other wersions of the TRG-22 ?

Because green weights more than black, everyone knows that!

Dunno, send an email to them and ask.

 

[Svinfylking]

Yes, but does anyone know where the extra weight comes from.
There must be more than the collor that is different. :?

Svinfylking,

Sub was just being sarcastic (kidding).... the color itself will not amount to THAT much of a weight difference. Its a good question that should be asked of SAKO.

The info on Berettas page shows them as the same weight. My guess is that it was probably a typo.

I missred what SubThermal wrote, i thaught it said "Because the green version weights more than the black, everyone knows that".
I have e-mailed Sako´s office in Sweden, but have not recived an answer yet.

I was being sarcastic, with a touch of asshole.

Anyway, I'm sure it was a typo.

Sorry to bring up a 3 year old thread, but I thought I'd give it a resolution for anyone who wants know in the future. I contacted Beretta to ask the same question and got this reply after 3 weeks: "The phosphatized model will have a heavier green stock. and a side rail attached to the F/E."
Not sure why green is heavier, but I guess an added rail would make sense. Hope this helps someone.

They painted a black gun green and used 0.4 kilos of green paint - but 0.2 kilos of the weight was solvents that evaporated or otherwise bled off...

Does that work?

:lol:

I have heard that the stock material for the green version is a denser and stronger material as per mil spec.

The Green stocks , are the Military version of the std stock , and the main point is the stock is 1/2 pound heavier as Its a stronger version , it is also Green in colour & has different sling attachment points .
