AGD should seriously consider purchasing raw Karta's from NICAD.

while i think the katara is cool i dont think agd should be picking up any custom bodies. i mean this has happened before where people are like omgomgomomgomomg i so will buy that then it goes way of the roller trigger.

[Top Secret]

That's probably because they weren't having the bodies as a stock option. Like Shartley said, nobody wants to buy a gun, then drop another 250 on a body, leaving the original parts unused.

well it seems like no matter what it is unless its something ground breaking like level 10 or ULT it doesnt sell until agd says it wont make any more (like the roller trigger ) i doubt making it stock for extra money will be as suceessfuly either.

People didn't have much problem dropping more money on Speed Demons as opposed to normal Speeds. Same deal with alot of other guns. If it looks better, people will buy it. In some cases if it is really milled and ugly, people will still buy it cause it's different than the norm. *cough*Species Timmy*cough*

Or... you could buy a marker with a ULE rail and a Sluggo body, Then send the rail and sluggo to Nicad for milling. This would reduce your costs and avoid the superflious body you would accuire any other way.

call Jon im sure he can work something out

and I know that Nicad will mill a sluggo and rail for what it costs him to mill + Labor.


Simple. Effective. Smart.

well i dont see that coming over to the mag market because it seems to be people are only buying new xmags and classics and the like and more people are getting everything else in the used market atleast tahts from my obeservations.

tom i think everyone was under the assumption that the chord bodies were out of stock....especially when you go to the agd store and it says out of stock.

[hardr0ck68]

i dident know it was so expensive to prototype one of those slug bodies...my machinest is only chargin me $100...hurm, after he is done with my body i will sell you his name for $200 and you can all make out like bandits

[nicad]

Ths first batch of AGD's Chord V2s where out of stock a while back. AGD has since aquired a very limited number more around World Cup time. I guess its just a matter of inspection and some paperwork before those showup as available.

(brainwashing) go! request them! buy them all! (/brain) :)

(Respectfully) I had seriously thought about getting the Chord body, it's really nice, too nice to fit with the rails that are available. It's a beutiful piece but it was $250 for a body that wasn't annodized and didn't have a matching rail. If it had been annodized I may still have bought it.

I agree... not going to happen for me either. Not when my RTP works just fine the way it is. And this is my real rub with most of the bodies.... can I justify the cost... and sadly, I can not.

I know some can, and that is fantastic. But I have way too many mouths to feed and bills that need paying.

[Lethargic]

I just had a really cool idea. Because most AGD guns have interchangeable parts, why not set up the website so that people can easily order custom parts? Each person could set up their guns with this body, and that rail, that frame, and a choice of valve, barrel, etc. Each piece would affect the final price accordingly, and in the end, each person ends up with the gun they want, straight from the factory.

Granted, this would cost more to make the markers custom, but I know that I for one just shelled out over $400 for an X-valve, ULE and a ULT. I would much rather have ordered an RT pro straight form AGD with all those things on it stock.

Anyway, it sounded like a neat idea, so i posted it.

[AGD]

We are currently working on a gun package that will allow you to order any grip frame / body combo we have as a stock RTpro from the factory. Standby while we get it together.

So... I guess I wasnt totally ofbase with the Sluggo Emag thing. Dare I say... right on target.

and then if you just had to have it on a "New" Emag you could send the Sluggo Emag body and rail to Nicad and get it without paying for an additional body you dont need...

and to confirm this goes for all Nicads' bodys here is an excerpt from the chat:

Edweird: hey Nicad.... what I said in that "AGD to buy your new body" thread is true right? ... You will mill a rail and sluggo that someone already owns right?

NiCad: any of our bodies yes.. send in a slug gets ya instant $100 off.. rail for dallara gets $25 off.. and is about the only way to get a dallara right now due to lack of rails from AGD.
