I'm more inclined to attribute any significant weight differences to scale accuracy, rather than moisture content. A piece of stable, dry wood can go from 3% moisture to over 6% seasonally. (Before you say it, yes, it changes regardless of finish and coats of Timberlux)
If you really wanted to get anal about it, weigh your guns cold, then hot. Go another step, and measure the LOP, because wood shrinkage ( and swelling is greater in the linear dimension than the radial, or tangential direction).
I like Russ Jackson's egg scale more than my fancyassed digital postal scale.
