Title: 5/16" Wingnut Weight?
Post by: Bowspirit on March 05, 2007, 07:16:00 PM

Making up a batch of wingnutters, and just curious: How much does a 5/16" wingnut weigh, if anyone knows?

The ones I hve weigh in at 210 grains on my 3 Rivers electronic scale.  The regular nuts weighed in at 120 grains.

Seems pretty heavy, Walt. I think that may be a 3/8" wingnut, and not a 5/16", because I know Southpawshooter makes up a head composed of a 8/32" machine screw, a small nut, a washer, and a 5/16" wingnut that weighs in at 210 grains...

If your going to use them on aluminium or carbon arrows,I know that a 1/4" wingnut and a stainless steel 1" 8-32 flat head machine screw (w/beeswax) weigh 125grs.

I like the 5/16" for my wood arrows,but I use the 1/4" with the screw for my aluminium 2016's   :bigsmyl:
