AA S200- adding weight to front?

Very happy with the performance of my new S200 FT, however, am looking for recommendations or ideas for adding a bit of weight to the muzzle end.
Not looking for much, as I do want to keep it light weight overall. Thinking roughly 3-4 oz to help just a bit with holding on the bull when shooting offhand. Have found a balance a little forward of center to help in the past.
Haven't seen any muzzle weight options for this particular rifle. Moderator is one option- have looked into the TKO offerings, but not sure it would add much to the forward balance given their very light weight. May get one anyway for it's... "other" benefits.
Have also looked at some of the brass parts available, the air tube nozzle cover in particular. Can't find any reference to it's weight, though.
Willing to entertain any & all ideas, & thanks in advance for your help!

My son added a brass air splitter, and brass fill cover to his. He said the extra weight helped a lot. The only bad thing was it made the gun a lot louder.

Thanks Tom! An air splitter is something I hadn't considered.

Large diameter lead solder.
Wind it around the barrel, just behind the muzzle weight.

Like this... will allow for getting the weight "just right"... can always dress it up later to make it semi-permanent.
