xmag

Hey, just to clear this up for me (i've looked and haven't found an exact answer) why was the x-mag discontinued? I heard it was around the time SP started that whole lawsuit thing or whatever, so was that it, because i don't see why that would make agd stop producing the x-mag and not the emag.

It simply wasn't cost effective for them to do so. The bodies in particular were expensive and not terribly easy to get as they were manufactured by AGD-E. It would have been easier if AGD could have produced them stateside but AGD-E held the rights for the bodies I believe so this wasn't possible without paying a licencing fee to do so. I'm sure the threat of an SP lawsuit also didn't make things easier, although it wasn't the main reason.

Oh, ok, that makes sense. I was going to say if it was the sp thing why are they still making emags. Thanks for clearing that up.
