    PBX E-Frame for Mag Valve

    I've been contemplating whether it would be feasible but if we could do it, wouold there be enough demand to justify doing a run of let's say 1,000 frames.

    Your answer to the poll would be critical. Your comments are welcome.

    yes as long as the following.


    Good frame(current frame talk sounds good)

    easy echange to swap no custom work needed ifso it be fast and not very$)

    if the frame cost less than $350..otherwise i may be rethinking my opinion.

    i do have the $ on hand etc but btw its really ahrd to say at this point since i havent even seen a vid of it. just random speculation and rumors.

    is it true this thing could cycle over 40 bps? think soemthing about the cockers going around 40 cps and the mags being even faster..unles i heard wrong.

    also does ti really have to be 1k to make it worth while to mag users? a few hundred might not even be a prob but...1,000 imho alot in teh mag community.


    i think this mod has GREAT potential for pbx as well as mag users.PLEASE DO IT




    although on a compeltely diff side of things just think of the ultimate marker you could make with this mod.

    looking forward to seeing these


    --edit with teh current pneu frame being months to eyars to ..w/e only choice we currently have is devilmag ...btw im not to keen on them.

    also the whole supermech idea sounds like a waste......what better way to platform this
    mq-valve?
    is there another gun that is lighter,smaller,more compact etc than a mag?...didnt think so.

    oh and my karta told me to tell you that it wants the mq-valve too

    --edited for spelling and added more info

      This frame is different from the one that will use the mQ. The frame we're conceptualizing here is one where all the necessary things to actuate the sear are in place.

        I think you might have tought trouble selling 1,000 of the frames... to current owners.

        HOWEVER, I beleive that if you built something like this, it would possibly inspire more people to get a mag.

        Still, 1,000 seems a bit high for such a type of product. ALOT of people have already invested over 100 for a vert frame. It seems mag owners don't go through new markers, they go throughg new frames . I think that a product with the credibility of the E-Frame could help out the mag image alot. I would love to have the feel of such a marker, but have the guts of a mag. I think 500 would be a more realistic number that could be done.

        I personaly, would love to see something like this since I just bought a mech mag... but am iching for something more since I have this after owning a E-Mag. But my problem is - MONEY. I need a new car. ETC. Everyone would want to have this, of course the biggest problem is money.

        edit first question is void from your post.

        *What is the estimted price?

        I think it could be done.. if it's not too expensive and easy to do.

                You may be able to sell alot to local players. I have seen a steady rise in mag users in the past couple of years. If the word spreads, you could sell them.

                I'd buy one in an instant, but I just got a Logic frame for Christmas. If you need someone to test one, I'll do it

                  Certainly interested, but will need some more details. Approximate price, looks, available in vert / 45 degree etc. What sort of board would be used? Possible to mod an existing intelliframe (or any other frmaes for that metter) to accept the electronics & solenoid etc.

                  Put out a quality product at a competitive price and I believe there'd be a market for it.

                  Level 10 is all I need, but many other will want to know if the board will support eyes.

                    If we do go ahead with it, it would be able to support both reflective or beam break.

                      Interested, but I've gotta wait until you can give me more information. Do I need to send the marker in, or is it a Bolt-on mod? Reliable? Price range? how's it look? (is it going to be heinous like the hyperframe?) power source? single LED/LCD/buzzer/other feedback device? time to market?

                      If you can bring something to the market that is available (unlike the hyperframe/mako/booya are now), is decently priced (emag lowers are still $300-$400), nice enough to want to use, and maybe is available in a y-grip or similar frame, then I'm most certainly interested in it. If it's going to be ugly, or let me down on the field, or cost more than the 'mag I'm putting it onto, then nope, not interested. I'll wait for something else or I'll build it myself.

                        Id most likely get it if it was a bolt on similar to the e-blade very simple instilation and it came with eyes. Altho if it came with eyes would you not have to do milling to the body? What kind of functions would the frame have and how high would the price be? Forgot to add that for me it would have to be a 45*

                          I would prepay if:
                          price wasn't high(cheaper than eblade)
                          it was easily walkable
                          available in 45 and 90(I prefer 90)
                          uses a 9v or something other than emag battery shape.
                          Drop in, or like somebody said, like the eblade.
                          Easily customisable not too confusing, like emag frame is good.
                          took .45 or 90 grips
                          had a lcd screen



                          or at least most of these
                          I knew not what I did but am now edumacated

                            1000 frames?

                            You realize AGD only ever sold around 2000 Emags......ever?

                            My guess is think in terms of 1-200 max.

                              What valves would be required to support this. ULT equipped x valves, regular x's, retros or old style rt pro valves, Classic's?
