        Out of Luck

        You're pretty much out of luck. Maybe if you get a fiberwrapped tank if that one isn't. And a superbolt might free .01 lb off your arm, but you're pretty much stuck with that weight. My gun weighs 10+ pounds I actually do arm curls with it recuarly to the point where I can hold it like a pistol. BTW Nice Gun - Thats pretty much the same setup I have.

          Besides getting a fiber tank there is not much you can do. Get a longer drop might make it balance better.

              Superbolts

              Have you been keeping up with the superbolt fiasco that little kid started? They are nice, I ordered one but you might want to take a raincheck on it for now, AGD is still troubleshooting them.

              They are a lot lighter and they chop less because they stay in the back position longer. That is the main advantage to them.

                you could cut down the body(cut off the shroud)it adds uncecessary weight, or you could just trade it for a classic body, it is ligter. if you felt daring enough and had enough skill you could also mill where the barrell is inserted after you cut the shoud off, as long as you dont remove too much materal and weaken it

                  a micro mag body, aluminum is much lighter, then you can also have the option of annodizing it also for an even more custom look. This also makes it better if you own an autococker as well because of interchangeable threads.

                        do not cut anything off your body. it will make an unnoticeable differnece. thanging the lines to macro will also not make any noticeable difference.

                        -if you are using an SS barrel, you may want to get an aluminum one.
                        -get a fiber wrapped tank. this will take off the most weight. i have the same weight problem with my 47ci flatline.
                        -lift weights or get a new gun :)

                          lighter

                          If you can still find them the diamond labs regs bodies where made of Aluminum and Titanium (only a few made I think) that will lighten it up a lot. Mind you these went the way of the dodo bird about 2 years ago I think.

                            If that is a nitrogen tank, you could lose the expansion chamber and get a smart parts gadget grip. Also, you could go remote and get the weight of the tank off the gun. That is what I did to my minimag and it seems to weigh about half of what my RT PRO with drop forward 68/3000...

                            If you really want to change the body out, I will buy your existing minimag body for $100 shipped. LMK...

                              you have no options.
                              either invest in a remote
                              and/or
                              hit the weights and curl 25 lb. dumbells(?) on each arm.
