Light as Possible

[olinar]

as far as replacing the trigger all you need to do is cut your old guard off and tap the trigger pin out ,line the newone up and knock the pin back in.

Lightest setup, IMO...

Dallara rail (or Alpha if possible)
Exile Body
CF frame with Dye double trigger and cut trigger guard
Whisper Barrel
Xvalve w/ LX
DW CF foregrip

IMHO, the UL Frame is noticably lighter and all around better than a CF double trigger'd frame.

Yea I would agree with eh UL frame. I just dont really like the idea of cutting off my trigger guard, but i might pick a CF frame pretty cheap, so i might have both. But actually the lightest barrel available right now is the Stiffi. I mean not by much. I think its less then 20 grams actually but it still is lighter. But what do you guys think about the quality and function Hyper-frames (not as much on weight here)?

This man speaks the truth, assuming that the Exile body is that one that Rogue sells that's cut off the same length as a Classic rail.

I'd also spring for the UL frame. Some places will not let you use a marker with the trigger guard cut off of it. Just an FYI.

Plus, what you possibly might lose in weight (which is debatable I'd say) you more than gain back in both looks and comfort as well as ROF potential and universal acceptance by fields.

A Stiffi may be lighter but I'm not buying the 20 grams (that's 0.71 ozs) bit. I own Whisper barrels, and I don't see how you could make a barrel any lighter and still attach it to a marker. Besides, the Whisper uses Freak inserts and only costs $90 new. A Stiffi is at least twice that, AND you can't use a battle swab in one. I'll toss money Deadlywind's direction over Site any day. At the very least, you know what you're getting from Colin is a fine piece.

Yea i agree with the UL Frame idea but i think i will pick up a cheap used CF frame also and keep it single trigger just for fun. I really like the UL Pro frame but i am kinda made that they no longer come with the option of the splinter trigger. But about the trigger i retract my statement. It is only a difference of 6 grams and I do like the easy availability of freak inserts and I love the quality of Colin's parts. So CoolHand, Colin should thank you for a sale.

Hyperframes are either great or horrible. They can be picky about how your mag is set up and tuned... but one they're ripping they rip hard. They are more or less a commonplace devilframe with a sub-par board in them.

As far as the weight issue... keep in mind that a superior performing marker has far more utility than a featherweight AGG marker. If this weren't true, Mags would have dissappeared long ago - as thier saving grace is their utility by virtue of reliability and performance. I'm not saing saying weight is a moot point due to the fact that some setups can become quite cumbersome... however, squabbling over a few ounces is childish.

I does what I cans for good folks.

Yea I agree with that but the frame has come down the the UL or Hyper-Frame and the fussyness of the Hyper-frame seems a little annoying since I will be paying a decent amount for it. But about the board in them, I have heard they absolutly ripe if you replace the board with a predator board.
