On my postal scale I am looking at about 6 ¼ pounds for the 0-frame and 6 ¾ for the 1-frame, so ½ pound difference.

I see that the 0-frame gun weighs at exactly the minimum of the requested weight range and the 1-frame gun comes in 4 ounces above the maximum of the requested weight range - so, it seems to me they both should have been made on the 0-frame.
