I've waited 9 months for an xmag ... should I still get it?

[teufelhunden]

AGD values quality and workmanship over everything, yet they won't fix a problem like this?

In paintball, looks are part of quality and workmanship. AGD should re-anno the entire thing, they aren't shipping X-Mags anymore. If they won't do it, take your business elsewhere.

You could always Warp ULE the E-Mag, but you have that Karta...

i agree, i hate to say it but i wouldn't tolerate it either...

i would either ask them to fix it (have them get it completely re-annoed with new breech), have them set you up with another one (i personally would tolerate it if it was a different color as long as it wasn't too ugly). And if they are unwilling to accomodate, then go else where. it is VERY unlikely anyone would pay full price for a gorgous faded gun with ugly raw breech ( or even some small discount). So why should you?

good luck man

wait for warp sluggos

[RenagadeOfFunk]

I voted no...

...do it once do it right...

just mill out the e-mag...(don't buy the hype...buy the color/performance )

[evan123]

This may sound stupid but you bought as gun for a damn breech. That sounds really stupid pal, sorry for the harshness. I can't imagine spending 1000 dollars for gun because of something so simple. The PTP feedneck adaptor for warp has nothing wrong with it plus in the days that your warp is down or you don't feel like using it presto its back up. This is the same as the x-mag which makes me wonder why the hell you would want it. Your emag has a karta, one of the sleekest bodies around. If you got your emag annoed it would be perfect, or you could just manage to not use Warp *gasp*. I know you have played with out it but to me i just think it is bulky and gets in teh way a lot. Plus to mention it is leaning and snap shooting that can cover your *** and plus i love to switch hands and don't enjoy "leaning" side to side....


Just IMO.

You already have a Karta

Do the following:

1) Buy a Vik or Excal - better, cheaper marker
2) You would still have about $500 left-over - get a Logic Vert frame milled to match said Karta
3) You now have about $350 left-over - buy a warp socket from Rogue and PTP warp adaptor from Proteams, or better yet, send both your markers to Doc and have him "Warp" 'em
4) Depending on the option above, re-anno your new, pimp Karta in a different collor than your new pimp Vik/Excal.

I would take a DM4 or alias over the mag personally.

[Bolter]

get it..... if you don't like it, sell it before you scratch it.

[jayloo]

get it..... if you don't like it, sell it before you scratch it.

I just may do this.

[Enemy]

i say buy it and if you cant match the anno on the breech sell it to me i need an x-mag and will tolerate having to re anno the whole gun!!

[deathstalker]

I was told I could get in the next batch if there is a next batch.

I would take my chances on the second batch. If there's something wrong with that one, forget about it.

If I had to vote between the two options presented, I'd stick with the E-Mag. I would just keep my eye open for good-condition used X-Mags and wait patiently for the deal you can't pass up, like a package with marker, tank, and hopper, for example, for a very low price. You can then sell anything you don't need to recoup some of the cost.

If you trust eBay, you can find some incredible deals out there. Don't rush into anything and seriously lowball auctions that look good. I still think my best eBay deal was a brand new PF/HL reverse valve MiniMag, brand new 68/45 Flatline, brand new Intelliframe, brand new DYE tank cover, brand new Boomstick, brand new Shocktech drop, and Flex 7... all for $540 shipped. After selling much of it, including my existing 45/45, I basically got a new 68/45 Flatline, a new Intelliframe, and a backup Flex 7 for $200 shipped.

[phantomhitman]

that really sucks. i would want it, but i would want it right. if you paid that much and waited that long then it should be right. it must be nice to just say it is not fixable to a customer like that.

[GT]

for this amount of money if it isnt excatly what you want dont buy.


so do you want a 1400 gun with an un annoed part?


GT says no!

[Steelrat]

For that amount, you should get what you want out of the box. I'd either wait for another X in the following batch that is annoed right, or look elsewhere. X-mags arent really any better, performance-wise, than a lot of other guns out there right now. Thats not to say they're bad, shucks, I own one. But buying another gun, then getting a used X in the future for re-anno, might not be a bad way to go.

[AutomagRT1483]

Just get it. Have the breech anno'd to match.
