. Clearance for a #4-40 screw can be checked with 2 stacked pennies. Clearance for #2-56 screws can be checked by stacking a dime on top of a credit card.
    Terms: Due to the custom nature of these weights, all orders must be prepaid. Orders are non-refundable after weights have been manufactured, as they are made specifically for your gun. If there is an error in manufacturing, replacement weights will be made.
    This auction is for one set of weights (2 strips, one for each side of the barrels) up to 10" in length. Longer weights available for an additional fee.  Measurement instructions will be emailed after payment has been completed.  Due to the custom nature of this product, shipment may take one to two weeks after order has been received, typically the ship sooner but it depends on my current schedule.
    I will need the following information from you to be able to make your weights, I do not keep any measurements on hand, so if you are unable to provide this information please do not make a purchase:
    -The length of weights you desire (this is the Red line). If you are looking for the maximum weight to fit completely under your forend, do the following. Put your barrels on the action, and measure from the tip of the ejector to the end of the forend, the mid hanger, or where the mid-rib starts (depending on the make and model of gun).
    -How far back from where the muzzle end of the weights will there be room for screw clearance (this is the Blue line). Begin by checking clearance with 2 stacked pennies (or a #4-40 screw (.108” diameter). Slide these between the barrels, and as far back toward the monoblock as possible. If you cannot fit 2 stacked pennies between the barrels, try a dime and the edge of a credit card (or a #2-56 screw (.082” diameter). Provide me with this length, as well as which diameter screw will work. If you do not have clearance for either screw size, or have a solid mid-rib, you will have to attach your weights with RTV silicone.
    If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
