I like the idea. around the field, i think the smoother the better, less places to clean in between games :)

I am very angery at Airgun Designs. They switch threadings, I switch companies. I'm sorry, but what if WGP suddenly switched over to tippmann model 98 threading?
Havoc.

[agdemagman69]

why the hell would wgp change to tippmann 98 threading? Tom is changing the threads for the BETTER, changing the threads to a 98 doesnt offer any advantage.

Anyway, the reason for using cocker threads is simple. To attract new customers. People with mag barrels have them because they already own a mag, But people with cocker threads already own another gun (i can think of about 100 guns that use cocker threads) If someone is thinking about changing guns, which we all do, they will see that the mag offers cocker threading and see that as a plus because they can keep their old barrel.

[personman]

The only reason he is changing the threads is so it can be 'modular'.
I gave that as an example, because it is pointless.. just like this.. I'm sorry, but if AGD switches threads, Im switching compinies and thats that. Oh wow half my gun comes apart when you unscrew the barrel! Stupid. I already have barrels, and I'm keeping them. If I change barrels, might as well change guns.

[spazzed]

I Think I saw something about this earlier in the thread, but are warp bodies possible with this?

[FutureMagOwner]

person you have your barrels you have your body you dont need to buy this new body tom isnt making you buy it just keep your barrels and keep your body. others happen to want cocker threading and vert feeds and all the other bejaz and frankly more people want that so tom should aim ore towards it he should aim for the minority

[personman]

I could'nt really care less.. some time or another my powerfeed is going to break or something stupid like that and the only replacement will be a friggin modual piece of crap..

Your whinning doesnt even make sense. If you switch companies, what will happen? You will have to sell your barrels to buy new ones anyway. In case you didnt know, there are ppl who convert mag barrels to cocker barrels for cheap, that would be your best bet.

[rudy]

person man it is most likely AGD is still goign to produce the original classic with ss body and barrel so you will not have to worry also quit being a selfish %&$#@. No one really gives a rip if one guy is going to leave, change his gun just cause they got thier panties in a bunch all over barrel threading. It might save you money but overall it will save many more people much more money to switch to cocker threads and if that means I have to give up the twist lock then I can live with that. You cant make an omlet, without breaking a few eggs.

what will the ball detent for this gun be? If you make it angel or cocker, you are going to have to design a better detent cause since the plastic nubbin the ball detents are no where near as reliable in my expirence.
i personally like the tippmann detents..

Also it would be great if it came with a All aluminum valve or at least the reg back AL like a retro. cut a little weight make the gun look sharp.

I definately like the idea. I might have missed this but could you explain how you could put any vert adapter in the gun. Are timmies angel threaded? I would definately lose the Micro for one of those bodies and an aluminum RT Valve . I from the looks of it could this make the mag the lightest gun on the market?

i personally like the tippmann detents..

I just wanted to point out these can be a pain in the behind to work with cause they are pretty easy to lose. How about a proteam like detent?

[magman007]

OK people, QUIT YER WHINING!


First off, this thing isnt looking too modular, well i got an idea. I think around the so called breach area, there should be some extra width, and the breach would be a litle wider too. NExt, we use the same baisic concept of the angel roto breach. but, since it is in a tubeular design,we can use the barrels to hold the breach in, and then use the roto thing, have 3 holes drilled for "side feed"(like a cocker for all you epople crying about powerfeed) and vert feed. The side feed would double as your warp feed, and the vert for you verters out there.

now you say, great idea mag man ,but waht about the vert feed tube? how would i clamp an elbow onto there for my powerfeed and or warp feed? well, agd sells a stub, thats all, a stub threaded for the feed tube, like on the sfls. a stub is al you need. Does any one have any freekin idea what im talking about here?

[Spray Painter]

if AGD does come out with this type of body i would definetily look in to buying one although the bodies on the old thread look alot better. cocker threads and ball detents are the way to go.

[Will Wood]

How about a "go alluminium" like the Go Retro program??
Yes, Sinnet I'm first.
