I don't see how you've determined that "The unstruck barrels weigh 3 lb 11 oz." as the barrels are in a finished condition.
I agree, that the 4 may have been the actual unstruck weight, i.e. 4 lbs even, and it's hard to believe they would have removed 5 ounces of metal in the finishing process. Is the present barrel length correct, to the book?
