tiffanyarussell New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/05/2022 7:08 pm Do u know if that also causes weight to be lowered cause it weighs .12 less or is that normal. Sorry I'm very novice on this. But I do appreciate you sharing knowledge thank you Report this Post to the Staff

If it was both layers missing it would weigh about 1.6 to 1.7.I have a 66 with reverse layer missing, it weighs 1.96. With a layer missing it wouldn't be as well struck up. Keep looking.
