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 8ozs
