View Full Version : Tracking down a unique emag

I've been planning on doing this for some time, when I have the money to make an offer on it, but I get the feeling that the longer I wait the more likely my gun will be gone forever. As a few of the older members may remember, I used to own a pretty unique emag for its time, I was wondering if anyones got any sources on who's hands it is in now. As far as my searching ability has gone, I have found that the person I sold it to was selling it as well and after that the trail goes cold, I haven't seen any new pictures of it since I owned it.

Anyway on to the pics that I have:

Dont fret much. We can build you a new one just like that or better. That one doesn't even have a ULE gripframe. ;)

Yup. That is one in the same I'd say but with a different asa, barrel and feedneck.
Even the grips are the same! Hopefully it is still around for the guy who built it long ago :clap:

Tuna you kill me sometimes, actually if I remember correctly you were the first one to touch this one when I finally completed the project because I shipped it out to you to take it apart and remove the clip and everything. I may have to go that route depending on how this turns out, I really love this gun, and I don't know if another emag could do it justice.

Thanks for the good eye Dend, my guess is that the guy who posted it isn't the one who owns it but I shall investigate a bit more! (seeing that feedneck on there is boiling my blood a little bit, hope they didn't junk the original ones)

If I'm not mistaken, the pic in Nearchos's thread is from KC's photobucket account. Perhaps KC might have some insight?

Dave, after I first met you this fall, I had briefly tried to look for this mag too but the trail ended quickly.

Hopefully it turns up soon (and mostly unaltered.. looks like the detent was swapped out too)
Good Luck!

Nice marker, I hate the loader bracket though. A custom one would be totaly doable (If enough people ran a confiuration like that. ;) )
Was this setup for a left handed person?

Haha were you looking to scoop it up for yourself? Its hard to find it seemed like it fell off the earth which I was very afraid of, I'm happy just knowing its still around. It's crazy how attached I am to the thing, I still remember the damn serial number 5 years later (EM000308, in case anyone was wondering).

Anyway, is anyone here in contact with any of those people/do they post regularly? I'm not nearly as familiar with names on here as I was in the past (besides Tuna and Twilight) is KC's screen name literally KC?

Ahh yes the ghetto mount, drilled a hole through the warp mount and screwed in an ASA so I had a stable platform for the qloader, only way I could get it set up like that, and actually I'm right handed. Worked great for me, made it very easy to remove the pods with my left hand and pop a new one in quick without any flexing. If I end up getting my hands on this again, I'm gunna run a warp on it instead and probably pick up your parallel bracket, I've heard q-loaders are garbage now, I don't know if thats just people ragging on it or if theres an actual difference, I liked the one I had, that emag could outshoot a halo and the low weight and profile was awesome, nobody could hit me :)

Nah, I was actually trying to find it for you ;)

And yes, "KC" is the screen name... formerly known as KCsRTULE (or something like that) Also known as the battery man since he makes the infamous KC 1000mah E-Mag batteries
He frequently has sale threads here so he's not hard to find, just really busy so sometimes slow to respond to PM's.

A lot of horse trading goes on here in Cali. Some markers never even make the bst's...

Right now that marker has found its way into the black hole of automags...

I knew that the original owner was looking for it, I had no idea there was a thread about it.

Either way, the guy knows who has it now and that is what he was looking to find out.

For some reason I thought Lasrskatr had it so I PM'ed him, I'll shoot you a PM now!

I did own it for a few long months (maybe even close to a year)

I never responded to your PM i am sorry... but i did forward it on to the new owner.

That mag was beyond one of the fastest I have laid my hands on :clap: and i can say I have hand quite a few mags over the last three years...

I have now pretty much stepped away from being a mag whore and onto CCM pumps(but i have a fun yframe mag still in my possesion)


Hopefully you can convince John(loguzzz) to sell the marker back..

Thanks for forwarding it! You don't have to apologize, I am just happy to see where its been. And you are right that E-Mag is the most reactive mag that I have ever shot, I used to outshoot my halo B regularly which is why I ended up picking up that Q Loader! The trigger on the E-Mode is still to this day the nicest trigger I've ever shot, I'm glad noone put a blade or something like that on it, I love the stock emag trigger.

Hopefully, between the interview I am going to on thursday and my tax returns coming soon, I'll be able to buy back my baby again! I just wish I didn't have to spend $400 bucks on a new laptop a few days ago!
