Twistlock Gone Forever??????

[BagelBoy2004]

I have a lot of money invested in twist lock barrels. I really wish AGD would make ULE Bodies with twistlock.

[andrewnelles]

I hoped for that also, then gave up and sold/traded all my twist locks for cocker barrels.

I don't like WGP cockers and I don't want anything that says 'Cocker on my Mag. That would be cross breeding: a bad thing.

[Southpaw]

in the dealers forum their is a guy that will put cocker threads on a twist lock barrel for you

[WenULiVeUdiE]

He wants the oppsite. Twist lock in Ule, not the other way.

Don't forget WGP used to make the stock grip frames for the Automag

Personally I don't care that the ULE's have cocker threads, I prefer my body to be made of Stainless Steel. I do wish there was a nice vertical feed twist lock SS body available though (I know, I know, there's the no-rise but I was hoping for something a little taller...maybe I'll just get a hopper spacer)

In the mean time, the conversion of mags to cocker threads is a good thing. People sell off their twist lock barrels for cheap (resale isn't very good at all given the dwindling market) which means I get to buy them for a fraction of the original price

[Southpaw]

Convert your barrel And no his point was he didnt want to buy new barrels. or I think that is what he wanted.

[WARPED1]

Get one of Docs adapters.

[TransMan]

docs adapters are for using cocker threads in a twistlock body

[WARPED1]

Oh yeah.

This is an incredibly stupid post. First of all, the key to evolution is diversity, so cross breeding is a fantastic thing. What's worse is that there is no real argument against the use of cocker barrels, short of clinging onto norms. Cocker barrels are cheaper to manufacture, used for many different markers, and everyone has them. There is no logical reason to keep the twistlock with the introduction of the aluminum bodies.

Very true Very true. Maybe somebody can disspell this idea that I have heard from others on the field. The only negative about an Autococker barrel is that to remove it takes forever to un-screw. Kinda hard to do during a heated match if you ever needed to clean it out or anything. I don't know how angel threading compares but I am familiar with Tippman98 and Spyder. I am curious if anything has a longer threading.

Peace

With the Level X, one shouldn't have to clean during a game anymore

The point is that twist lock is easier and faster. I would like to see a twistlock ULE body. NOT a coversion adaptor from 'cocker to mag or mag to 'cocker.

Just because everyone has them doesn't mean it's the best.
