Xmag Batch is IN!! (PICS!)

[pito189]

I can see why AGD only did solid colors for the first few batches. So they wouldn't have to put up with all this damn whining.

If you order a gun from WDP, do they call you for your custom anno? No they slap whatever they have in the warehouse in a box and ship it to you.

I have never ordered a Angel from WDP so I'm not 100% sure.... I can see that being the case though.

Anyways, to sum up my rambling quit whining. You are getting what you asked for. If it's not what you like sell it, and get a cookie cutter Angel or Intimidator.

And I couldn't disagree with you more. If you're comparing the X-Mag to an Angel you're more mistaken than you ever want to realize. Call Cobra Paintball and order a Custom Mamba Ir3 and then have the gun come in and look like puke. I'm darn well not going to accept it and neither would you but that's acceptable from AGD? By the way you talk I can tell you've never ordered a marker from a custom gun shop. X-Mags are a custom built and anno'd to order marker. If you tell them you want something and you get something else and you do have a right to moan and whine if that's not what you asked for. Why ask if you can't do what your customers expect from you. I was unhappy and i was taken care of and I'm fine with it and the situation is solved as far as I'm concerned.

Paying what they did for a marker, the main attraction of which (in comparison to the E-mag) is its LOOKS, I think they're entitled to expect that when they ask for a "fade", what they recieve will fit the universally accepted definition of a fade. I have not seen anything in the thread that could really be called whining. People expressing their concern, certainly, but no whining.

I am frankly completely bewildered as to why a company with as much annoing experience as PK would think that a fade should start on the barrel. I would think that something like that would be done only on express, 2x clarified instruction, and even then with a . As was previously stated, t'is a rare person indeed who leaves the stock barrel on such a gun. The only way I could see them doing that would be if the gun came with a high quality aftermarket barrel, and.. even then..

I feel bad for Tom even more than for the people who are getting these.. I imagine he had no more reason to expect this than they did. PK owes him an explanation, which I would imagine he has plans of getting.

I like the dust fades in question :) however its not how I would want it to look either but I still think they are the best looking ones in the bunch :)

Well, I dunno much about the fades, I've read everones complaintes about the fades being wrong and the colors being off and I still think they are pretty cool looking. But I'm not a big fan of PK. I'll never forget the reply to my polite inquiry about haveing an E-mag reanodized... I asked about 6 questions and I got a E-mail with 4 caracters in it. "350$" Which answered one of the 6 questions and the second E-mail was ignored. So it doesn't surprise me that AGD is having trouble with them.

PK is a great company, they are probably one of the best companies for large anodizing orders. The thing is they do not focus primarily on paintball in the first place so its not really their top priority. They are set up mainly for large bulk jobs... ah well
