Anschutz 2007 Barrel weight ONLY Needed

[Guest]

I need to know the weight of just the barrel on the Anschutz 2007 barrel (the one that comes with the 660 action) to the nearest ounce.

Thank you

to the nearest ounce

Hmm, that's a tricky one. The trouble is that Anschutz barrels are metric and the weights only available in grams.

If they aren't going to be in ounces can I please get the weight in grams? I will just convert it. It also must be barrel ONLY.

Thank you

Unfortunately it's not a simple as that. The metric barrels are standard, if you want one that's weighed in ounces they are only produced to special order, and they cost more.

barrel and action weighs 3.2kg, so if you have that, take barrel off, weigh receiver only, subtract from 3.2, result = barrel weight. Convert to ounces. Allow for gravity variations across globe of course.

That cannot be true. The shooter wants to know the weight of a barrel. Undoubtedly a designer working outside the USA will specify everything in metric and weigh the barrel in metric. But it would be an odd designer indeed who specified a barrel to have a predetermined weight in grams. Close to a target weight, but not exactly -- a range would be specified.

For the purpose, the design weight will probably do. Otherwise the barrel to be used would have to be weighed. Weights in grams can be converted to weights in US ounces by multiplying by 0.0352739619 . (dividing by 28.3495). And weights in US ounces can be converted...

No. Must be that subtle British humour.

I use to e-mail the manufacturer when I need a correct answer. They ususally know the most about their own products...
