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 .

The cost would be considerably less, without removable breaches and less extreme milling. Don't think it would cost near as much as an X.
Going "ACEless" would also cut costs I would wager.

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...

I'm not saying that AGD shouldn't redo the E-Mag's looks. But I don't think it should look so similar to the X-Mag. Despite Manike's best efforts, the X-Mag looks great (I'll poke fun at him while he's coming from the UK to those rebellious colonies for the Long Island big game).

One of the complaints of AGD guns is the styling, right? While Jam's design is very nice (and I do like it), I feel that it's too similar to the X-Mag.

Using your Ferrari analogy, let's say the X-Mag is the eqiuvalent of Ferrari's new Enzo - a very limited edition, top end car. Now, Ferrari has other models of course - each of which are quite different in appearance than the Enzo. It wouldn't make sense for Ferrari, or any other car company, to have their various models too simliar to one another...or else they'd do what the Chrysler did in the past. Anyone remember the K-Car? Same car sold across their various brands (Chrysler & Dodge) but other than the badge on the trunk and grill, they looked the same.

Just because a redesigned E-Mag doesn't look like an X-Mag doesn't mean it's ugly. Variety is the spice of life!

[j.t.]

This is what should happen-
An Emag with a ULE body and a removable body rail, but have them fit together to look like one body like JAM posted above. This would save on costs of milling an all new body which doesnt have a rail at all. Possibly some different milling on the new body, different from the current ULE's.

Removable breaches are nice but would really step up the cost of things. Annoes then need to be matched and slots need to be milled in the bodies for the breeches. If you wanna get it cheap your better off to stay away from the removable breeches.

Then have them all annoed to match and offer them in all kinds of different colors.

One more thing to consider is the new trigger mod that may be released. If this came stock on it you could reduce the battery pack size all together and go with one that looks more like a foregrip.

I like this Idea, but why not do all these changes for a regular mag? I think agd could sell a lot more nomal mags if they upgraded them to standard ULE bodies, or something in that matter (kinda like WGP) but that's just my thought, but I would buy it when/if I get the money, better than having to wait for an X-mag

Just for you... I whipped these up real quick for you Gunga. The top is standard center feed, the bottom is warp feed. Of course adjustments would need to be made if it was to be actually made... but it gives a rough idea.

I don't think it looks like "poop", but to each their own. I did this as a FAVOR for someone who asked NICELY. I would be more inclined to change it even more if I was not TOLD to do it..... After all, these are just concept images.

Better? I agree it looks better that way, but next time please use a little more politeness when "requesting" something be done.
