    Who has gotten tired of waiting for an X-Mag and bought a different gun?

    I just wondered if anyone out there has gotten tired of the X-Mag and just said forget it and bought another gun...as many people know me I'm the paintball markers version of a packrat..I've had just about everything so far..I'm going to be getting one of the new Trauma FreeFlow Matrices while I'm on the waiting list for the X-Mag but it's really starting to just drive me nuts...

    im tired of waiting....i would hate to settle for a diffrent marker....but if the new shockers are out before i get my xmag i may have to go that route.

          Well I have now picked up several different emag configurations over the months. To fill in during the wait. I wouldn't have made any moves at all if I had known but in some ways its been kinda cool to have tried these different things. Course I am always a loyal AGD guy so its always gonna be a Mag so thats not much of a threat to anyone. But I do understand your frustration. I have been on the trigger on this thing while the info keeps changing and things keep not happening so I realy do know how frustrating this is. Simple fact is the bodies are not there to fill em and the valves were first messed up and so things just did not work out as planned. But things are now seeming to flow. Assuming no more delivery problems, I should think things will realy straighten out come the next few months.

          Whatever you decide to do its your choice. For me, a loyal shoot a mag primary marker kinda guy and nothing else will do, I wait...However pissed and dissapointed...I wait.

            My new DD viking #393 is most certainly a symptom of an insufficient avalibility of X-mags. I'm still going to get one, but now I'm going to wait and see about custom ones like the new batch of SFL's instead of just grabbing the first Cnc off the line. I remember when the Extremes were going to be out LAST Christmas!

                I got sick of waiting about 2 years ago. Bought a timmy, bought a GZ, finally got an X-mag (sold it) and bought a dragon.

                  I am tired of waiting and don't really want to end up as # 9999999999 on a preorder list, so i'm just buying an emag. I won't be able to have an ACE but at least I can have a light body with the ULE, x-valve, and slug body...

                    waiting means not playing...

                    not playing makes me go insane...

                      I was thinking about the x-mag route, but I also went the e-mag route. I dont really care much about weight, being that my field is all matricees I have one of the lighter guns if you'd believe that. And once the xmags get into smooth production I will get a body, and a ule trigger frame, and then maybe get it milled for ace way down the road.

                        Well, no matter what I'm getting me a new gun before next tournament season. Which for me starts about march or towards the end of febuary. I would like to get a x-mag, but therese no way I'm gonna get one by then and I'm not gonna wait. I'm trying to decide between the Micro-E or the new shocker. Of course the new shocker has about 85 % of my attention becuase they are going to be alot cheaper than the Micro-E. And the shocker is going to be an awsome gun if they stand up and fills in the shoes that smart parts is making for it. But yeah, I wish they could pump them out alittle fast becuase I know I would get one. But since they are not, I don't think I will be buying one.

                        Later,

                          I'm part of the january order...I've been watching your December order really closely to see how they turn out. I actually bought out BHood's Deep Blue Dust LED; it's going to have the new Crossfire Reg and 14" Matching Dye Ultralite, Magnet frame and I'm getting a conquest too (has anyone heard of problems re'annoing conquests..that's what he told me when I asked him if I could get it matched)..

                            Yeah I bought an E-Mag. I guess I will have to save more money when I can get an X-Mag. E-mag is good for now.
