Weight balancing kit for Hammerli 160

Post by kbc »

The original plastic forearm and trigger guard on the 160 have a total weight of about 137 g.
I have made a lighter version using carbon fiber rod, aluminum block for holding the rod, and aluminum trigger guard. The entire kit weighs about 39 g (without the screws). A weight of any size can be slided and secured onto the rod by using a set screw.
The weights shown in one of the photos are 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g.

I have used a weight of about 13 g and mounted it at the very front of the carbon fiber rod. This set up significantly improves my aim stability.
