ATTN: Tom Kaye! No more Xmags?!?!

[thei3ug]

I hate to add levity to the situation, but ahhh, didn't sosta start marketing the 8-hole mod for the non-aligned mags, that spurned a whole market of garbage knockoffs?



I like AGDE. They's pimp.

Back in the day when the holes didn't align through the reg halves doing that mod DID make a difference because you had a better chance of getting the holes to align with one of the 8.

Once AGD changed their manufacturing and made the holes align that mod did nothing but other people kept offering the mod...

[Gadget]

Yes he did - John + Marcus from the Predators designed the original 'Pro-Mag' 8 hole mod. Have still got my mag from 1993 (Promag 727) right here :)

Despite all subsequent evidence to the contrary my 'mag still seemed to work a lot better after getting that mod done :)

EDIT: Ah, so I wasn't just imagining things...thanks Manike :)

All I can say is wow. This just seems so all of a sudden.

[mcveighr]

Whats the story on the E-Tac ones?

They going with the 250 E-mags?

Well so are you eventually!

Nothing lasts forever, but maybe AGD's "death" is being reported prematurely!

AGD was going to die eventually. No smart business men is going to support the failing portion of his business with the successful part. You change or you die. Pure and simple. You can not believe it all you want but when you're searching eBay one day because you can't find parts for your mag anymore because AGD's long gone just like Line SI, Paintball Inc and AirStar.

I agree, it's just taking them longer because they do come out with good stuff every now and then...........

Oh, so you're trying to kill my little mischief mood, eh? :) We'll see about that...

What's with all the highrise powerfeeds you brits seemed to love through the 90's, eh? yah, yah, we've all heard the sight down the top excuse before. Many many many times.

Besides, are you saying that the limited span of the promag mod to a small number of mags (I remember that, BTW), outweighed the social drawbacks of sucker reg bodies being sold by Diamond labs in "rub the anno off titanium?" Too often in this sport we don't look at things in the long term... ok I'm just talking out of my rear now.

However, I must reiterate, that we would have no objections to AGD producing them in the U.S., which would eliminate this problem.

This should have been done on day 1 of the birth of the Xmag(AGD finding a place here to do it) ...........

[BTo dispell rumours, yes we have signed up with NPS, but this will not affect AGDE nor would it affect the production of X-Mag bodies if you guys still wanted them.
I think that Tom will agree that this decision is based on many factors, but the biggest is the current legal situation going on in paintball.[/b]

NPS has already signed with SP and can make electro markers, does this mean you can still make Xmags?

Brothers

I think DB and Warped must be brothers they both seem to know everything about nothing. But really you know less then you think you do and are smaller then a grain of sand in the beach of life

I guess my 14 years in paintball and my long pb work resume mean nothing? In fact, I have an interview with a big name company on monday(I'm not allowed to say who with, yet........) Not just stores, but industry jobs too, I won't argue with closed minded idiots, so have fun talking to yourself.
And gibby, those Karta bodies are hot! Maybe AGDUSA should just "buy" the design and have those made for thier XC's! That would be nice.

Ha Ha I just made a statement on how I see things. At least I can say I have NEVER resorted to name calling and if I ever do I dont think I would waste it on you

Your post is a good example of your maturity level.

In fact of all the posts of yours I have read I have yet to see any that contribute in a positive way.

Try converting your negative energy to positive energy you might have better luck on your interview.[good luck]

Sounds like you need that book by Lesko. 10000 ways to save on money from the govt, or whatever it is. The guy wearing the question mark jacket like the riddler. Then paintball will be free for TK.
