Using this guide..

I figure a Stock ULE Mag will weigh.. 28.8 ounces plus barrel 2.8oz asa 4oz and screws and macro fittings.

Does this sound about right?

Powertube w/Internals, Stock On/Off, L7 Powertube Tip Assembly(w/o BoltSpring): 3.1 oz.*

Reg w/Internals: 3.9 oz.*

Level 10 Bolt w/Foamie: 1.3 oz.*

Body w/Stock Feedneck, AGD Detent, C-Clip/Retaining Washer: 3.9 oz.*

Frame w/Dye Sticky3 Grips, Safety, AGD Pro Blade Trigger - 7.9 oz.*

AGD ULE E-Mag Rail - 3.7 oz.*

AGD Pro ASA(ASA Only) : .8 oz

AGD Bicycle Grip: 4.2 oz.
Remember I am new to mags... So I don't know if all these parts are right, However my new shocker NXT weights 38 ounces... A mag lighter than a shocker?

My ULE Chord Mag weighs in at 2lb 2.4oz (34.4oz) with ASA and fittings and without barrel, tank, or hopper. So, yes, if a Shocker weighs in at 38oz there are lighter Mags out there.

Looks better, too:

My barrel - Titanium Longbow, aluminum - is 4.6oz.

Though I don't know how much all those piece you listed weigh individually. I do know that that's an odd collection of parts up there and they won't all work together (lvl7 parts and lvl10 parts?).

What valve do you want to use? An X-Valve will be lightest since it's aluminum and the rest are stainless steel. Doesn't do you a whole lot of good to list out valve parts that don't work together.

Fully ULE'd Mags are very light, though. I also know mine weighs less than an '07 Dark Marq as I've held both at the same time.

Im using a lvl 10 x valve, this is why I needed help notsure what parts are what, but don't worry about it, as Im forgeting the whole things,

I rather a heavy gun over a 2 pound marker.. As long as its not as heavy as an old impulse..

Nope, won't be that heavy. Really, it won't be heavy at all if it's ULE.

Isn't a .68 Classic only 2.55 lbs (40.8 oz) complete? That's not bad considering it includes barrel, reg, and asa...when you consider that half the parts are stainless steel, there's a lot of potential for reducing weight.
