    The 45/45 version of that tank is the one of the lightest adjustable tanks currently on the market. The start of the thread said something like "why put all this money into weight savings if you're going to put a 6 lb tank on your gun" My response is simply, I don't use a 6 lb tank, I use the macdev, with other lightweight accessories, so for me its worth the cost. That's all.

      Yeah, MacDev tanks are constructed with weight in mind, so it's the lightest adjustable tank available. Some think the DYE Ti Throttle is lighter, but I can't shell out the close to $400 to weigh it.

      And I don't mind you following me, just keep your eyes up.

      See you at SC this weekend. Russ, you better be there too.

          Oh hell yes! Fresh meat!

          J/K, of course. Bring your friends, family, aquiantances. It's really a great group to play with. We'll look after them. Word of caution, leave the camo at home.

                    My anti-siphon 20oz Al CO2 tanks weight exactly 3 lbs full. But I'm sure HPA would be lighter, because I could get rid of all the junk on my marker that lets me get good results out of CO2. (ask anyone that's seen a pic of my marker).

                          K. I guess since you're wearing the tuxedo I'll have to wear the Elephant one.

                            I have always thought that a lighter gun wont make any difference to my game. My buddy has been harping on getting a litter gun for a while and got a ule mag w/a dynaflo, x-valve and J&J Ceramic barrel. I traded my bladed cocker for his mag for a few games....crap....now I have a ULE mag on its way. Before yall start in on me Im 6'4 225lbs and pretty fast and always thought that a couple of pounds ment nothing but i was wrong. I was snap shotting much faster and more accuratly. So...before you knock a lighter gun try it out, it may suprise you.

                            Its been a while since I used a co2 tank but they are much heavier than fiber wraped tanks

                              My point was this:

                              You want to save some serious weight on your gun?
                              Without paying a fortune (in milling and reannodizing, new gun of the month, etc.)?

                              Then consider a remote!
                              Yes, old, unstyling, not hip.

                              But an instant 4-5 POUNDS off your marker.
                              Not an ounce here, and an ounce there.....
                              But actually cut the weight of your gun package in half.


                              "Now how much would you pay?" =P

                                I used to use a remote (before it became uncool)with my Mini-Mag cause it was easier than antisiphoning all my CO-2 tanks. I kinda liked it, except when I tried to set my gun down after a game. The gun was light as hell tho, and not a bad balance either. I am mostly worried about balance than weight.
