Loc On windwalker?

[rakbowhunter]

Hello, I ran across this on a sale site and was wondering if y'all might have any insight on this model? Looks to be fairly old but pretty light. Messaged the seller but haven't received a reply yet. Hard to find much info since the company closed. Thanks!

Not a windwalker... this is a black lighting model

 

[rakbowhunter]

Any specs on it? I'll do some research as well. Primarily looking at the weight. Thanks for the reply!

 

[Anobody]

Google it.. would not be my first choice I’d steer u towards a limit or windwalker.

I want to say they're right around 12lbs....not one of their lightest models...

 

[rakbowhunter]

Kinda of what I'm gathering in reading up on it. Thought I stumbled onto something. Thanks

 

[rakbowhunter]

Sorry, last one! I know this isn't a windwalker either but I couldn't find anything on google that resembled this one. Thoughts?

 

[Vtbow]

That's a warren and sweats, I think it is between 7 and 8 lbs.

 

[rakbowhunter]

Cool, they have it priced at $15. Think I'll give it a try

 

[Anobody]

Good score at 15$

I’d prob remove the Rivets and weld all those in place.

I can definitely see that. Looks like a pretty good little stand otherwise. I can afford to do that if I can pick it up for $15.

Appreciate it guys!

Just a quick update. The only tag it had on is was a warning but at the very bottom it said WS# ......... So @Vtbow was spot on. This thing is super light. I weighed it at 6lbs 8oz with the strap. Probably going to remove the old strap and add 2 versa buttons. What looked like rivets are actually bolts and lock nuts. They seem pretty tight so will find out soon enough. Any thoughts on replacing the cables with some 3/16 amsteel? Not necessarily to save weight, but to quiet it down a bit. Think I'm going to really enjoy this little guy

 

[Anobody]

I’d stick with cables and as for buttons make sure you go through ruby if and not the iD plates. Not a lot if meat on those bones.

Not sure I'm following you there. Do you mean the main posts and not the little crossbar? The original strap is ok, I just don't like how I can't remove it for transport.

But you're right, not much to this thing!
