not sure all i have is this fish scale which says 1 oz, but doesnt show anything lighter than that so i dont know exactly

the body with cf back came in at 2 oz, and with grip panels and an x-valve comes in around 1.8lbs total.

light but still not as light as i had hoped :cool:

I've done something similar but with the same body, a Mini Shadow rail, AGD's CF trigger frame, a DW 10" barrel, a NDZ rail and on/off, an AKA feedneck and a X valve. It's the lightest gun I've ever held in my hands. I only would like to change the rail and on/off for a black XSV ASA but these are hard to find...

Yours is getting beautifull with that custom rail and the double trigger frame. Please post more pics when it's ready.

Not much...

Just for grins, you should put a CF frame on it and weigh it ;)

True. Not only cheap but lighter as well. But where does one find it? I tried for months...
