    AGD Stable?

    With the recent decline of other paintball manufacturers, Any need to worry that AGD is going anywhere? I sure hope not!! Thoughts and Comments?

    Rumor has it Tom Kaye (Owner of AGD) is going to retire from paintball, not sure where it goes from there.

      AGD has been kind of just selling off stock and maintenance parts for a while now. Unless things have changed since the early 2000's though, paintball seemed to be far from the only thing sustaining the company. They may not wind up offering any new markers soon as you can only get the Tac-One right now, but I feel like they'll be supporting their products for quite a while. Like i said though, if their situation has changed drastically, this may not be the case.

        AGD was doomed from the start because Tom made guns that never need to be replaced

        But hopefully they stick around for a long time

          At Tunaball last year he said he had been going to all the airgun shows selling the Shoebox.

          He also said he is working on a semi auto airgun.

          Airguns have been flying under the radar of the ATF.

          I'm in for buying a Shoebox and a semi auto airgun when he makes one.

            Unless something happened recently, you can still buy ULE RT Customs as well..

                they still pick up the phone when you call and have great customer service. I'd say that's a good sign.

                    I was told directly from AGD, They still manufacture parts and are still in business. They told me they weren't going anywhere. So I take that as a good sign lol I just wish they would get out and start attending events again.

                      It didn't load anything when I clicked on it. Assumed that meant it wasn't available. I just checked back and found I was fortunately wrong.

                            TigerTime: Welcome to AO! AGD is still alive and well. It may be smaller than it was many years ago, but there are still many die-hard mag lovers out there to keep it around. Sure, AGD might not be creating anything new, but on AO you will quickly realize that we have some talented machinists/programmers out there still creating mag parts for community.
