      Just a quick idea: Instead of having removeable breeches, why not just make removeable rises? It can come stock with a no rise or high rise, and have various other, such as the warp adapter, as extras? Just an idea. And, by the way, JAM, as most people have said: WOW
      It's Bold As Love

          Same here--I'd pay X-Mag prices for one of those with the fade reversed, easy. Amazing work, JAM.

          That is so sweet. If it could be produced in higher quantities than the x-mag I would be interested. I like the removeable breech. I like the idea of being able to play with a hopper or my warp.

              if AGD could find a way to keep the E-Mag under $1000 i know i would see more around. i would buy it!

              Hows about AGD gives us a choice of...
              one for under $1000 with less milling solid color,
              and one with spiffy milling and cool ano for over $1000 (or under if possible )
              the less one can be called the Cowboy E-Mag
              and the fancy one can be called the JAM E-Mag

              ha ha ha that would be tight

                i think that would be the easiest way to make ANY x mag i think the hardest part of the body to mill and make light on the inside of the body

                  As much as I like Gunga, I would have to agree and disagree with him on this:

                  While this one is very nice, I think it's a bit too similar/derivative of the X-Mag. As such, from a cosmetic standpoint, it may take some sales away from the X-Mag.
                  Ummm..sorry to be the first one to tell you this...but that's the point...if you can make it cheaper, faster and lighter..why not do it? Maybe...just maybe..this could be for AGD what you had hoped the X-Mag could be. Ferrari only makes a certain number of cars each year, much like AGD(E) can only make so many X-MAgs. So make a gun that's similar, maybe minus the removable breech that can be made cheaper, sold cheaper and expand AGD's marketplace with a gun that is almost top of the line, but still is not an X-Mag. An X-Mag will always be an X-Mag..and there are those that wouldn't want this and will pay the money for an X. But why limit yourself to the Model T scenario, make a few different shades of E's to try and cover as many levels of the marketplace you can. Maybe you could a learn a little from Tom's friends, John Rice and Budd Orr. This is their marketing strategy..plain and simple..

                    I hafta agree here, leve the X as a top of the line "special addition", then just update the Emasg a bit here and there.

                      Well, think of it like this. We don't want AGD to turn into another Kingmann, kicking out the exact same gun with a slightly different design, or color job...over and over.

                      Just a thought.

                        well what i think is they should do the rail and body design but carved nice like jam has it so its easier to mill. and toss out the ace personally to save price etc since it isnt exactly necessary with level 10

                            You can buy a current emag at paintballgear.com for $800...

                            As for making something like this and having the xmag as the "elite" that's kind of silly they both would have the same performance (minus the ACE but you don't need that anyway) they would just have different milling, I would personally take Jam's concept over an xmag, it looks much cooler. I may have said this before but I think AGD may be getting tunnel vision about the xmag. I don't think everybody wants an xmag so much as they want an emag with cool milling that looks like the rest of the current eguns out there. I think people are sick of a rail with a tube on it. It's outdated. So bypassing the whole xmag ordeal and just making a new body/rail combo with some simple cool milling may be wise.

                              I like the look of JAM's idea but I doubt it will be much cheaper than the x-mag . You might be able to get it around $200 cheaper at most , which breaks down to: If started now it' will take at least 6-8 months to get these on the market , at a cost slightly less than the x-mag ,so why not order an x-mag now? in my opinion the only way this would work would require a single piece body .
