It has been my experience that generally the barrels and forend combined usually are within two ounces of the struck weight . Meaning they could be as much as two ounces less or as much as two ounces more with the forend attached . So to answer your question more correctly I’ve never seen a set of barrels that were uncut that were close to the stamped struck weight alone without the forend .
