| Brass Eagle Raptor question... Did brass eagle change the alloy of aluminum they used from the Green Raptors to the Silver/Extreme/LTD Raptors? I don't recall the reciever of my silver one being as light as even my stock Greenie reciever.

 | I think the silver you are referring to is actually a REALLY light blue. -Jake

| Does that mean I'm right and they did change the alloy in the guns?

| I dont believe so. The Raptors were annoed a "off" light blue at one point and then they actually had a sivler "clear". I pretty sure its all the same metal though. -Jake

 | AFAK, the Raptors used the same metal for all the variants of Raptor. I've had all of the models, and have seen no diffrence. I don't believe they ever did a 'light blue' Raptor. They did have the Wallmart Dark Blue, and the silver Eagles were just clear anno.

| Maybe I was just a real big pansy when I had the silver Raptor then. The raptors I have now seem a trillion times lighter.

| Well, the vertical adaptors on those things are made of steel. That adds a lot of weight. Replace it with one of these  would really lighten things up.
