A Different Hot of the Mill Emag Extreme

The only prob I have with this design is think if you have to field strip the gun on the field, and when you pull the valve out, the gun accidentally slips out of your hands, falls, lands on one of those end spikes, and it either bends it or breaks off. Now this may not be a valid point because of the meat of the metal, but please consider it, because AGD has a reputation(as far as I am concerned) for making products as tough as rocks.

I know what you mean and I was concerned at first also. so I sneakily 'leant' on one when no-one was looking. It's bloody stiff and isn't going anywhere easily. The metal is quite thick on top (as thick as some drop forwards) and the tubular shape makes it quite strong and stiff.

If you were to drop it, like any gun, you would ding it but I wouldn't be very worried about bending in the top at all. It would actually be a heck of a lot stronger than the top bit that sticks out the back on the SFL.

Thanks, time is not an issue anyways, so when the time comes, let me know and we'll take it from there.

What's up with the trigger and the trigger frame? It looks completely retarded and out of place in terms of the guns apperance!

hhhmm in what way? The gripframe is a one off I designed for myself, but some of the ideas are going to be available as options (option means you have a choice to get a different one if you do not like this one!)

The trigger was done very quickly as a prototype and the reason for it was to see if making a blade would put the finger contact points too far forwards. It was also to see if you would be able to operate the gun with a finger behind the bottom of the trigger. And it was done to see if it would look too fat in the frame.

This PROTOTYPE proved out the functionality and ideas it was supposed to perfectly.

i agree with those who said the frame shouldnt have grooves. they seem too restrictive, like theyre telling your fingers where to go. just like with the bushmasters vs. defiant frames, the bushmaster feels much more comfortable to me,

Hi,

Do you have an E-mag? If you grip the frame you can see how the fingers below the guard sit. There is actually also a lot of room below your little finger when using it conventionally. I have big hands and can use it with two fingers below the guard or even three! It all fits on the grip fine. Jackie who has small hands also thinks it fits her too...

The finger grooves are an option, I intend to provide modular programs so that you can order it with or without the grooves, the narrowed back, or the extra finger slot for single finger firing. You may need to wait longer to get your gun, but that is what custom is about. You get OPTIONS!

if you want grooves you have a choice with dye stickies but your not forced to have em. if you ever wanna sell that prototype body let me know.hehe

Unfortunately there are no DYE stickies available for the E-mag (I'm working on that also!) so you do not have an option for them anywhere else than if you order them on your frame.

I don't like the idea of them there at all, because they are somewhat limiting...you put in 3 grooves, it means it's meant to put 3 fingers there, with 1 moving the trigger. Or with only 2, its meant for 2 fingers to use the trigger.

No you don't as I stated before you can use the frame with as many fingers as you like below the trigger guard. It is large enough to work with 1, 2 or 3 fingers below comfortably. If you go find my original post on the frame you will be able to read a better description of your options on how to hold and fire with this frame.

YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO HAVE THEM IF YOU DO NOT WANT THEM

(yep that's me shouting) you guys have yet to click onto the fact that all of these features and millings are custom options. You have a choice. If you do not want them or do not like them no-one is forcing them onto you.

As it is now, it just looks too chiseled as opposed to sculpted..

This one was supposed to look sharp and chiseled. There will probably be smooth 'melted' designs in the future.

This one I wanted sharp and racy.

What type of barrel are in those pictures?

An old prototype one from a different company. It does look good though doesn't it. We may be able to persuade them to let us have whats left of their stock...

Anyway you could make the grip frame use dye stickeys?


Cause they're nice...

It's under investigation. Don't bank on it though.
