Hammer gun weight

[Dean Romig]

I have a 1-frame 12/30 T/A hammergun that currently weighs 7.54 lbs. that has had no alterations whatever other than some very professional refinishing. I can’t imagine it has lost nearly 1/2 lb. of moisture in the wood…

This is mine, interesting dates and serial numbers....... hmmm. Yours must have been sitting awhile. C grades are very nice? I'll get an actual physical weight, I got a feeling it's 8lbs or over.
