I use an old baby scale ..... the kind with weights. It even has a wheel to adjust for the weight of the diaper. BTW I am still using cloth diapers from our youngest (now 37) as gun rags ..... we statred with about 10 doz ..... they are very soft and almost lint free.

PS: I also use the same scale to weigh flour for big batches of bread..... I'm set up to do 6lbs at a time or more.

I use a digital fish scale. If you break open a gun, you can usually balance it well on the scale by hooking it through the extractors/ejectors. Cover the hook with plastic if you're worried about scratches. You can also hang the gun from any type of rope or sling after you've zeroed out the scale with the rope/sling attached. I sometimes hang the scale, imagining that I can get a more accurate weight if I'm not holding it.

If you can find one these days, I suggest an old baby scale. Works for me.

Check out this ebay store. Scales start at $0.98. and you might get lucky for that price, I just got one for $4.25. They do charge $14.88 for shipping and $2.00 insurance, so that is how they make up the money. They have a high rating with a 100% positive feedback. http://stores.ebay.com/Just-Pounds-and-Ounces

I saw that Holland & Holland check trigger pulls with actual iron weights, not a pull guage like most of us have. The method you mentioned is standard operating procedure for any quality triggersmith and is not particular to H&H. While I am certain that many modern smiths are moving to the digital arena most of the better triggersmiths will all use the standard lead weight methods. The reason for this is simple, the use of actual dead weight is not effected by any torque that might arise when using a digital measuring mechanism. JRH

The Lyman digital trigger pull gage is pricy (about $60), lacks a "weigh" mode, but give very accurate weights if handled carefully. Very fine trigger pull gage, too.

I use a digital Ohaus CS5000 http://www.ohaus.com/products/view/overview.asp?HKEY=001001003003&Source= which has a 5Kg limit. It is accurate to 0.1oz. There is a 2Kg Cal weight available that I have but you don't really need the Cal weight. In the 4 years i have had the scale it is has never changed. I purchased this scale from ITIN. Most of the above mentioned methods are suspect and if you want to give an accurate weight of your doubles, you need precision equipment.-Dick

Most of the above mentioned methods are suspect I use a balance beam postal scale graduated to ½oz, plenty close enough for the purpose in my opinion. But then I also don't use equipment graduated to .0001" for measuring framing studs either, just a tape measure.
