So where did all the Zgrips go?

[pinkanese]

I am kind of curious as to how many frames there are floating around the forums now. There were 400 I am just wondering how many ares till around. I know the exact location of 4 so that makes for 1% :p They come up for sale every so often but I have a feeling that is just the same frame going around and around.

[bigbthebenji]

well, i just sold one to motrodom

[Ratt]

You can add mine to your count. (+1)

[wetwrks]

there are a few for sale in the misc section right now.

[DevilMan]

I sold mine off a bit back... will look and see who has it. I think we should put a little piece of paper/tape on the inside of each one of them and number them. :D Like tracking wildlife and see how many we can come up with so we'll know it's not the same one over and over.

Just a small 1cm piece of paper/masking tape on the inside back of the frame would suffice.

:D So who's in for the Z Grip BagNTag?

DM

[pinkanese]

See I would love that plan. But I doubt I will ever sell one, so its hard to say how useful it would be.

Now to track down all the splash anno'ed ones. :)

eh??? Not at all... this would allow you to get a better count... not just track... So you have 4 of them... you have yours labeled 001, 002, 003, 004

Ratt can have 005
Rudy would be 006

Then you just set up a little Excel spreadsheet and type in the numbers in column A and the name of the owner in column B as they report in, they get assigned the next number in line. It would work best if the number was printed and not hand written though. But that's easily done by just getting a bill or a some piece of mail and finding the number that you have somewhere on it and cutting it out and taping it to the inside. then as people report in that they have one you can assign them a number as to the next one in the list. If the Z grip moves and someone says they have one and open it up and see 005 then they know it's already been tagged and you can update the database.

[DevilMan]

Grelvire could be 007 and if/when it changes the new owner to post up and the list updated.

[magtard13]

ya know, if someone made some new ones, they would sell like hot cakes. i want one for a new mag project. a lot of people want em.

[my automag]

I got one too... It's awesome, to me.

[pinkanese]

Since when are there powerfeed left classic R/T's???


ya know, if someone made some new ones, they would sell like hot cakes. i want one for a new mag project. a lot of people want em.

Thsi isn't exactly true. AGD had a hard time getting rid of them when they came out. They are still little more than a novelty piece. I have seen them sit for sale for months on end as well. making a new frame all depends on the price point. $120-150 and they would sell well, but you would have to make a lot of frames to make it worthwhile at that price.

[cockerpunk]

ya know, if someone made some new ones, they would sell like hot cakes. i want one for a new mag project. a lot of people want em.

nope. besides a novelty part, these are all but worthless.

[OPBN]

[Newt]

Good point, cp. Those automag things too, those things are so outdated, they can't keep up with the new Spyders. The only reason people still use them is because they got good at attaching them to their walkers and don't want to change. That's what I read on PBN, anyway.
:rofl:

I've got one...

Edit: I thought Y grips were still available through AGD?

[maniacmechanic]

[211]

put me on the list
Ive got a RT Zgrip

but no pictures of it :(

[pinkanese]

So we are up to like 3% of Zgrips accounted for :P

I am wondering if I should start recording style too or not...

[SkinnyHare]

I have a winged one in my parts box and one sitting on a classic RT. On the rare occasion that I get to play, that one gets to see the field for at least a few games.

[DevilMan]

Or machine a serial number on the bottom of the grip.


ummmm... yeah but that would mean that everyone would have to send it in... and then pay you to do it.. :D Unless you are offering a free service? A little piece of tape/paper stuck on the inside is a few pennies cheaper...

i wouldnt be surprised. I bought mine from skeeter down in charleston several years ago. they could very well still be available.

[bpreister]

Just sold mine to magman79 on mcarterbrown. I know loguzzzzzz will probably kill me when he see's this, and I know he has at least one maybe more.

I really wanted to buy that from you, but couldn't justify the price. Who did the pneu mod on it?

Loguzzzzzz did, and he does top notch work. His attention to detail is unbelievable. The brass fittings on the bottom by the LPR started out as this:

Well you picked up two real quick :p

Love your Longbow setup by the way, looks damn comfy.

[Dryden]

Two toughest decisions I ever made were selling my Z and selling my Pump Mag w/ 6-Pak. Even though I haven't played paintball in the three or four years since selling them, I just loved holding them in my hands. :cry:

[icp-ms]

I have one, too

Here's mine wingless.

[Olsson]

I've got one in mint condition. Can't remember if it is with wings or not, though. I won't be back home for quite some time, but I'll update with photo and info once I get a chance.

Out of curiosity, how many were made with wings? Wingless? For RT Classic? Or have those on RT Classics been drilled out from stock ones? Were there any made with factory splash anno? Or any color than black?

[warpfeedmod]

Scratch two off the list, they both died in a garage fire along with some stock carbon frames from classics, as well as a few masks/hoppers. Oddly enough the only thing to survive the fire was a classic SS body...even the motorcycle melted :(

[cougar20th]

This is my zgrip. Bought it New. Mounted it & only fired 100 or so shots thru that gun. Right now the grip is sitting in a box because the gun is apart.

Why man??? :confused:

[pinkanese]

I need money, and the newest one was a bit impulsive in nature. To get it the way i really want it would involve lots more work and money. Its just not really justifiable when I already have two Zmag setups I love. I might end up keeping the grip and building something else around it later one, will likely get mounted onto something not made by AGD.

[master_alexander]

This is my first post on this forum since.. ..a long time.

I have one Z-grip, and my friend (not on AO) has one as well. You can add that to your list!!

[sQuidvision]

My Z-Grip has been sold to ThickChestHair on a5og... not sure if he runs on this forum or not. It was a winged classic z that i shaved. It had also been mauled at some point in its life... looks like someone ran an air line through the grip and out the back and possibly did the milling while drinking.

[splatterbrain]

I have one sitting in my closet. Never actually been on a marker.Projects that go by the wayside.

Here's a random one for sale:
