15yr old thread? wow.
They're still around just not in Canada anymore.I didn't realize it was a 15 year old thread until Falcon was mentioned.
Everyone is right on the thread. Predator butts are made by Falcon. At least most of them. Now they have a LE 10 that was made by Mezz but that is a different topic. Take the bumper off. You will see a hex bolt. Take it out. See how it feels. If it is too light you can buy a shorter bolt. That is how you would adjust the weight somewhat accurately. The bolts come in 2" increments 6" being the largest. I believe the 6" bolt weighs 2oz or so. Also, the bolts come in two flavors....Aluminum and stainless steel. The stainless is much heavier. You can tell what you have if the bolt has a shine to it or bright silver it is the aluminum if it is drab in color it is the steel. If you need to buy one call Falcon or Predator and they will send you one for 2 or 3 dollars. Or just go to your local hardware store and you may find one there. Hope this helps.
Or, you could just remove the bolt and cut it in half with a hacksaw.
For more precise adjustment, weigh it with a kitchen scale that measures in grams, decide what % of its weight you want to remove, measure it’s length, then shorten it by that same %. But remember, best to cut slightly less than your calculation, since you can always cut more later.
