You can start working out for free and it will feel more lightweight.

grind off every non essential piece of metal. Purchase a lightweight hammer, get a carbon fiber barrel, etc.
OR Save yourself the trouble and extra money and just go buy a newer generation electro. |

It's a 98. You're not going to make it light.
Go to the gym more and you won't notice the weight.

I always though 98's were pretty light. Maybe you should get a smaller tank and don't fill your hopper so much. And also you should lift weights so you're not a girly-man.

I'd say if your that bent on making it THAT light you should just do away with the barrel and get a shorter one, smaller hopper, remote line, take the plastic front grip off, rear sight off, grind crap off.
I mean really the only thing those are going to do is take a few grams off or so, and I mean, what is a few grams? That and grinding stuff off incorrectly or at all will probably make your gun look like king kong's bo-sack after taking a hit from a missile. Conclusion - Buy a lighter gun, or upgrade your Tippmann with different goals in mind.
