Pachmayr Grips - Lead Weights

[shoobe01]

I did google the image and they seem to be stock adhesive wheel weights. Not ones I was familar with, so I didn't immediately recognize. But they aren't, apparently, gunstock-specific items.

Which... doesn't help me at all. Why would they be there? Only other vague thought I have is they wanted to make the package heavier or more detectable to magnetometers, or something but I have done a bit of package design, etc. and have never seen anything like this.

Packaging was my only other thought, too. It sure would be interesting to find out the real answer.

My thoughts when I got the grips last year were that they wanted the package to be detected as having metal content, but 1 would do that, and mine contained 3. Since shipping fees are often determined by weight, why would they want a heavier package?

I had all of these same thoughts as well! In my OP, I said I got "4 weights", but when I back and looked, I also only got 3. Sorry about that.
