Felt swing weight and balance weight at the shoulder is considerably less. Hefting the removed parts versus new, probably a pound so far. I didn't weight everything yet as I am not quite done stripping weight. There's another pound that can be removed up top going to the light weight lpvo and lowering it's center of gravity.
When will we see a 36 inch, 1:16 twist rate shrouded barrel kit for the .357 rattler. Call it the Long Strike kit, I don't give a damn. Just give us a longer more accurate and powerful reach. Is that too much to ask for?
Longer barrel is better for power, for sure. However, a fast 16:1 twist rate will probably not group well at all, even with a long slug. For a 1" long slug the fastest twist with good stability factor is only appoaching 20:1. The tried and tested 26:1 twist rate is ideal for almost all 357 caliber slug variants except for the longest with the most rifing engagement. Those long slugs will be slow and loping to the target.When will we see a 36 inch, 1:16 twist rate shrouded barrel kit for the .357 rattler. Call it the Long Strike kit, I don't give a damn.

It looks like the oring-to-valve seal is leaking, not missing. You need to degass the bottle and then remove the valve and replace the o-rings.
Yes, I they do seal between the bottle and nipple on the gun on that rough looking o-ring in that top picture. I'd look at the nipple on the gun too. It might need a bit of polishing on the sharp corner if it's making an o-ring that rough on just a single assembly pass or two.
