I am just providing the info on this particular New (unfinished) barrel set that I have here.
In previous discussions here, which I was not involved in, it was suggested that MAYBE the stamped weight factored in the typical weight of a FE iron into the mix. a number of people weighed their barrels with complete forends attached and the weights came relatively close to the stamped numbers.
This is what leads me to think that there MIGHT be something to this idea... But... I wasn't there of course so that is all I can say.
