New ULE Bodies? How'd we all miss this?

[skipdogg]

Looks like Gearhead paintball is releasing new Automag bodies.

Is that an AL. cf TL body ? I feel like a trend setter sometimes

[BigEvil]

I hope that they have a really low price point.. because they don't look nearly as good as a AGD ule body. That feed neck is pretty awful.

Cant be twist lock, it has detents.

Someone bring over a pic

[Flatliner333]

Oh yeah... Didn't notice that. Not knocking new products for Mags but aren't you supposed to try and improve on an existing product?

I am taking a wait and see before bashing. If you look at the 3 bodies side by side not all feedneck look the same. And is it me but Does the feedneck look like it's sitting on the outside/top? Kind of like the spyder necks. Maybe it's removable and you can do a cram and jam, which they make adapters for other markers I believe.

I'm somewhat confused as well.

The normal AGD ULE bodies have that big block in the middle to presumably support the threading of feednecks. And detent.

I guess this thing has the feed neck welded on? If it's not welded, then it's... milled?


I kind of wish anyone designing a new body would like... do it right, from scratch... and not inherit all the legacy design flaws.

[Frizzle Fry]

Yeah, I don't get it either. Ugly ULE with weird feedneck? I don't see why anyone would have an issue putting a cram 'n jam on a ULE - there are adapters made. It looks like it has a twistlock retention pin built into the body or something - look carefully at the black one in the background of the picture, just beneath the detent, you can sort of see it on the front one too. Maybe a 3rd detent? Some kind of new twistlock barrel that nobody will make or embrace? Perhaps you modify your existing barrel to account for the detents?

All I can say is those feednecks remind me of the terrible plastic rings on the old USI Raider, which makes me wonder if there's an ugly weld hiding underneath.

Who makes cram and jam adapter for ule bodies, angel threading?

Action Markers did... Then I made a few, then I think Doc or somebody did for a while. Then there are the universal ones that mounted to the little stubs you use for warpfeeds and q-loaders.

[C_losjoker]

I'd like to have a cram and jam that can be used with ule cf or warp body and can ano too. I don't think it's welded, she mentioned things coming back from ano. Would welding give you different color results on that area?

If you look at the picture that's build marker. You can see that there is no detent on that side, round smooth.

That also was a bit of confusion. Being the literalist that I am -- she never mentioned *what* was coming back from anno. Wasn't necessarily the body. (Just like nowhere did the post mention "ULE".)

For all we know, that could be a painted steel body with anodized aluminum accents.
