Well having a stock will help you shoot straighter, and quicker target aquisition... as far as a red dot sight its personal preferance...If you had balisticly perfect paint it would be worth it, but we don't...:(
But if you putting on the extra 45* rails might as well have a sight...LOL you can always take it off...

why use a stock when a 45/45 works perfectly? honestly it's just added weight

Though it is unusual, a LOT of the people i play with run Sniper II's with Dot Sites, and Find them to be terribly accurate. The red dots work very well for me, but i seldom use it...I should. But I dont. I use my 68-4500 for shoulder support, and I admit i have the accuracy of an uninflated beach-ball. But If you like dot sites- they are Pretty awesome in my book.

Scpaintballer01 your post isn't logical...how can a stock weigh as much as a tank....have you ever used both???My little air thru adjustable t-stock dosn't weigh anywhere near as much as my HPA tank.
I like my weapon to be as light as possible, I also run with a remote always....my HPA tank weighs 3lb its a 91ci 4500psi...unlike a 20oz co2 tank it dosn't get lighter the more you shoot...

you're kidding me right? because a steel tank of any kind attached to a stock is going to outweigh a carbon fiber. Here are the weights for the most common tanks today:

Carleton Carbon Fiber 68/4500 DOT-11194....................2.1 lbs (953.4 Grams)
Carleton FiberGlass 68/4500 DOT-11005.......................2.6 lbs (1180.4 Grams)
Catalina Aluminum 47/3000 DOT- 3AL3000...................2.7 lbs (1225.8 Grams)
LUXFER Carbon Fiber 88/3000 DOT 10915-3000............2.3 lbs (1044.2 Grams)
LUXFER CARBON FIBER 68/4500 DOT 10915-4500...........2.1 lbs (953.4 Grams)
SCI "white" 68ci 4500psi 08/2005 bottle.......................2.5 lbs (1133.9 Grams)
Carleton Fiberglass 45/4500 DOT 11005........................1.9lbs (861.8 Grams)
stako/ceasair Composite bottle (NOT DOT approved)......1.75lbs (793.8 Grams)


This info is a sticky on PBNation that was given to them by Nitroduck. Here's the thread i got it from: Air System Wieghts - PbNation

And yes, of course your 91/4500 is going to be heavy, for gods sake it's rare to find a 88/3000 let alone a 91/45.

Part 2-
A full 20 oz Co2 tank weighs around 3 lbs 10 ounces. That its self weighs more than almost all the HPA tanks on the market. Add at with the weight of a stock which im going to give the benefit of the doubt and say 3-4 lbs = a 7-8 lbs set up.

Sorry man, i dont care what you think -- numbers dont lie. Oh and all my sources are credible:
Air System Wieghts - PbNation
Xtreme Paintball Guns, Equipment and Reviews--Pure Energy 20-oz CO2 Bottles

click more info above the picture and it will give you the full weight.

thankyou and have a nice day.

You need to go back and read all the other posts Southernstormpaintball never said he was attaching a tank to a stock...He was wondering weather or not to get the air thru with the spec ops stock...He also said he had a remote
Im sorry but no one said they were attaching a tank to there stock. I even said I had a adjustable air thru T-Stock I use with a remote system...

that's not the point. the point is a full 20 oz weighs more than any CF tank on the market. It's still added weight.

Here is whare you started....my T-stock or the spec ops stock weighs less than your 45/45....
Again no one but you said anything about attaching a tank to a stock....
Southernstormpaintball and I both said we were using remotes...DUH!
You said you use your 45/45 for your stock.
We are using our much lighter stocks
