      Log -yes I am aware many are made here now - but Honda is still run in Japan and is a foriegn country. But it helps prove my point - I dont care who makes it - I want a quality car that will last...

          as far as "buying american" as so many of my union brothers and sisters demand i always say read the label. dodge rams are built in mexico, is that "american made" while toyota tundras are built i belive in california. this is obviously way off topic but sometimes you have to reevaluate what "buying american" really means.

            I am in no way any kind of Auto Mag specialist or expert. I dont own an Automag.

            This is what people seem to be hinting about is the worst thing possible, would give people the oppotunity to make or manufacture automag parts. Which they could sell privetely on the open market in Hong Kong and ship here in containers..

            Before id do that. Id get a bank loan or invest for $100,000 or more and see what kind of CNC or production equipment could be had to knock out bodys. Looking at the body I hate the feed system and wonder if it could be simpler. The body seems to be the monkey wrench in the works. Its just an over glorified tube. Other soloutions could be to make some kind of rigs to up production of the body tubes. If production of Body tubes went to lets say 200 or 300 a month that would be pretty cool. And AGD could sell 100 of them in unassembled DIY packs or 50 in DIY packs and 50 in plain aluminum unfinished carts. People could send the unfinisheds for plating or anodizing.

            In the end Id have to say Automags are the Cadilacs of Paintball. Supply and demand are part of the equation. If supply of Automags or Automag clones succeeded demand the price would drop.

            In the Early 80s Lee Iococha went to Chrysler and saved a dying car company. (I would in no way say AGD is dying.) It took an investment fo time and money. Things had to change. CHrysler made VIpers and ither exciting products and began to compete. COmpetetion is the stuff of American buisinesses. Either companies will compete and make better products for less money or they will fail.

                I'm a bit disturbed by that Taiwanese site's "Flash MP package specially designed for children."
