The SL66
This information was taken from
NickyT 's thread on PbN which can be found
here . More information can be found at
www.PlanetEclipse.com
Planet Eclipse decided to try and make an extremely light marker, and as far as I'm concerned, they suceeded. I believe XSV will be using this marker, and it will be released sometime in April.
This gun is much smaller than the Ego6, with it being 14% lighter and 0.2" shorter. As you can see in the pictures below, the trigger guard has more metal shaved off on the top, which means no more magnets, only springs. PE doesn't seem to think that will matter much because apparently the XSV guys only use spring return.
Specs :
NEW - Exclusive Light-Weight Parts to SL66:
SL66 Frame
SL66 Trigger
SL66 Front Cap
SL66 On/off purge
SL66 Front Regulator Mount
SL66 Swivel In-Line Regulator
SL66 Front LPR Cap
SL66 Bolt
SL66 XSV Machined Body
SL66 XSV Navigation Console
Other Parts :
Nexus Style Eye Covers
Ego 6 Board
6 Firing Modes
Shaft 2-piece Barrel
C-Lever Clamping Feed

The stock Ego6 is 966 grams, so I'll let you do the math.

Now what does that include?

I personally like it better than any other ego, except maybe the Nexus. Only thing is the reg looks really wierd.... but then again all the ego regs have always looked wierd to me when they were first released, then I got used to them.
