I was pretty confident it was the floor model. It has the price tag still on it. When I contacted the seller he first said that it was probably my FFL that did that to try and make his company look bad because they sell guns so cheap. He said they don't even open there boxes up from the factory when they send them off. I then pointed out the price tag, he checked with his employees and found out it was the floor model. He apologized and said he would take it back if I wanted to.

I don't think I am going to send it back. It sure doesn't look like anything was damaged. I took it apart tonight and weighed mine. I'm posting those weights as I spent much time searching the interwebs for correct weights when looking to order mine:
Complete Gun - 6 lbs 2oz
Barrelled Action - 3 lbs 8oz
Stock (no recoil pad) - 2lbs 2oz
Recoil Pad and screws - 4oz
Magazine and trigger guard assembly 4oz
Based on some rudimentary math I tried to determine barrel weight per inch. I found the balance point of the barreled action (18" from the end of the barrel) took the barrelled action weight divided by 2 = 28ozs then took 28/18 to get 1.55 oz per inch of barrel. So cutting the barrel down to a 16" would remove roughly 8ozsLast edited by Jakeismydog2; 01-09-2020, 03:00 AM.
