anybody know what a decked out emag weighs? i'm trying to weigh mine and the bathroom scales are problematic. 14 inch barrel, stainless warp body, stock rail and lowers, new AGD battery, warp feed with 12v mod, gas thru stock, and with 2 different loaders, a 12v revy and a 6aa halo.

any guesses?

um...you know, i've actually got all of that here if you can believe that. what barrel, exactly? i can weigh it all on my digital scale later tonight.

also, to use bathroom scales to weigh things, first stand on the scale by yourself, and then stand on it holding the object you want to weigh. subtract the two to get a ballpark number.

the barrel is an amson ssr but i have several different brands and types of twistlocks. the problem with the bathroom scales was that i weighed myself then picked up the marker with the revy on the warp and the difference was 8.2 lbs then i switched the revy for a halo and it gave me the same weight and i know the halo is heavier than the revy.

because I have to pay one baggage fee to bring my equipment with me to Tunaball and I don't want to have to pay the fee for the bag being too heavy.:wave:

They only gave us 40 pounds, the empty bag weighs 10.

41 to 70 is a 50 dollar overweight fee, each way.

I'll end up paying that probably.

Send stuff to either the field or a layover person like myself and pack the essentials.

Wait.

You're a dude.

And you're planning on 30+ lbs of clothes for a weekend?

Turn in your man card.

Ship gear to the field or other member, free up space in your luggage. Problem solved.

Clothes in Carry on.

AGD toolbox is a bag of orings, LX carriers and 2 allen keys, you might even be able to get that through airport security...

Looking into UPS'ing the gear and doing what I have to do to stay under 40 pounds since I already paid for one bag.

Either way its more expense, but then how often do I do this anyway....

I guess if I was someone else I could wear the same smelly stuff for four days.

Nah

You can buy cheap socks for the weekend and then throw them out.

Cologne for the times you can't get a shower.

Buy any travel size deodorants, tooth brushes and other toiletries and then when you are done, pitch then.

You can always borrow things like packs to save on weight and space.

But you will figure it out.

solved my scale problems

ssr barrel, agd battery, standard emag valve with level 10, warpfeed with agd bracket, stainless warp body, stock lowers and rail, sight rail, gas thru t stock

with the revy and 4 9v batteries it comes in a 7 lbs, 6.8 ounces
with the 6aa halo and 2 9v batteries it comes in at 7lbs, 13.8 ounces

sure feels like the halo is heavier than the revy by more than 7 ounces.
