ive been all hyped up on ULE stuff but have only been told its Lighter than what i have now...... well now that ive got a chance to buy some stuff im wondering is it really worth it!? i mean around $200 for a ULE gripframe and another $80 for the body rail... thats the price of a stock mag! and to hear some of these new aluminum milled bodies will be running in the $200 + scares me cause that will put your total at $480+ I want to know the weight diffrences of these products once and for all! its making me angry when i ask and no one knows...

Today I read that Tom said that the ULE rail is 3oz. lighter than stock. There's a few degrees of seperation there but if it's true that aint bad. Personally I wouldn't go for the ULE frame unless the clam shell really bothers you. -
kinda funny how as emag users go towards '45 shaped frames w/a flat back, all the timmy users want to trade in their 45 and stock frames for clamshells...Comment

No problem. I'm guessing about a pound when it is all done assuming a person does it all.Originally posted by Aliens-8-MyDad

Yes it is pricy - but then is a lot cheaper then the Xmag. (I'd love one - but can't justify the price having an Emag and have just bought a new house...)

Not all Emag users. I actually like the hump on the back of the frame. I'm not sure how much weight difference there is, but for me, the price and hassle of swapping it out don't justify me buying one.Originally posted by Sinnet

A pregnant lady I once knew told me that "the hump" was the sexist thing there was. I believe they are indeed more comfortable to hold.

Think about the ounces though. They do start to add up.
ULE Rail: 3.6 oz lighter then stock
Xvalve: 3 oz lighter then stock (I consider this a ULE part)
ULE Frame: Lets say 3 for sake of argument.
ULE body: The Festuss body was 4 ounces lighter than stock.
So 13.6 ounces. Now tell me that is not a big difference. If people wouldn't pay for lighter guns, WDP wouldn't make the FLY, WGP wouldn't make the mini cocker, and Brass Eagles wouldn't make the Talon .
It addes up. I have a milled rail, frame, frymark battery pack, and an X-Valve.
I can tell the difference just now, and I am getting an AL body. My Max Flow now feels heavier than my gun with the barrel.
Just my humble opinion.

Frygirl is now making resin battery housings also. That should shave off a bit more...

Gunga weighed the milled Slug body that we all voted on with the little tear drop lines down the side. The ULE body that AGD is making is 3.85 oz without detent and with short feed cup. Compared to 7.2 oz for the standard powerfeed body.Comment
