Didn't know if you've ever checked that for knowledge sake

Wanted to compare to my results hacking it out here.



I have not actually weighed it. As far as volume is concerned, I use slightly more than 3 tablespoons of paint for a typical job. If that was water, that would equate to 1.5 ounces. The paint is slightly heavier, but I know I lose some in overspray, so I would guess the added weight is about that- 1.5 ounces


I have wondered about this before. So I weighed the Ti stock you just did for me. It weighed 23.35 ozs before your paint, it now weighs 23.55 ozs so hardly any difference at all. The KS stock you did for my .280 weighs about 3/4 oz more, but that might also be due to what Master Class Stocks did to it since they added some bedding/pillars??
So it really doesn't do much at all.
