Same as the original, about 21 lbs. Its actually rather well balanced, and since I won't be carrying my K98k, K98k ammo/ammo pouches, and I'll have a loader to carry the ammo, it actually won't be that bad at all. Since its shieldless, I'll also be rocking gasmask and welding gloves to "protect" me from the rocket exhaust
I'm also getting it repainted. Going with a primer, then fieldgrey basepaint, then quickly applied winter whitewash using burlap to apply it, followed by finnish geometric camo (works for german too). That way, as the paint flakes, much like on my helmet, it'll show the previously applied paints. Makes it loook a lot better, and gives it some history. My helmet is actually tuned to my persona, with field grey basepaint from my time in Italy, then winter camo for my service in the 43 winter in russia, followed by apple green with purple/brown and khaki splotches and dark green leaves painted into the camo pattern, light oxide texturization, and a single wire frame. It looks really good now, as the paint flakes off, and exposes little white and fieldgrey, and even bare metal, areas of the helm
