Removable Butt Stock Weight Kit?

[HTSmith]

I'm wanting to boost my 10.5 lb 6PPC rifle up to 13.5 lb (or close) to take full advantage of the UBR rules. I have HV barrel to screw on, but will need some weight in the back for balance. And I'd like to go back to 10.5 lb by removing the weight and swapping out the barrel. Is there a kit of some sort available to do this? Lacking that a homemade solution? It is a Kelbly stock if that matters. Thanks for your advice.

PMA has a weight bolt system however the heaviest weight is 8 oz excluding the sleeve.

Thank you. I'll check it out. Thinking I may need a full pound.

Recently, @jimmymac and I worked up a weight system for his LV gun (10.5 lbs) to bring it up to HV weight (13.5) and better balance it. Jim sent his butt plate and a piece of .750 O.D. tungsten copper rod 8" long to use as the weight. Here's what we did, in case someone is looking at doing something along these lines.

First thing was to drill and tap the tungsten copper rod for 1/4-20 threads. Not a great pic but you get the idea.

Jim had marked the butt plate where he wanted the weight to go. Milled a .250 hole in it at that location...
