APG Magazine Xmag Fail

[bojangles1983]

If you are an APG magazine subscriber then check out Pg. 24 of the new May 2010 edition. Theres a nice looking Xmag there! One little problem though, the editor decided to call it an Invert Mini... now I have both an xmag and a mini, and they Barely look anything alike to me. Guess the editor is a "new guy"

I want to see a pic or scan or something. It will be funnier with visuals.

I noticed that right off as well. You never see an X-mag in a magazine......It was nice for a change.
The "new guy" was Marc Gottfried IIRC. He ain't no new guy.
Just a little error.

Doesn't he play for Total Grief? They're pretty OG

And, he [Gottfried] runs a brewery, if I'm not mistaken...

Just bought the magazine tonight. It looks like a SFL Emag, not an X-Mag. In fact, it looks just like this one:
Correia3's Gloss Red

It looked like a sfl to me too, but with the Emag valve. Sexy sexy....

SFLs are xmags.

an SFL E-mag is just that, an E-mag that has been "SFL" milled by shocktech. Yes they had Aces, but they were wire loom aces.

Xmags, short for Xtreme Emag, as in "Xtreme CnC" Emag, which denotes the classic CNC machining on the body that we all know and love on the common xmag.

So they really arent the same.

I always equated Xmags as having removable breech's and eyes. Never been lucky enough to see a SFL but they always looked like they met this criteria and I just threw em in the x-mag category.

It is the same as an xmag, the difference between an xmag and an emag is the body and rail being one piece and a removeable breech. That being such, i have seen SFL mags many a time lumped into the xmag category as a result, even on the official xmag owner page or whatever they had a while back. An SFL mag is much different than just different miling on an emag, it's more different milling on an xmag.

SFL's are Xmags with different milling. No comparison to regular Emags.

You're wrong..

[Temo Vryce]

I'll argue based on the belief that SFL mags had an Emag valve, while the X-mags had the newer aluminum X-Valves. If that's wrong, I'm sorry.

As for the Photo it is a SFL mag with the Highrise Centerfeed, Datapimp drop, AO Barrel Condom and possibly something else AO related that I can't think of right now. I want to know why the AO member in the picture hasn't spoken up to say, "HEY!! That's me."
