WEIGHTS AND SIZES

Maximum weight for N.R.A. Black Powder Cartridge Silhouette is 12 pounds 2 .ounces with sights.

A 45 caliber silhouette rifle with a thin side action and 34 inch barrel will make weight.

If you want to add extra fancy wood or a thick side action, we may have to drill some extra holes under the butt plate or go to a 32 inch barrel to make weight.

The thick side action weighs 4 ounces more than the thin side action.

Maximum weight for N.R.A. Black Powder Long Range is 15 pounds.
