    Agreed. I have a regular AM length ULE mag already and maybe that's what I should have done this too in the first place. However, that hardly sees as much action as this baby.

      Why, are you trying to build your arm muscles carrying this beast around or something?

          Mags are not heavy. This is a myth. With all the available ultra light parts and the compact nature of the design, you probably have more weight somewhere else. I'm not a muscle man at all, and the mags that I tote aren't light either, but you can set up a mag to be very light if you WANT it to. It all depends on your setup.

            have you had the intelli ule'd that could take off more. also you could have the body cut to match a am/mm rail and have that ule'd.

            looks good though

                  Yea, the sarcasm backfired because I can't tell if people are being serious with their advice anymore lol. But if I were to continue dumping money into this, I'd have the frame ULE milled and pay someone a ridiculous load of money for a cheater pneu setup. Already have an AM/MM length ULE mag and I prefer the longer RT length setup.

                    Wow the frame isnt ule milled thats crazy on the weight, I would get that done though since thats your target with the marker to make her lighter.I think a pneu would add weight though ,IDK. Either or really nice marker.

                      Yeah, but these are so much heavier than the AM/MM length Mags.

                      I know that extra inch or so wears out my arms.

                          Is that even an xvalve? Impressive.

                            Yes its an x valve but i will be reducing the weight of it soon to. This is put a tank and hopper on and go play ready.

                            I love the composite look of your marker. Really nice job

                            PS. it has the same body as yours but you can not see it in the pic

                              And that's with a 14" barrel as well...

                              Hills goal is much higher than mine... I'm still shooting for 1lb or less...

                              We'll see.

                                if you got rid of the pnue, milled the frame and used an asa. that would help alot.
