Happy Jack, 

Thank you for the analysis and prompt feedback.  It is duly noted.

Had a cowboy with a "new to him" 1911 that failed the weight check.  We found a tungsten guide rod in it when he disassembled it. It was news to him. 

The current rules read "Empty magazines must weigh no more than three ounces."  I would like a clarification that magazine weight was not changed when base pads were legalized.

 

I have reviewed the records from several years of state WB matches and found the average weight was just over 2.5 ounces with a couple of heavy outliers at 2.7 ounces.  A glued-on pad should not make the the average magazine over weight, but a screwed on pad on one of the heavy outliers could push it over the 3 ounce limit.

 

Thanks!
