AO'ers help revive AGD

[custar]

Steve, what are the chances of AGD making it down to OK D-Day in June of '08? There are likely to be 10,000 + attendees. That includes vendors, families, etc., but it is still a lot of PB people at the same place at the same time. There are a lot of players there who don't know squat about AGD but are willing to buy markers for good deals. PM or e-mail me if I can help out with details. Just thinking as I type, June '08 would be far enough off to have AK47 and M4-like markers ready to go, at least non-electro versions. I realize OK D-Day's WWII theme isn't perfect for AK47 and M4 models, but it does have a lot of media exposure (relatively speaking for a PB event). I know a relatively inexpensive way to get one on the stage for the awards ceremony, and I have some ideas on how to make sure they are seen in other venues.

I suppose the first thing we'd need to do is PM AGD and company and get their permission. It would be cool if we had a couple of guns in an unopened box so people can see the packaging, and then have a huge array of all the customizations that are commercially availalbe and that AO'ers make. I'll think more about this before we hit up AGD directly

[nathanjones008]

Yes - OLD OLD prices. Set how many years ago? Many before I started working there, and I've been here 7 years now.

We didn't raise prices for a long time - but all our suppliers DID. And *when* we replenish inventory (we do), we have to pay the higher prices. Figure the math.

thanks for the clarification!

[nathanjones008]

Is it possible to get a new supplier that will cost a lil less $$?

[AGD-OfficeGal]

Whups - I think I've only worked for AGD for six years, not seven. Not that it makes a difference.

When Marcia speaks, you all better listen

I wonder if we could do an Automags Online booth at OKDDAY, even if not a AGD booth proper.. still provide the same products (with pnuemags, epmags, etc?), same services...

I'd be up for helping out.

No. If a more inexpensive supplier could be found, it would be.

Welcome to 2007, and 2007 Made in the USA prices.

Made in the USA.

Ahh but it could be but then it wouldnt say "Made In The USA". AGD is on the the short list there eh.

[Ninjeff]

It would be cool if we had something that logged all the crazy customized examples of mags. I may start compiling a list.........

Sorry, I didn't mean ROF but to lighen up the internals a bit to move a tad faster so you can bring down the input pressure and get better gas consumption. Less weight takes less air to move.

Are you serious? The Lvl. 10 bolt only weighs 1oz. AND it's Stainless Steel. You get lightweight AND durability right there.

If you want better gas milage from your Automag, use the lightest return spring and set the gun up to run off of that.
