AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Nothing connected to the thread subject as such. Opinions are one thing flames are another...this thread is a now more than one or two posts light now.

Your dislikes are well enough known and constant sniping at specific members will result in some vaction time if it happens again. If their posts offend you that much then put them on ignore so you won't have to read them.
I like the idea of using the X-Mag body for a mechanical gun but the problem is that the E-Mag platform wasn't designed for mechanical play except in emergences. I had commented to John (AGD John) that I felt my old RT-Pro shot better then my E-Mag in mechanical and that's when he told me that of course it would. The RT-Pro is meant to be mechanical and the E-Mag isn't really.
My point really is that I think you should put an intelliframe and RT-Pro sear (if it fits) on there to get a true potential of using an X-Mag body as a mechanical.

Are the lowers Ule'd? I'm sure they are if they are Xmag lowers. I would probably do that if there not to make it a touch lighter. I like it! Keep us informed.
Why? why do you have to say something like that? He has a really nice gun, don't post about it if you don't have anything nice to say.
Well...It DOES look like every other XMag out there. Basically all mags look pretty much the same. It's definitely a great looking mag, but how much more praise can be said about mags and xmags without becoming redundant?

Why? Why would it nor work as well. As long as the tolerances are the the same they should work the same. The only thing that might be different is where the trigger makes contact with the trigger rod.
im pretty sure im going to run it mech, so that means no internals!!
Tell me what you guys think, im pretty sure your going to call me crazy for running an xmag non electronic.
Why yes, yes I am.
Primary: Black Ule Emag, Rogue Wingless Rail, X-Valve, CCM No-Rise, CP Rail Drop / on/off, Egg, 14" CP two piece, 70ci (peanut) dye throttle.
For sale: Micromag RT, Intelliframe, Egg, 12" Dye Stainless, Kapp Foregrip, 88ci Smart Parts Max-Flo 4500psi.

I'm sure that's part of it. Perhaps the on/off pin length has something to do with it as well. John didn't tell me exactly.
I know there is a difference because I can feel the significant diference between my RT-Pro and my E-Mag in mechanical mode. While the "tolerances" might be the same, the shape of the sear and the exact dimentions of the E-Mag frame vs. the Intelleframe (or whichever you use) may be different.
In the end, like John said, it's to do with the fact that E-Mag is set up perfectly for E mode and the mechanical mode was never intended as the main function. It's still good and doesn't hurt the gun or anything but if you want the best mechanical AGD marker you want an RT-Pro type set-up even if you use the X-Mag body.
In the end while I wouldn't pull the electronics out of an X-Mag if I wanted a mechanical. I'd love to use an X-Mag body as part of a mechanical Mag.
With that said, I'm not knocking they guy for doing it, just giving my advice for how he could get the mmost out of a mechanical Mag with an X-Mag body. :)

Yes infact the trigger pins are different, i use the xvalve trigger pin for an rt and a rt sear, thats what inside, its completely rt internals, and since that makes the saftey useless, i modded the trigger(RPG Splinter) so when you turn the gun to emode it acts as a saftey with the trigger stops precisely adjusted, there is more thought into the internals in this gun then seen. It is my honest belief that every gun shoudl have a safety, i hunt trap shoot and sporting clay soot, so i find it very important. The valve i trade out on the two markers i simply put in the emag trigger pin when its on my emag and use a xvalve in(rt) when its on the xmag. Works flawless, its a MECH-X with rt internals.
