X Mags

[Roy Hatch]

Do the Aluminum valves in the X Mag look like the Stainless Steel valves?

I understand that about 35 XMags will be available in March. When will the next batch be available and how many?

1) The initial batch of X-Valves will be all-black. They are the same size, but much lighter than the steel valves.

2) Where do you get your information about 35 X-Mags available in March? There were supposed to be 150 X-Mags out by Christmas, but they have been severely delayed. I have not heard anything about it taking 3 more months to get out 1/5 of the initial batch, though. Please let us know.

they say all preorders should be filled by march. the next batch will be shipping in a few weeks. the x-valve its like the retro, except its aluminum, comes with LX, anodized and has x-valve written on the side. the x-valves should be available within a week or so.

You seem to be saying two different things. The preorders will go out by March, but the next batch will go out in the next few weeks?

Also, are you talking about the X-Mags or the X-Valves?

[Xerces]

theres another thread with this info in it. they said they are starting to ship the first group of preorders out, and they say march they should have the second group of preorders filled.

the x-valve is supposed to come out within a week or two.

There's tons of pre-orders, so there's multiple batches of XMags being created to fulfill these preorders... so the next batch of preorder Xmags will be going out to those customers in the next few weeks, then when another batch is done the next chunk of pre-orders will be sent, and they plan by March to have all the preorders done and back to standard sales.

Thats what he's saying ... I think

Eh, I don't think so. I had defiantly heard two weeks before last Wed. I can't remember if it was directly from Tom or not, but I believe it was in that thread.

I'm not mad just sad

If I have time I'll try to dig up where I got that in my head =\ Maybe finals are just messing with my sense of time

Tom was in chat a week or so, ago. He was talking about the x valve, he said the valves they had gotten in didn't meet the high satndards that we are accustomed to, so he send them back to be re-anno'd. Whether or not, this has anything to do with the actual Xmag's delay I don't know.... Just thought I wold metion it...

First batch of Xmags wont be due till early Jan, or last i hear via Paintball Inc people.... the second batch will be April to May, not March and will be much larger than the first batch of 150
