Pay prior to shipping. Single color CnC is about $1250.

If you received a bill along with your marker, everyone would own an E-Mag and AGD would be out of business.

i just found out agd doesnt do blue for the x-mag

i was wondering if i just got a plain body "no anno" would i still have to wait 4-5 months??

Yes you would have to wait. It's getting the raw bodies themselves that are the hold up. Its not the having them anno'd

I think they will do Blue for you. Just not the Light Blue like them first few ones cause they didnt match up too good and Tom was unhappy with that. If all the parts are sent together that will not be a real problem. And Dark blue usualy covers pretty good.

really they will do dark blue, thats the color i really want, dark glossy blue.. i had did a thread a while back asking if they could do blue many people said no but sense u say they will alright...

they should do dark bule. only way to find out is to call

I would be surprised if they were doing any custom annodizing jobs with the current backlog on the product, though shipping a raw one to you might be in the cards.

ben their baisically doing anno to order, as long as it isnt some crazy fade. Maybe after the pre orders are slod out, then they will stop that, but as it was stated, the dealers contact you incase you want to change color etc. and ive seen all colors be offered, with the exception of the light blue.

Showtime, im sorry for the confusion. I had been told earlier that no blue's would be done, it looks like your in luck.

THat marker will look hot in a dark "almost spyder shutter" blue. with the black valve etc, it will be amazin. It will almost make me want to sell my sfl... almost

If it is done on a gun by gun basis the then the additional wait for a fade(vs. solid color ) is attributed to the annodizing company and not AGD, right ?

**cphilip** · 02-28-2003, 01:05 PM

There is no additional wait for a fade vs a solid color. Its just additional money. Your turn comes up in the preorder list and you can have solid color or two color fades. Same batch goes out to the anno place together and come back together...Essentialy they are all Custom done to order. Even solid colors. It all a matter of when a body comes up with your name on it

**nuclear zombie** · 02-28-2003, 01:06 PM

i that case put me down for a fade

**Kevmaster** · 02-28-2003, 01:30 PM

call up AGD then....

X-Mag detents

Rob's X-Mag page

On the website indicated above, there are several pictures of vertical feed X-Mags, but there seems to be no consistency as to which side of the marker (right or left) that the detent is placed.

On several markers, the right side of the breech module smooth, but on others, there is a ball detent.

Comments?

are all the fades done to a constant length? I like how the fade looks, but doe all the fades end BEFORE the feed module? I would like to have the color run through the module before fading.

**Kevmaster** · 02-28-2003, 05:25 PM

i believe that is controled by the anno people, so yes, they would all be done to the same length.

what i really dont like about these anno fades is how short the "fade" is. its like black for 45%, gold for 45% and then a little fade for 10%. To me, thats just not that good looking, so I went with a single color. didnt like how the fades are coming out.
