No problem. Yeah, things like that can be tweaked along the way. It is the general shape and design that these concept images are meant to capture. Folks are more than free to take what I posted and play with it, make adjustments, or whatever. Have fun. :)

Something more like this?

[PzYcO]

yea, thats looking good :)

[shartley]

hmmmm I don't know about anyone else, but I think folks would definately pick up both and look at them. And if they pick them both up, the chances of a sale would be increased.......

(JAM's is great also though.)

hey jam, can u make one that, on the back where the bolt and body come together, make the bottom part of the opening extend more so that its not such a harsh angle? i think the blue mag u made looks good, but the one thing i dont like is the really almost vertical angle u made on the bottom. why not extend it out to be a smoother angle with a lesser slope i know it looks more like tthe xmag that way but i think it would look that much better. anyways they look great. keep em coming

Shartley, these bodies look sweet too!

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).

REBELS RULE!!!! wach out. im gonna be hunting brits, particularly, ghram and manike. but i will be hunting down manike for his xmag. i got to see it. finally an x mag in NY

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.

Something I have argued about long and hard, which no one ever seems to remember, is that I have stated that the updated E does not have to completely copy the X-Mag's body. All that I recommend to do is to design a body with a lot of the same flavor as the X. Something that would allow you to put the two bodies next to each other and any person off the street, or the paintball field, would see that two bodies are similar in "styling"...a new AGD Slug that takes some of the cues for the X's styling but in a lot cheaper milled fashion..that's all..maybe tone down the curves a little bit (or a lot) and give it some of the some of the same flavor.

maby they should just sell the "sluggs" they use to make the xmag with and let peopel make their own "xmag" type gun

i think that would be sweet with a orange to black fade anno.

I don't think it should resemble the x-mag what so ever, if you are going to make something new and fresh then don't copy something else .

Also using any sort of a rail/ body combo , instead of a single piece body defeats the purpose .

This is a good idea !

As far as I knew the X's were milled out of a solid block of aluminium with just the bore drilled/milled out of it... I think Simon would be the only one who could provide that kind of info...

That's what I was thinking. Somewhere along the lines of the Speed. You could also shape the breech area to give kind of a flowing look to it.

Why? I don't mind separate rails.
