I love the way my gun shoots, but in comparison to other guns, it's a little heavy. Is there anything I can do or buy for the gun to make it lighter?

My gun is actually fllyed, while it helps the gun shoot really fast, it doesn't make the gun any lighter.

The weight isn't the barrel...its the actual gun. Can you buy a new body/frame for the speed that's lighter?

You can't buy a new body and the only aftermarket trigger frames are the 45s from Cobra and those are about the same weight. You could get your gun custom milled but you'll only be able to shave off a few ounces. You also in turn void all warranties and can potentially damage the gun if not done properly.

Those are pretty much you're only options, stiffi barrel = one of the lightest barrels on the market right now.

what kind of tank are you using? a 45 ci fiber wrapped tank will be by far the lightest. and hit the gym.

It's not really a problem with me. I didn't notice this until people actually fired my gun. They said it ripped, but was heavier than most guns out there. My friend's cocker w/ rhythm body and e-blade is noticeably lighter than my gun.

EDIT: Would getting the evolve newton valve kit make the gun noticeably lighter?

Evolve Newton kit will add a few ounces but what the kit does is simply amazing. Totally worth the added weight and you barely notice it anyway. Most of my angels have been heavy due to me running a.i.r. One of these days I'll get a screw-in tank and cut a pound or two off my gun.
