Movie theater projector bulbs have a rod of tungsten.
I had a couple I got from the guy who changed them.

The stock he has you can only put 2 holes 1 1/2 deep the pull can be shorten an you could put a heavy but plate on it . Mine I added a round stainless keel between the butt and the pistol grip . Larry

Tungsten's worth the trouble & expense given its density. There are a couple of elements that are denser, but you probably don't want to be handling them or have 'em nearby often, let alone what they'd cost you.

What you are looking for is "Mallory Metal", aka as "heavy metal" around automotive rebuilders and racing shops. It's easy to machine which makes it very user friendly.

Goodsons is just one place to mail order it. McMaster Carr has it also.

WOW!

One inch long x one inch diameter = $48.00 (1/2 lb./ 227 grams)

My removable weight system will only accept 7/8" diameter rod.
I thought I hit the jackpot here. But they are 1" diameter

Bismuth works well...

What you're looking for is depleted uranium. It's 68.4% denser than lead. Unfortunately, it's bad for your health if you ingest any of the dust so be careful if you cut it. It's also a bit tricky to find. You might start with a substantial donation to one of the many Clinton charity foundations. Once the money is properly laundered and in the hands of you-know-who, you might get lucky and find yourself with a source.

Are you willing to say, "Gee Chelsea,......... You're so beautiful in person"?

Do you speak Russian?

You can find 3/4 x12 Copper/Tungsten rod (70/30) at Saturn Industries. We have used these rods in the butt stock of a few guns.

Yes

I just ordered 1" copper. $25 for 12 inches. Will spend the leftover $$ on other projects. Will have to use 4" instead of 2".
