Hmmm...could this be an encoded nugget straight from the horses mouth?

Let's see if I can get the rumor mill started.....

Tome Kaye, owner of Airgun Designs, released a statement earlier this evening regarding the production of the newly designed F-Mag. Replacing the traditional metallic components commonly found in modern day markers will be a host of cutting edge fiber optic relays and microswitches. Production of the Fiber-Mag is to begin immediately and scheduled to hit stores late summer.

How's that sound?

[momags!]

P.S. I'm only partly joking......

[momags!]

OK....just got back from the patent office. The fiber thingy is now MINE!!!!!!!!!! bwah hahahahaha.....

Im surprised at how little attention this thread is getting. I figgured it would dang near be stickied.

Hmmmm methinks there's some significant behind the scenes maneuvering.....

You better believe it, bud. Some serious behind the scenes stuff brewing.

Does anyone now question the wisdom of Mr. Kaye's decision to drop production of the Xmag and Emag?
I bet Tom knew about AKA's decision already, being an industry insider and keeping a close pulse on the situation.
The fact that they both announced the same news within 1 business day of each other might indicate that.

To those naive folks who thought the SP lawsuits wound not mean anything significant to the sport, I say "Hah!"

Big changes are already underway.
Some will be bad. But some will, inevitably, lead to better things in the long run.

We'll all have to wait and see.

That should explain how I feel. Now I'm not sure if i want my viking now, the resale value of it in the future and everything......

EDIT: Not trying to be immature. Just what first came to my mind. I know some feel the same way. Don't ban me, its just a lil' joke

*You should know better than to post that here. Watch it*

[phantomhitman]

LMAO, THAT IS GREAT

how many minutes until its get deleted though

[fallout11]

It's been up longer than I thought it would already.

Way to go, bunkermaster10.

[bunkermaster10]

I have a thread for it at the AKA forum on pbnation, the mod didn't mind it at all, (yet)

[Major Jam]

The rumor mill says that AKA is not staying down long. Ye of little faith, do not despair. If you can hold on a couple of months, you might like your Viking II's.

If the authors of all the anti Smart Parts posts across all the message boards I've been reading got organized and spoke with a collective voice they could have a HUGE impact.

I wouldn't worry too much about that
My guess is within a couple of months, it will be worth every bit if not more than what you paid for it. Remember, Vikings are still awesome markers, a LOT of people want to get one, but now AKA doesen't sell them anymore. The used ones that go up for sale are going to have tons of people jumping on them IMO.

[fallout11]

Yep, your Viking just became "OOP" (out of production), and hence, more valuable.
Demand remains, but there will be no more supply.
