Thanks these look great and just the job. I will see how much weight i need and get some if i need that much weight. 10 oz though!! Bloody hell that's a lot of weight that you can add!
Nearly did not get that type off the barrel....just saying
Depending on how much weight you need to re balance the gun, some gunsmiths will take wood from inside the stock to compensate for the extra hardware fitted. You can also have lead fitted to the barrels inside the forend, most good gunsmiths can sort such issues out. Who did the fitting of the plate and extension? Did you ask them to re balance the gun when they did the work?
This would be my ideal solution too so if anybody know please post it here. I have seen that Krieghoff do some for their K80 Parcours game gun to increase the weight for clay shooting that fit into the vents. I'll give them a call to see if they will fit other makes, don't see why not.
Yes i did ask him to do this but it seems to have missed missed but in his defense i did want the gun to remain light and he has removed as much weight as possible from the stock end.
I have just rung Krieghoff UK and they say that they don't stock these weights as the set only weighs 40 grams and they are £70! He says that self adhesive lead tape is the way to go. Cheap and heavy and can be stuck between the barrels in a little or a much as you require. If applied under the forend it is invisible too
Sounds like a plan mate!!!I have just rung Krieghoff UK and they say that they don't stock these weights as the set only weighs 40 grams and they are £70!

I'l give it a go just hope that i can apply enough to get the balance back or it is going to have to be a big clamp on weight instead. I have ordered some which should be here this week so i'll have a play
thanks to everyone for your help and advice. The easiest plasce to get the stuff may be from a glazing shop, they use it to stick onto glass to make fake leaded windows. I think B&Q used to sell it too.I'l give it a go just hope that i can apply enough to get the balance back or it is going to have to be a big clamp on weight instead.

Yes the stick on lead works well but remember if your gun gets a soaking any time...take off and dry out before putting more on ....you do not want rusting behind the lead because of trapped water. That is what we do here anyway....but only if you get soaked on a really bad day.I have just rung Krieghoff UK and they say that they don't stock these weights as the set only weighs 40 grams and they are £70!

Thanks Nicola, i really hadn't considered that! Good job i have bought a roll of it and i was wondering what i was going to do with the rest of it. Now i know
Mine was too.....and once on i just left it. But get a soaking ....and you really need to take a look.....trust me....I am a female :wink: we are always right.....I never bothered until i was told to check. I have remembered it ever since, especially after a very wet game day where you are not back until late.
