    Tom... save you, save us money.

    The sight rail...

    Come on, do you REALLY need to keep bundling theses things with the E-Mags and RT Pro's still?

    1. A sight is almost pointless on a paintball gun, especially if you use bright paint.

    2. Most people yank them off, I am one of them.

    It has to cost YOU money to make them and costs us money to buy them. If not get rid of it altogether, how about as an add on option?

    It's one of the reasons mags are not mainstream. A sight rail is so... "old school scenario". When everything else in paintball looks... "limp bizkit", having a sight rail on such an awesome gun looks so... "Bon Jovi".

    A lot of people want an X-Mag, a lot of people don't want to pay so much more for cosmetics and then wait a year for it. You can make the E-Mag at a decent price and keep up with demand un-like an X-Mag, why not make E-Mags more appealing? ULE parts standard with that 3.2 software... people will start to notice. I have made people think twice about their next gun purchase when they see my ULE E-Mag with 3.2 software in action. The potential is there.. get rid of goofy stuff like sight rails. It's 2004, not 1994. David Spade isn't on SNL anymore....

    heh, first "Tom Kaye should run AGD like this" post of 2004!

    Very true, save the sight rails for your TAC-ONES.

            I like the looks of the Mags with the site rail. It breaks up the mono tube really nicely. And I do not think them stamped SS ones on the RTP's cost very much. I WOULD HOWEVER LOVE TO SEE A EMAG ALUMINUM SITE RAIL OPTION ON THE RTP! Now that I could sink my teeth into as an option. And I would love to see a front grip cradle out of Aluminum too. For the foregrips. Anno'd and all.

              You don't buy a mag to fit in!!

              If you want to fit in, buy an impy or a timmy!! (driven you nuts, eh Warped1 )

                I'm with cphilip here. I may not have a use for it, but it's never coming off my mag. I find the silver forgrip mount kinda unbalances the black/silver look when the sight rail isn't there.

                wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
                downwards, but I have this strange feeling
                that most people would take it as some kind
                of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
                to infer one's final destination."

                      I think they should lose it. It does nothing for the functionality of the gun. I also think the mags looks much sleeker without the big ol' sight rail on the back.

                        Exactly.

                        I didn't by my mag to "fit in", I bought it because it rips! But the first thing I did when I took it out of the box was yank that lame sight rail off and throw it as far as I could.

                        Some hate it.. some like it... have it as a $20 add on.

                            I never take mine off to clean it. I just stand her up and take my squirt bottle and have at it. Let her drain onto a towel and sit in the house over night and she is clean as a whistel! Still say it looks better with the site rail on. Thats the beauty of selling it with one.... don't like it? Take it off! Try and sell your marker without one to someone that likes it? And don't got one? Well your screwed. Better to have and not use than to not have.


                            And I seriously doubt that SS stamped out site rail is $20 either. It might make five or six bucks worth of difference in it.
