I was looking into buying a used e-mag and was wondering what is the life expectancy of an e-mag? How many shots on the gun is too much? Anything I should look for when I buy a use one? And what is the going price for a used one? Any help would be great. Thanks

go until it catches fire, then send it in to AGD for a quick rebuild for free and keep going.

Basically all and e-mag is a Rt-mag with an e-frame, so u keep the same durability. So just look for a nice deal and dont worry about shots, and the counters arent accutarte cuz they count every click.

The E-Mag will be around and on the playing field without major overhaul a lot longer than any Angel, Intimidator or Impulse there is. The E-Mag is where it's at.
For your info, pay NO attention to shots on the counter, it can reset very easily. Solenoid wear and tear shouldn't be a problem, AGD gets very few bad solenoids. The only thing I would look at (if you can) is sear/bolt edge wear and deep scratches that couldn't be covered up if you got the gun re-annoed or powdercoated. Enjoy!

Unfortunately they are out of Warrantee after 90 days. However, after talking with an AGD tech it seems like they rarely have ones go bad. The only thing that does and eventually will go bad is the battery. I've never seen an everlasting battery.

if the e-mag is reliable as my old 68automag i'll be happy. I had my mag since early 90's and never had a problem with it. Now the big question is what is a good price for a used stock e-mag?

600 for a stock e-mag is good
