Default Parker Gun Weight??

I'm looking at a 20gauge DHE on an O frame. The PGCA letter says the gun weighed 6lbs in 1916. A year later, the gun went back to Parker for a restock. There is no mention of the weight after the restock. The restock removed 1/8" on the LOP. Today the gun weighs 6lbs 8oz and balances about 1.5" to the rear of the hinge pin.

The barrels weigh 2lbs 10oz and the unfinished weight marked on the barrels is 3lbs 2oz. The barrels also have a KL3 Remington service code.

How did this gun gain 8oz??

Thanks
Ken
