Decided to replace my flush cup with a Sikes rail for a little more flexibility. Manners had it back to me in about a week which was a pleasant surprise

I'm not a big fan of the Sikes rail, but there's no doubt that the Manners peeps are rare and awesome these days in how they handle their craftsmanship and their customer service.
I've had mine for a while and still, every time I pull mine out of the case I'm like "Dang, this thing is nice" lol.
So IDK what the deal is with Manners' heavier steel "MAX rail" for the TCS, but it's starting to seem like it's never coming out... I emailed their CS a few weeks ago about it, and they said they have no idea when it's going to be released.
I already purchased the 1.2lb front stabilizer weight thingy and 6 of their square 1.8oz weights that fit their newer non-A419 aluminum rail months ago (to have them on hand to play with once I got a hold of one of the MAX rails), but they've just been sitting on my bench collecting dust since I don't have the newest rail.
I run the OG steel rail that they no longer offer with all of the steel weights inserted and it weighs 2.6lbs and I am 95% happy with how my gun feels and balances at ~22lbs with a fat pig Razor G3 on top.
That said, I would like to push the weight more out front toward the muzzle as I like the way that feels a bit better (having experimented with stacking a bunch of wheel balancing weights out front on the rail before).
Allegedly (from Manners text on their TCS page on their site) the newer aluminum rail that takes the square weights weighs 2.2lbs... but I kind of find that hard to believe since my OG steel rail weighs 2.6lbs (and steel weighs A LOT more than aluminum).
Can someone who has the newest aluminum arca rail like in the pic below help me out and confirm what it weighs?
Theoretically, if it weighs what they say it does, I should be able to just order one of the newer rails and bolt on the front stabilizer thingy and end up where I want to be at around the same weight as I'm running now or a little more just pushed forward.
Thanks.

Had to do some digging to find it since I immediately replaced it with a 360 precision steel rail, but here's the latest version aluminum rail with all the weights...
360 precision steel rail weighs right about 40oz, and I believe the OG steel rail on my oldest TCS with all the weights comes in right about 37oz.
Man, thanks for the help!
So it appears my hunch was correct and someone at Manners didn't weigh their rail correctly or made a typo (1.39lbs vs 2.2lbs).
IIRC my OG steel rail weighs 2.6lbs or 41.6ozs (but I'm going to pull it and weigh it again to be sure), so if my math is right*, using the newer aluminum rail like in your pic with the front stabilizer weight would put the rail at ~38ozs.
*Since 1.39 rounded to 1.4lbs = 22.4ozs - 3.6ozs (2 x 1.8ozs since I need 2 empty slots for the front stabilizer) + 1.2lbs/19.2ozs for the front stabilizer = 38oz.
IDK, sounds like I'll lose a few ounces overall (which I wasn't really looking for, I'd actually like to add a pound), but, it might accomplish getting the weight more out front and make the gun feel more front-biased like I'd like.
Honestly, it might be a lot of dicking around for not much return on investment.
Or maybe... DM me how much you want for that rail you're not using lol..?
FWIW the 360 steel rail made my 20" MTU barreled TCS balance perfectly with a slight favor to the front end and rear end weight in place.
At the risk of sounding repetitive, the current version of the 360 Precision steel Manners TCS rail also has RRS R-lock dimples
I just got my stock Yesterday and yes it still has dimples, but I'm in Canada, we are pretty slow to get thingsAt the risk of sounding repetitive, the current version of the 360 Precision steel Manners TCS rail also has RRS R-lock dimples
