You were also looking for X-Mag valve #317 right? Mind if I ask why the number has so much significance to you?

Hey, I just found out I have Viking #666, so if anyone has a line to Lucifer, can you let him know?

also, he has said that AGD has offered him many things for it like Xmags, Rt Pro, just to trade that classic valve for a retro but he keeps rejecting it. he said hed trade it for "1000000 dollars" lol.

Xmag for a valve... is he insane? Is AGD trying to get it out of the cycle or something?

Yeah, I'm going to have to call "BS" on that one. What would they do with the valve, make a shrine or something? I'm sure there are plenty of ancient AIR valves sitting around in closets gathering dust to satisfy any requirements AGD has. Unless that number holds some special significance for them. In which case you would have to wonder why someone WOULDN'T trade an obsolete valve for a cutting-edge $1400 gun.

if they really wanted to they could make another classic valve and stamp 00001 on it

LOL!! We dont trade old valves for xmags but we have traded old guns for classics. Most so we dont have to fix them. I do have a bunch of early serial numbers that came in through the years.

That is an old number though. For sure its in the first 6 months of 1990 when we started. The oldest valves started at 100 and 110-200 went to minneapolis. If your going to look for collectible guns go there.

kinda off topic....but

one one og my classic mags, i have a valve that says Automag Advanced

and on the other one it says Automag Classic

they are both classic valves, but why'd they change the little signature thingy??


oh and the one that says advanced is older (i think)

While we're talking about old guns, and maybe if we still have AGD's attention

What kinda production runs are we looking at for the old RT's?

Did AGD make 5000, 8000, a billion?

Im interested in knowing, unless thats proprietary information.
