Then how would you suggest it be re-balanced?

look close at the last picture - you can see it about 1/3 of the way down

Now that the weather is improving and I can get back in the shop, we will find out

I am thinking of putting in something like nice shot

If nothing else it will raise the value of the gun


BTW - the barrel's marked weight on this one is 6lbs 7oz - hence the need for weight to balance

Use something other than lead if need be.
