You realize that it's quite a bit more complex to mill the karta instead of the mag tube body right?

You know what the difference is between an Emag and Xmag? A $600 body.

And have you ever sent anything to be anodized before? If not, then the $50 is a good price, especially for one-off runs.

It says right on the page "Kit Includeds Dual Detents, Rail Bushing, Mainbody Washer & Clip." So you do get detents. Basically add the feedneck of your choice to your mag parts and have at it.

I liked it so much I bought Karta #28 and had it milled for ACE too. :D

Karta #17 here. It comes down to whether or not you want to spend the extra money for your marker to look that much more awesome. It's kinda like putting a sweet sound system in your hot rod. It doesn't make it go any faster or handle better, but It just makes it that much cooler.

I actually think the price is reasonable, I'm just waiting for the warp version... and who knows when that will come out... the Warp Slug body has to come first.

when the hAir hits the market I might just cave and get a vert feed...

whitewolf doesnt charge that for a karta body, thats the price breakdown if you buy a ULE RT with a Karta Body. It breaks down to being $200. trust me, I already asked him to sell me a karta for $200, its not the way it works.

maricle grow should do the trick. But anywho that is still a good price on the karta if you plan on getting the rt custom, hopefully will be able to buy mine in a couple of months, and even for 25 bucks you can't hardly beat the price.

AGD and my prices are the same for what you get... only differnce would be I include shipping.
They have stock, so they can ship instantly, where as I usually take a good week or two to get them out.. so its its a trade-off..

My anodizing is $25, AGD's is $50, but theirs will prolly match the AGD red and blue, etc perfectly...
My anodzing also takes at least a week extra...

so there ya have it.. more options! :)

I've always wanted to have a Karta but kind of reversed so that the barrel is coming out of the end that wraps around the Valve. Basically it would just be turned around. *shrugs*

I think that would look pretty awesome, personally.

Nicads bodies are worth every penny of it. And I might add you will not find a more polished smooth body to work with either. Absolutely baby butt smooth
