    I am fairly ignorant on the options available and I may be wrong entirely but I think I read somewhere that AGD was going to use an Inception Designs Angel threaded Empire style feedneck.

      Glad to see some new ideas from AGD !

      But dont get me started on the Empire feednecks, they are gigantic and flat out ugly, although they do have the lever clamp, and thats a good thing.

      The whole threaded part being a separate part from the feedneck is in the opposite direction of innovation.

      It was the first thing that got changed on my Axes, but thats just one guys opinion.

        Lol... Its a stronger design, allows for more options(if available), more readily available, and they do it just to get you angry cause its not a nano feedneck which you loved so much.

        I see it much like the T-slot for ASAs. Innovation is always looked upon as "why the need to change it", but in this instance, having a stub on the body without a threaded bung is the best, but having a small threaded collar is secondly, IF they do have features that the manority want.

        Allen, if you feel so strongly, fund a nano-esque feedneck for your own needs and those that prefer them. put your money where your mouth is. I like the Empire feedneck. I also suspect i will like the Inception Designs feedneck when it is made(the same designer did the Empire one).

        I can neither confirm nor deny any talks of AGD & Inception Designs, but prior relationships with Simon, TK, & AGD are there so it is not out of the possibilities.

        As for the guns, i like them. Not in the market for one, but the idea that AGD is doing pre-built anno'd guns is a nice move to gain potential capital for a possible new or even updated product.

            doesn't solve the thread issue.

              Allen like any OCD person needs to say something about the feedneck once a day.

              Back to the thread. They look great, definetly a step out from your basic black. They have a sense of style and playability(the locking feedneck is the key). As much as you want an ASA with them having an ASA, it would be a 2nd outsiurced part and though a PE POPS is liked by all, that would increase the price dramatically.

                i would actually avoid the pops since some people will likely want to run the shp.

                    I was told they are probably going to use CP feednecks...with Ion threads...which is understood to be the same as angel threads

                      Just did a quick search, seems the threads aren't quite the same (between Ions and Angel threads), if one or the other is worn enough it'd fit it seems, I haven't tried it myself.

                      Would be nice if threading were standardized to some extent, at least with this kind of stuff

                      Is it getting that hard to find reliable stockpiles of angel threaded feednecks? Doesn't CCM still have a good amount on stock? Not to mention Luke's new feednecks.

                        I dont think CCM makes angel threaded feednecks anymore.

                          I also mentioned to Tim that I think he should be posting it all on THIS Site. We paid alot of money to keep this site up and alot of us dont do Facebook because it sucks!

                            The official CCM Paintball online store! Paintball gear directly from the manufacturer. USA MADE.


                            They're still in stock it seems, not sure how many and if they're still in production though.

                            And ANS has a number of Custom Products ones, though not sure on the quality.

                              This would be a disaster. They don't have enough threads to hang on. I have several ion threaded feednecks that work great, but I had two brand new CP ones that came right off on the same day.
                              I even asked about it 3 years ago and everyone said they were junk. http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...-CP-feed-necks

                                Ah, so the ANS CP feednecks aren't really "Angel Threaded" despite the labelling
