AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Is there any way to use old Mag barrels on new modular bodies???

I HOPE SO, I DONT WANT TO SELL MEH'BABIES!
lookin fer IR3 or Xtreme (C&C)
black RT Mag for sale. Great condition. Stock barrel, sanded bolt, I-frame, blade trigger. Extra parts, bolt spring, internals o-rings, extra hardline, nubbins, hardline. it doesnt break balls except on ppl. asking $450.
AGD created the modular body because they have received quite a bit of negative feedback concerning the twist lock barrel. To make the new body accept the old barrels defeats the purpose of the mod. You can't have it both ways, twist lock, or cocker threads.

most people hate the nubbin, others think that 10 bucks more for the automag barrel is not worth it- i dunno, i personally like the twst lock barrels a lot
...But the MAIN reason the new modular bodies take 'cocker barrels is because that's how the "modular" component (the feed tube section) is held in place. 'Cocker barrel threads are used because they are common. Personally, I like Indian Creek barrels because the barrel unscrews with only 1 1/4 turns. Much quicker.
In response to sbikeclix's reply, I have seen local stores, and some websites that do not charge the usual extra 10 bucks for automag and model 98 barrels.
I'd rather have cocker threads because in speedball, if you ever do break a ball, which is very unlikely, a straight shot is quicker to use and works pretty well. So it's useless to have the 1/4 twist and pay the extra $10. Then the barrels get stuck sometimes and are a pain to get out.
I use a straight shot with my mag barrel to. But if you NEED to take the barrel off, it takes like two seconds to yank it out! Also you wont get the threads to mess up on a mag barrel(last tourney I was at a dude had his Shocker barrel meld with the Shocker and it took forever to get it out...I dont know what happened to the gun!).
Flamebo - Does someone out there actually have a trade-in/exchange policy for Mag Twist to Mag Threaded (okay, cocker) barrels? If you've got the hook-up, let us know! Thanks, man - MENACE
Searching, looking, hoping to find a Desert Duck. Can anyone help?
