    Why doe'nt AGD produce an Entry level Marker?

    AGD has a mid-level and tourney-level marker line, why not an entry-level? By entry-level I refer to price, say around 100-150 dollars. Just thought I would ask.

    Why should they. Low end is a saturated market and they already have all their production lines full producing what they already make.

    You could call the classic standard feed a "low end" gun because of price, yet it has an excellent upgrade path.

      AGD guns are desinged around the Air and Retro valves. To make a cheaper gun, would require an entirley new design. Maybie in the future they will produce lower priced guns, but right now, they seem kind of rushed as it is with repairs, and working on new products.

            The mag IS an entry level marker. Just like a stock cocker.

                you can consider a mag an entry level marker. any person could easily take care of, and maintain, a mag. it is an expensive entry level marker, but a good choice. the mag can be upgraded to be a very high end tourney marker(rt, e-mag) AGD will probably not make a cheaper model because they would have to have a new design. the mag is basically an a.i.r. or retro valve with a tube and trigger. very simple. they cannot do anything to make it cheaper without sacrificing the durability of the design.

                  they can make the bodies out of aluminum, that'll make it cheaper for sure.

                    like i said, AGD could make it cheaper (aluminum), vut it would not be as strong as SS, thus sacrificing durablility.

                      Actually alumium isnt nessarly cheaper.

                      The Classic are about as cheap as they are going to get unless something else gives price wise on the construstion.

                      And I consider Used Automags Entry level guns :)

                      I move alot of people up from the higher end Piranha's into Used mags.

                      I mean a 3k 114ci N2 system a Hopper Right Classic Power feed with a good barrel and 2x trigger ( hacked frame ) and 12v Revy for $500 ish
