Just seems really heavy. I have a 2 frame hammer gun with 28" bbls that's just over 8 pounds. Interesting gun for sure.

I'm going to weigh it on my shipping scales tomorrow. I have never heard of pouring lead in the stock. I'm guessing to lessen the recoil? I ordered the letter for it a couple of week ago.

Or to improve the balance due to the gun being barrel heavy
