Why are Cyma (and I think Well) sniper rifles so much heavier than JG?

Clearly there is more metal in them, but where is it?

Do they use any steel parts?

Pot metal is significantly heavier than aluminium. Unlikely steel because... well, it's cyma.

 

[emilianoksa]

True, but the JG will be pot metal too.

Most of the weight of my MB-03 is in the outer barrel.  Even fractions of a mm in thickness will add up pretty quickly.

My well l96 did have a massive chunk of metal glued into the stock!

The MB-03 could do with some more weight at the back, I've been ponding filling the stock with silicone gloop.
