My shop cousins paintball on long island,yes i know its not where you all talking about but there reason was. They use to store mags too..

They had lot of mags come in and had leaks and such... too many problems, thats bs, all i see is cockers and other markers in there asking for repair.

i will be playing with pride the entire 2004 season.

i will be driving and meeting my team when they fly out to events out here but i will be flying and meeting the team when they will mostly be driving... capo has pretty much taken my place for this season since ive been out here all summer. usually we play the 7 guys that can make an event... all i know is i plan on playing all of the nppl 7 man events while still practicing with whatever decent norcal teams i can play with... ive been chit chatting with a guy named will from twisted factory and might get out and practice with them if i can...

peace

If you want good practices then find out where teams like kapp and mommas boys are playing. I know for example that mommas boys will be scrimming with syn on sunday out at wap. That would be a good time to get some good practice.

The KAPP in Santa Rosa has a mag. Its a crappy classic mag, with the teflon body, single trigger, and no barrel. Who the hell is going to buy that thing when theres stuff that looks 50X better on the wall for the same price.

I complained about this in a previous thread. Basic AGD guns can be good guns, but who the heck is going to buy one to find out with them looking like that. Plus, if they shot that basic one, they might very well be disappointed with its performance, what with no level 10 and such. No wonder the new KAPP doesnt have em, I bet this one has been sitting on the wall of their Santa Rosa store since it opened.

Wanna generate a change? I'm betting the bread and butter of gun sales for these stores is in the lower end guns. If AGD can't make a low end gun thats gonna sell for em, why the heck would they bother to sink money into a high end gun that might also sit on their wall. We can preach about their virtues all we want, what matters to the store (and rightly so) is the bottom line.

BTW the one in Santa Rosa also carries mag accessiories, barrels, o ring kits, and other mag stuff. SO theyre definately giving mags a try. They didnt put the mag stuff in their new store? I can guess why...

i think the only mag part that delta has is a crappy 32 degrees parts kit. for some reason, im not really worried that the local stores dont carry mag parts. i know they would simply jack prices up, and i would still buy my stuff online.

[OfGodAndGlory]

Well i got ditto's just 5 minutes away and they have loads of AGD stuff.

Other then that Rogue is the man. I got my mag from him and one of his hats too. Both very nice!

[Oregon_pb_]

i'm not going to pay some store owner 20% over what i could order stuff online for.





The sad fact is alot of ppl are in the paintball business to *make* money. 8 years ago ppl were in the paintball business to provide products locally and cheaply so everyone can play. Online is cheaper, and owning your own business is even cheaper than that!!

For grps around the country.... Just organize your OWN business, buy BULK and give everyone in your party at cost. You have like 30 people buying consistantly.... figure the rest out ur self.

we need help in GA 2

my field/store has like nuthin 4 mags...
the other day when i was reffin and 2 kids had mags. so i turned to the head airsmith and said "wow more than 1 mag here, is that even legal?"... it was funny at the time

[xXHavokXx]

Kinda on topic : Yeah if youre in Nor Cal you need to play at WAP, they have the best field set up around and a Syn vs Momma's Boys practice would be a very very nice place to get some practice in.

On topic : I work at Tracer PAintball here in NorCal and we have mag rebuild kits, and a few mag barrels and that is it. Why? No one asks for them or to see them. WAP uses mags as their rentals due to reliability but other than that Mag users in our area are few and far between, Afew guys have emags, i had never seen an emag in good condition till i went to IAO and had never gotten close to an Xmag till IAO......here everyone wants an Intimidator or an Angel. Bob's shop is 30 min down the road so everyone is carrying a Timmy.

The bread and butter of our store recently hasnt been the lower end guns, it has been the Angel Speed, they are selling faster than we can keep them in stock, often we have prepaid Speeds taking a majority seat in our incoming orders.

Now that ive seen the xmag in person id like to see more of them out here and begin carrying them, but we have to have people wanting them before we can stock them. And id like us to stock one so i can mess with it.

Offtopic : Jimmy B and Oj is a great way to start the day.

Havok: Were you out at wap with a leaking timmy last sunday?

[LittlePaintballBoy]

nor cal AOers, see the thread "Z-Mans heading to T.A.G." in meet and greet if you hev not already.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

SoCal's got it's act together..we never thought any different..

[USAF-Flyboy with a Mag]

Skirts and AO....
Took the X-Mag out to Velocity Paintball (store) and did some AGD preaching. One of the store employees was actually in the process of building a mag. Another said he is going back to a mag. One other said he's interested in getting a mag now after playing around with my X-Mag. It attracted a lot of attention from the customers in the shop.

[nastymag]

well i am going to be representing the mag love tomorrow at Sherwood forest. my LCD is crapped out , so its Mini mag time.

their is a decent number of mags around here ..all classics though , ive only seen one emag in person.

[xXHavokXx]
