David, kindly show us a picture of Brad's lightening cuts on your gun.

Secondly, please show us pictures of the engraving as well.

Thats a lot of work to save only .8oz, I would have thought it would have been closer to 1 oz maybe a little more. either way a lot of work. If your going to reduce the weight of a gun I think the best place to do it is in the stock.

I will when I get it back. I will be shooting it in Sandford and Drakes. I have has a second set of locks fitted to her and they are at the engravers now. My next step is to have a custom walnut case built for her:two 30" barrels with fore ends,two locks .

You are correct ,but you are limited in doing that if you still want it to balance on the pin. I thought it would be more when we decided to do it . I ended up with 7ib 2 oz gun ,good barrel wall thickness and a hollowed out stock.
