    the search for the space mag

    Alright, I've made some progress, but I haven't gotten far enough. Some one out there has to know where the Space Mags are. I'm not talking about pictures, I mean the actual guns themselves.
    I'm taking it upon myself to bring these guns back to the here and now. Hell, I'd even make an offer to buy the lot of them if I knew who to ask.
    So, ask any old schooler you know who has knowledge of paintball's history and help me locate these things. I will not rest until I find them.
    Thanks,
    Dan@Triggernomics

    I only think there was one and no idea who owns it. There was someone here on AO that had something very similar to a "space" mag that he built, but I can not remember who it was.

    For as long as I can remember there being spacemags, nobody has ever known where they are or who has them.

    O yea someone mentioned there only being a few made and made for personal use, i thought they where sold becasue wasnt the design suppose ti give it back spin or something..thought i read that somewhere a long time ago...maybe im invention memoires or i did read it and it was not true..

    Wow, all of this talk about space mags really brings me back! I'd love to see a repro done. Good idea!

    According to my latest info, they were made by an Englishman. I even found someone who used to own one of them, but that's where the story ends. It looks like they've disappeared into someone's private collection, and like the TLC E-Mag that was stolen from Steve Davidson, they'll never be seen again.
    What a shame. I will keep trying, but I'm slowly running out of options.

    Thanks Maggot for opening my eyes.
    I'm perfectly capable of copying those designs myself one way or another, but this isn't about recreating them. It's not about owning them either.
    Their existence is a marvel in itself. The guy who made these is a true artist. We have too many people in this sport who take an effort like this for granted.
    That's not taking anything away from Doc either, his website is full of original ideas and creations, but he still gets about as much recognition for it as AGD does for creating High Pressure cylinders.
    Personally, I think that the space mags are some of the most beautiful looking paintball guns ever made. If you had the chance to see a group of photos that cover them from all angles, would you pass it up?
    If I can find them, or the name of the man that made them, I'd be preserving part of the history of our sport.
    That's really all I'm after.

    If I knew where those guns were I would have bought them myself. I would sugest contacting John Sosta he would be the only one I could think of that might have a line on them. I have never talked to anyone that has seen them in person.

    Lookin' good Doc!

    Yes.

    He sold a couple on Ebay that were completed.

    I have one of them. I also managed to find a sluggo from back2integrity. Now I need a custom rail from RRFireblade and my sluggo milled, then I will have a "new" spacemag

    There were two auctions on ebay, one sold and the other never met the reserve. I emailed Doc awhile ago to see if he still had it but never got a response back.

    Also SummaryJudgement, cant wait to see pictures of that
