    I like the shape of the body. The carving might be a little deep and thick. I always like the scroll-work on older guns (firearms). Its very classy, but not over-stated.

    Also make it so it can use this, or something like it:

      Why not use the same extrsuion as the extreme and not mill it for modules? Wouldn't be hard to find someone to make the extrusion in the US, instead of importing it from europe. I like the looks of your idea Tom and wouldn't mind seeing it go into production.
      Who would i have to kill to get a rough cad blank to play around with? If not could i get some basic dims?
      I knew you guys would make the switch to cocker barrels immediatly after i broke down and bought an automag freak back........

        Any idea when this whole new body would be available? Cause I like the idea of an aluminum body, and also I think the old automag bodies look pretty boring.
        Now that's the ugliest damn bong I've ever seen.

          I liked JanssonSWE's and Dave's milling I think its a good idea to keep available the old body just incase some one wanted to buy.

            We are not going to make a one piece body because with 100,000 mags out there everyone will want an upgrade. The design also allows us to make this on a 4 axix lathe in one step. That should keep costs to a minimum. Not doing the sight rail with a dovetail is going to cost you more and it looks like you dont want that.

            I need more pictures of what you guys like.

              Closest pic I could find for a comparison. After going through a lot of Angel pics... they really look quite different.

                ok,Is this the prototype for just the body? Or for the whole gun.Because with all these things on it it would be about 700-800 dollars.Then you would have a gun in all price ranges.

                200-300=classic automag/minimag
                400-500=micro mag
                600-700=RT or RT PRO
                700-800-this new gun thingy
                900-1000=emag
                1200-1300=SFL
                1400-1500=extreem

                im not sure about SFL and Extreem prices,but I think im close.It would be a very good idea for AGD to have marker available for every play,and budget.

                  well.....

                  I suggest a milling sorta like the sfl with like a gem on one or both sides of the feedneck. Interchangable breeches sound good but i think it will over-complicate things. I dunno i might try and work out something in the shop with my milling machines today and post a pic. Im gonna focus on the back and front of the body and have some little milling in the middle. Thats all for now.

                    i think you should ditch that body rail. it looks like it has mini stubby wings. Also, warp is a must, otherwise i'll just stick to my warp body. I would give you guys a pic of what im talking about, but i dont have PS at school. I'll try and cook something up tonight, but im not too good at PS.

                      ok
                      I like the body but I hate center feed
                      if you could base the center of the body to be dim. the same as a exteme, and mill it to use the same replacable blocks it would be great

                        Even though i'm getting out of paintball i think it's damn sexy...we should have a contest..something like "Design the Milling for the New SuperMag"...if Tom end up using it, the winner get a kit to convert his or her mag to the new body..and if they don't end up using the winner you can send them a warp or somethin..just an idea..

                        p.s. I call the supermag name..you could do a jewel that's a take off on the superman logo..hehehehehe...

                          thank you webby, Keep the sight rail. As i said the sightrail offers so much in the way of customization. You could hire people to carve the names of teams out of a stock solid one, you could have your name carved, you could have the agd crest and slide it in there. there is so much you can do in the way of the sight rail. I cannot create anything with my computer because i do not have the skils to. would some one please put in the sight rail carved in in the E(from the valve showing) fashion and carve in Butterscotch Yo or jax warriors into the sight rail?

                            I'd say if you made the removeable sight rail different, to look more like what some of the pics have been showing, that would be the trick. I think that the removeable sight rail that is on now just looks out of place, it doesn't flow really.

                              I don't like centerfeed, but if there were a powerfeed version I would go for it

                                i think this gun looks sweet! i think after i sell my guns and get my ir3 i will defiantly get another mag if it had that body

                                EDIT: I gotta add this... Tom with this body you really need to make a base rail that goes with the milling so that everything flows into each other. also a nice foregrip that matches with the gun would look good too
