    OK, actually, upon thinking of it more and more...

    I'd want to do a one piece body- sep. rails stink.

    I'd mill it like a NON C&C XMag- BUT with a sort of window for the valve, it'd have NO removable breech, that would be WAY WAY faster and cheaper to produce than the X.

    Double ball detents, no ACE, saving money on the ACE and the lack of the additional milling for it. And I'd make them in dust solid colors. Blue, black, red and green.

    Custom ano colors/fades available.

          If we do go with a single piece body how do we make it so that we can mount either a stock foregrip or an e-mag battery pack ?

              nuclear zombie: well, the emag battery pack threads to the frame not the body. So a new body would only need a threaded hole to attach a vertical adapter for a non-emag.

                I agree with Spork and Curly.

                JAM - Could you make the design that Spork reposted into a one piece body and rail design? That milling looks awesome(much better than the X-mag IMO).

                If Tom reads this - Maybe AGD should make the X-mag a "Limited Edition" E-mag and then make JAM's design the new "general purpose" AGD E-mag.

                  good lord!! That looks better than the current X-mag!! (I know you were not trying to reinvent it and all) But it still came out better. Great work Jam!

                      Tom, please use that black/blue fade one as the next milling for xmags!! Then use jam's concept with that black nonmilled extreme for the next emag! Good god, AGD will be big pimpin then...

                        thanks guys, yeah I just feel that it's time for an overhaul of AGD stuff, but keep it fairly simple. I'll try a one-piece with my first milling idea later.

                        As for how it would work on non-Emags... well, I hadn't thought of that, it really started as a way to do an XMag "lite"... but, yeah, the body would prob work with an intelliframe and a cool foregrip.

                        more later,

                          I think this thread deserves to be a classic. I can't believe no one came up with Jam's simple yet superb idea yet. What is so desirable about the xmag over the standard emag? The fact that it looks so much sweeter, the performance of the two should be exactly the same. If xmags are such a huge hassle, ditch them and make a new body that you don't have to rely on AGDE to build, it makes perfect sense.

                            I don't think it's that simple ,

                            it still needs to be a little less complex to mass produce , as is some of the curves may still require some cnc .

                            I like the design but in my opinion the x-mag is still prettier.

                              hey guys

                              My opinion on this is yes teh wait for the X-mag sucks, but Tom is doing everything he can!

                              Too simply drop the Xtreme and make it a limited run, and completely redesign the body, possibly the battery, and everything else, that would be very expensive for him to do.

                              I think the wait for the X-mag is worth it, however on a side note

                              I would like to see the E-mag changed for 2004, all ULE and X-Valve stock, possibly with a new desighned ULE Main Body such as the one in your pics.

                              Other than that though This would be hard for Tom to do, its more likely for him to make a ULE E-mag stock with ULE Body and X-Valve than it is for him to simply drop the X-mag.

                                I'm certainly not saying drop the XMag.

                                I'm saying update the EMag- lighter, more stylish ONE PIECE aluminum body with simpler-than-X-mag milling.

                                Keep the XMag as the top of the line AGD gun with the added ACE, sweet milling, and removable breach.

                                it would be cool to have a $1000 gun that had all that style and light weight. Not to compete with the $1400 top f the line, but to give buyers a choice... liek buying a Porsche instead of a Ferarri.
