i think its an in group/out group social phenomena, as i've been told in this thread that i should have died in a terrorist attack, and that is considered ok, but the suggestion that AGD is a garage shop company is a bannable offense.

just depends on who says these things, not what is being said.

I've told you many times prior - it's HOW you say things that's as important as WHAT you say.

right, its unlikely that much investment at AGD was in machines to actually make parts. the early guns used SS, which was ground, the body was brazed/soldered, and the frame was glass/plastic molded. so until the jump to ULE stuff relatively late in the game for AGD, most of that stuff would not have been made in house. and even once they did go aluminium, its unlikely that AGD owned machines and equipment made the actual parts. it just wouldn't be economical. the Xmag bodies i do believe were made in house on the machine in simons AGD europe video.

which is why it was probably so easy to transition into garage shop model. you don't have a bunch of liability and capital tied up in machines and facilities. so easy to basically downsize the operation with the taper in demand for guns and parts. if you need more of something, small batches, to keep the parts inventory up and available. make the odd gun order out of those parts etc etc.

My understanding was that the Xmag was an AGD Europe thing and that Tom just bought them from across the pond - no $ into it other than what he paid.

That sounds kinda like all the xmt and Luke deals of recent years.

so what about this post was warranting of being told i should have died in a terrorist attack?

AGD is officially still a company, though it exists in a few boxes of parts in Romans (?) garage now.

no seriously, tell me exactly why i was threatened with being banned for that post and viciously attacked by many members including big evil telling me i should be DEAD at the hands of terrorists, and no one thinks that is strange, punishable, and/or simply makes him a pretty awful person. or that nobody follows me around everywhere and flames me everywhere he possibly can.

and im the bad guy whos always causing trouble on AO? bull****.

nothing i said was factually wrong, nothing i said was rude, insulting, or an attack on anyone or anything. but im the *******.

I should have bought you a plane ticket to Paris...

Actually, EVERYTHING you said is wrong. Listen closely young man and learn not to insult someones business model or their intelligence.
1-AGD is actually AGD USA INC.
2-Roman is a former employee of AGD and has NOTHING to do with AGD USA. The owner's name is DAVE not Roman.
3-It is not run out of boxes. The shop is immaculate. Dave is the second smartest man I have ever met. You know who the first one is and it is not you. You honestly have no idea.
4-It is not run out of a garage. They do not have a retail shop so you can't go visit unless you are special...same way as I run my business.
5-They have plenty of new parts and more being made all the time.
6-They still make guns. They still sell guns. They still make parts. They still sell parts.

Is there anything else you need to know or be corrected on?

Its confusing because Dave is the one running the place, but the email on the web page says roman@agd. Anyways Dave did respond pretty quickly

xvalves -Only black.

I have a couple Purple ULE bodies left.

Which is good because I like purple, he quoted a price for a complete marker as well. Hopefully I can order one next month.

If your willing to wait. Depending how long till he needed more valves. You could prob pay a fee for getting a purple valve. Wouldn't be cheap. But depends how interested you are.

hell id throw money in for a blue, purple, and a new released green X valve.

[boo]

Well, some reputable member here want to contact [email protected] (actually Dave even though it says Roman) and set up a group buy for a skittles bag of x valves? Or at least see what the buyin would need to be?

[blackdeath1k]

I've looked in to all kinds of one off color parts in the past. It's almost always been 100 bucks on top of single unit ano cost. And then the wait for the next product run to have a bare part to begin with. Almost anyone with a small business runs on the concept of money talks.
