Tom... Manike... I hate to do this to you, I really do.
But it nonetheless has to be done. I have my principles, and I could not call myself a man if I deviated from them merely because of my great respect for the both of you. So here it is -
That design is stolen. It matches very closely a blueprint that I came up with when the Extreme was no more than a twinkle in Tom's eye. This design was copyrighted. I shared this design with Manike at a tournament in Europe. He might not even remember this happening, but I have a feeling that he was at least "inspired" by the example.
However, as I mentioned before, I have a great respect for Manike and all the folks at AGD. So instead of getting the lawyers involved right away, I'm going to offer an opportunity to clear things up- Send the gun to me, and I'll look it over and see if it is close enough to my design to warrant legal action.
Of course, if the design differs from my own enough to be considered original, I will simply keep the offending marker as a form of appeasement.

You wish. I expect an apology when you wake up from your dream.
Ben_JD, It's a Timmy63 trigger and it works beautifully.
It's one of Tom's J&J barrels. I just traded and got a J&J equation set so should be checking that out soon.
