Weighed two of my leather handguards on USPS scales. One is for 16 gauge (I use it on 12s), made/sold by Galco, and weighs 2,0 oz. Other is for 20 gauge (I use in on 16s), sold by Galazan (no idea who makes it), and weighs 2,5 oz. There is clearly more leather in 16 gauge size, so mouldable metal spring in 20 gauge size has to weigh more.

Guess this validates Franc's status as a sensitive shotgunner. Either that or he tried some lead-filled handguards.
