why did agd abandon twist lock?

[Magaman]

no.... not that I know of. There was an issue with the SS ring in the body's that was used for a long time forming a lip of material that might have to be filed down if the bolt stuck. But that was just before the barrel.... After that there was a few issues with very small bore Cocker threaded barrels sticking. Filing the bolt a tad was the fix for that. But no... there was no issue with level 10 and the twist lock barrel that I recall.

true. tanks now are heavier than some markers. And often its harder to place the tank in a comfortable location to balance the whole set up.

I don't have any problems with my Lvl 10 and my Twist Lock...

why dont we just tell the truth!

sorry tom i have to do this!

tom and the gang at AGD where just fed up of making the grooves with their handy-dandy dremels.

my gun's heavy as hell, and i don't mind it that much. i use the heavier and unbalanced of my barrels because i like the way it shoots. the weight piece of this argument is much less significant than the thread seam piece.

has a company ever made quarter turn or half turn channel threading for a barrel. You know, kinda like the threading scheme on a the breech of a Howitzer?

I think Tipman came closest to one. A very corse thread that only takes a few turns to undo it. But nothing close to what you describe. I guess the AGD twist lock was closest to what your descibing but basicaly was an L shaped channel to lock rather than a thread.

I believe the Marker is called the Viper M1. It uses a " 1/4 turn barrel", as said from an ad.
