Adding weight to stocks/ chassis

[cattleman99]

$7 after coupon at harbor freight. Adhesive backing. Anyone use these to add weight to their stocks or chassis?

interesting idea

i've used Duct Seal Compound which is very easy to roll into different shapes. I wrap some with a layer of saran wrap so that it not only fits into a variety of cavities and contours but it's also really easy to remove should you change your mind. It's a pretty dense/heavy construct and seems to work very well.. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-1-lb-Plug-Duct-Seal-Compound-DS-110/100212441

Yep, but I’m not going to shoot a match with bags of dirt or sand on my rifle

A bravo chassis I got from @hookedonbrass had these in it and I loved it. I’m going to do it to all my krg chassis

I've got a Remington 700 7mm mag with the ADL synthetic stock. I filled the but stock with sand. I used stick on wheel weights in the fore grip. I covered the wheel weights in JB weld. Then I sanded the barrel channel to free float the barrel. And painted the channel black to hide everything.

I used rockite concrete in a box. It stiffened up a stock and added weight.

If you run a chassis on your rifle and have the cash , someone manufactures rail mounted weights . I can't remember and will do some diggin .

Thanks! Since this thread we have started manufacturing weighted LOP spacers and M-Lok weights, so the need for a solution is no more.
