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.

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.

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.
