    New Emag Gripframe!!!!

    I've had my emag for quite some time now, and theres only 1 problem i have with it. The grip frame.

    I've noticed that when i snap with my emag i never really hold on to the grip. Its really hard to explain, but the back of the gun (where the screw holds the valve in) usually ends up resting on top of my hand.

    I think it would be nice if AGD could create a new grip frame similar to the angel frame, but not at a 90 degree angle (cause wdp owns the patent) but you could make something at 91 or 89 degrees

    The only problem i could see occuring is the solenoid/sear.
    Im pretty sure you could mount it in a new gripframe, but im not sure if it would work.

    Anyway, post your comments/ suggestions here

    I'd be all for the near 90* frame. I never hold the grip actually when I shoot because it is angled back so much. I think if I had a frame like that might actually hold the frame instead of resting the tank on me and holding the battery.

      The reason your valve screw is sitting on your hand most likely has to do with that hump on the back of the grip frame. The colored E-mags, X-mags and SFLs have had that shaved off. I find the humpless grips quite comfy and when I fire I only have 2 fingers touching the thing anyway.

        i never shoulder mine. i hold the foregrip and rest my warp on my left forearm. this gives me a steady base so i dont need to hold the frame to shoot

          AGD should make the 1st angle adjustable frame

            Bah... I dont really think that the adjustable angles will be possible... Unless like they can move no more than like 10*... I can see it then...

                      lol, that gun is milled to death...


                      angle adjustable wouldnt be possible due to the solenoid/trigger rod position

                          wdp cant legally hold the patent to 90 degrees. there are a lot of guns out there that use the 90 degree angle also. if that went to court, wdp would lose.

                            They don't hold the patent for 90 degrees itself. They hold the patent for a 90 degree grip frame.
