X-MAG Back from A+ Anodizing !!!! Blood chaos x-mag !

[ShotOnSight]

Alright some of you may remember from a while ago about x-mag dissasembly. Well I did send it to A+ and heres the moment of truth for you to ponder upon. Im having issues with the board though, always says "low batt" no matter how long I charge so my board, battery or charger may be fried.

It started its life as a simple and beuitful 03 pewter C&C X-mag, pretty but a bit plain. I will now give you the before and after.

BEFORE:

congrats man. great anno. Very unique. I opened this and just saw a plain pewter anno and was like wtf, has someone lost their mind to pay for such a plain anno? glad you like

ps: i found that true daylight outdoor shots bring out the best color shots on guns

[ShotOnSight]

lol, thanks. I did the before and after type post and put the pewter one first because I knew people would flip over scrolling down and imediatly seeing just a plain pewter x-mag, then when you scroll down further it just adds the the surprise.

I really have to give it to A+ they did an outstanding job and are probably the best company ive ever worked with aside from AGD

[fire1811]

looks great
any chance on some better pics? :)

[ShotOnSight]

Sure, as soon as I find some more batteries, this camera eats them like popcorn

[StygShore]

Nice gun, great color scheme, mine is off at PrecicionPB getting same colors in a different configuration. I like that heavy dark red on there, looks nice witht he black in a gloss.

[Cow hunter]

oooh nice looking gropu of guns you got there

[SureLockRTPro]

how much did that cost you

[Arstron]

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Did they reanno the valve also or is that just a reflection?

[A-Tach-One]

Wow, lovin the anno man. :D We would love to see some pics that were a little more clear. Congrats!!! :cheers:

[craltal]

Sure, as soon as I find some more batteries, this camera eats them like popcorn


one word for you, "lithium"

my camera eats alkalines faster than... well you getthe idea. If you are paying for the batteries yourself, lithiums will last considerably longer and if you do a cost analysis they come out on top.

BTW, really nice gun.

[zackzel]

That is truly beautiful man, I always loved the darker red colors on X-mags.

[SummaryJudgement]

Nice!!! Around what did that run you if you don't mind me asking??? :D

[Jaan]

Sure, as soon as I find some more batteries, this camera eats them like popcornRechargeable nickel metal hydride. That's what you need :)

Funny ... over at M Carter Brown someone asked what anno they should do to their gun, and I suggested dripping blood. Man I love this anno. You need better pictures. The gun reminds me of a "Blood Mage" which is a magic user who gets power from the blood of his victims.

[dahoeb]

BEAUTIFUL XMAG. thats a fabulous anno job, much nicer than the original.

[paintballfiend]

Is that an NME L.E in the background in the last pic?

[stop whining buy a mag]

The pewter was better.

[ttink]

DUDE. That is amazing looking. I dig it, it's beautiful.

[ShotOnSight]

Thanks for all the compliments guys, A+ really outdid themselves here

The anno was 150 plus 14.00 return shipping so 164.00 all together.

And yes that is in fact a system x nme l.e in the same pic as an x-mag :tard:

gota love diversity :cheers: Im uploading new pics now

[ShotOnSight]

New Pics Up !

[wanna-b-ballin']

could you please paypal me 20 bucks? i need some new pants.

[REDRT]

First off I find it to be very stylish. :headbang: Is that what you had in mind when A+ did it for you? If so props to you and them. :cheers:

[11 Bravo]

That is my favorite anno so far. It helps that red is my favorite color. Great job, it looks great.


Your board problem may actually be your noid. I had the same exact problem on a new Emag and sent it in for a new board only for them to find that it needed a noid.

[nevets11_2003]

W.O.W. :wow:
I dont know if I like this or shark attacks more now

[CoolHand]

Nice ano. Good color choices. A+ does quality work.

On the low battery signal, try making sure the board and the battery lugs are both grounded to 100% bare silver aluminum.

Since AGD saw fit to ground the E/XMags through the frame, if you don't get good contact with the aluminum at both spots, it will do wonky things. Problem is that Aluminum oxidizes so damned fast, plus in this case you had it reanodized, which likely means they didn't file or scratch off the ano at the contact points when they put it back together.

Just about every really weird E/XMag problem I've run across (electronics wise anyway) has been due to bad/insufficient/no grounding through the frame.

Nice thing is, that just a few strokes of a file can fix the issue.

I'd sure try that before I spent much money. :ninja:

[FromTheBack]

Amazing anno man. Props to A+ on this.
What description did you tell them when you sent the gun off? This might just be the next anno I get...

[Chaos_Theory!]

Looks ok.

[ShotOnSight]

Coolhand- well it was having this same problem before I got it re-anodized so I dont think grounding is the problem but ill check on it nonetheless.

[shaunyoung000]

oh my..... :cry:

[Recon by Fire]

Show off! :hail:


I think mine needs the same treatment in black/blue.


:cheers:

[ShotOnSight]

Thanks !

blue and black acid on an x-mag would look pretty tight ill admit i would love to see somone do that (hint hint)

[chill will]

Great anno job!!

[OmniM]

Kick butt anno! :D ... me like very muchos :D

[PsychoBaller]

Dizzzammmnnn..... that thing is Hot!




Reminds me my SFL still needs a re-anno.... after massive amt of yrs going unfinished.

::: digs out tuna's # ::: ;)

[ShotOnSight]

A+ FTW :clap:

[Ratt]

[Chaos_Theory!]

[Recon by Fire]

Pics of mine to come in October! :cheers: Similar acid wash scheme but in black/blue.

Okay, Ao...what do you think about a laser engraving of the AGD logo or the "Level 10 inside" emblem on the battery pack? I have the uncut battery pack btw. Or AGD logo on battery pack and Level X emblem on the body?

[RavishingEddie]

Yeah I have the AGD Logo on my battery pack and it looks nice.

[ShotOnSight]

I would love that, I just ordered some LVL 10 inside stockers from Arstron that got shipped out today, cant wait. They have red lettering to put on the halo and one on the valve :D
