For sure with the casting variations, maybe it truly does only weigh that little, but it surprises me. Usually scales like gauges are more accurate at mid range in this case 500#. I would not expect that a 1000# gauge would accurately read 95# (9.5% of scale)....

Interesting and thought provoking none the less......
