I didn&#8217;t want anything clamped onto the barrels, as it would ruin the lines of the gun. After searching about 3 years, I ended up manufacturing my own weights. They fit neatly between the barrels, and are held together by draw screws (most common) or silicone adhesive (for guns with a solid mid-rib, or where barrel spacing precludes the use of screws).\u00a0 For guns with a solid mid-rib, you can also have a gunsmith drill and tap your mid-rib for grub screws, which can be used to hold the weights to your gun, if you would like an alternative to using RTV silicone.\u00a0\u00a0These weights are custom made to the specifications of your barrels, not mass-produced like some alternatives.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To date, I\u2019ve manufactured these weights Krieghoff K80\/K32 (Over\/Under, Unsingle, Top Single), Kolar (Over\/Under, Unsingle, Top Single), Beretta (682, 686, ASE90, DT10), Browning, Perazzi (Over\/Under, Unsingle, Top Single), Caesar Guerini, Zoli, and Blaser, and for guns in 12ga, 20ga, 28 gauge, and 410 bore. The design of these weights are the same no matter what break-action shotgun you are using, so even if I haven&#8217;t made them for your gun before, there is no doubt that I can.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These weights weigh approximately .45 oz\/inch combined for both sides if you wanted to figure out how much yours would weigh (example, a 10&#8243; weight would weigh 4.5oz <strong>TOTAL<\/strong>, <strong>both sides<\/strong>). This is typically the maximum weight that can be hidden under the forend.\u00a0\u00a0I can also manufacture weights for the barrels in front of the forend if you wanted to match weight a barrel to one with sub-gauge tubes, or just add more weight overall.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Price<\/strong> for weights is $75 per set, up to 10&#8243; in length, which includes shipping within the United States. Weights longer than 10&#8243; will be priced at $7.50 per inch.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Terms:<\/strong> Due to the custom nature of these weights, all orders must be prepaid.\u00a0 Orders are non-refundable after weights have been manufactured, as they are made specifically for your gun. Electronic payments are no longer being accepted for this product, please use the &#8220;Contact Me&#8221; page to place you order.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ordering Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When you contact me about ordering weights, I&#8217;ll need the following information, so please have it available when you contact me:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-The length of weights you desire (this is the Red line).\u00a0 If you are looking for the maximum weight to fit completely under your forend, do the following.\u00a0 Put your barrels on the action, and measure from the tip of the ejector to the end of the forend, the mid hanger, or where the mid-rib starts (depending on the make and model of gun).<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-How far back from where the muzzle end of the weights will there be room for screw clearance (this is the Blue line).\u00a0 Begin by checking clearance with 2 stacked pennies (or a #4-40 screw (.108\u201d diameter).\u00a0 Slide these between the barrels, and as far back toward the monoblock as possible. If you cannot fit 2 stacked pennies between the barrels, try a dime and the edge of a credit card (or a #2-56 screw (.082\u201d diameter).\u00a0 Provide me with this length, as well as which diameter screw will work.\u00a0 If you do not have clearance for either screw size, or have a solid mid-rib, you will have to attach your weights with RTV silicone.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:
