A lewis or flues will usually always be lighter than a comparable NID in the same gauge. This is because of the design of the actions and how much metal is machined out of it. The NID is much more stout of a frame.

Flues guns especially are very lightweight in the frames. And the earlier versions are prone to the frames cracking when improper loads are used.
