Flyer770 is on a distinguished road
I'm pretty sure Cessna, and most other GA manufacturers, never weighed planes on the line and instead based their numbers on a perfectly built theoretical plane. Add in years of rounding errors and absorption of fluids by fabric and insulation and it's not surprising that the theoretical and actual weights can differ.
