Empire Resurrection Opinions

[Rosenberg]

So, I now own the Resurrection. My opinion of it....Yup, it is bad ace.
Snappy and smooth trigger.
love all the small, but important, extras (feedneck, on/off asa, etc.).
was shooting great right out of the box.
barrel kit is fine. for all those complaining about bore sizes...find me another marker at this price that comes with a kit like this.
top end parts were used to put this together.
the milling looks great in person.
I could go on forever with the plus sides of this marker

Thanks again for bringing back some old school. Now, someone needs to bring back an updated automag.
I think Simon and TK should get on that. I mean, between the two of them...it should only take an afternoon to fully design it.

you do realize that the mini/axe is a direct extension of the mag. Simon asked to use the blow forward system from TK and updated it and what we have now is that direct descendent of that work.

thats not really true, the mini/axe is a JCS king cobra, a design that came out of the far east. the only thing it really shares in function with an automag is the blow forward bit.

if you really want to see a "modern" mag look no farther then then the ICD freestyle:

Not sure where you got that, but it's not true. As Gordon points out the Mini was a development from the King Cobra.

Very glad more and more people are getting the Resurrection and enjoying it.

I've read that the Tippmann Phenom was based on the AGD system with permission. Maybe that's the confusion? That could be BS as well though.

I asked Tom about that specifically at Tunaball and he said it wasn't true.

as much as i want to just say i "heard it from 'Them'", it stemmed from talking to a couple of people about an MQ Mag and they had said a Mini/Axe was just about that. so when the man comes and says it so, to people the rumors down, we are all the wiser fot it.

What about Tiberius? Is that rumor true?

I love having Simon around to clear these things up!

the early FS series yes, but the later bolt systems, like the HR1 and the FS8 slider bolt, where different enough to not be that.

now, i had missed the King Cobra. now we are all better for it.

Not sure which rumour you mean? I do not know for certain but I believe it was designed with the intent that it wouldn't infringe the AGD patents.

Brings back memories. That gun shot great, but the packaging and styling is... well... not sure what to say , but you can see how different it ended up when the concept became the Mini and then the Axe.

Ultimately most of us are building on the shoulders of giants. That's always the development process. Just some of us keep trying to innovate and add to the pool. Although with that said it is nice to do a retro project every now and then like the Resurrection (even so we tried to innovate in some areas and make it the best we could).

Currently I have some more retro and some more innovative projects in the works. Not sure what will drop first

Can this use the eblade trigger frames?

I believe Docfire at Customcockers put one on his Ressurection... though I'd have to go search.
