I didn't see this posted anywhere so I figured I'd post it.

Head some one mention it on the wgp forums awhile ago, and was excited. Black magics are amoung one of my favorite markers. Kind of hard to see it in that picture, would you happen to have any full body shots of it?

[Ov3rmind]

I owned a Black Magic a couple years ago. Loved that thing. I'm interested to see what this ends up looking like though.

Seems like a factory halfblock, finally. It probably will funcion and look similar to existing models. Looks like more body sculpting though. Good news all around, IMO.

I would still go with the 02-04 black magics. Just my preference.

Haha, I have been waiting for the halfblocks myself. too bad they didnt make these in production years ago.

Why dont I see a back block in that pic? lol hmmm maby it wont be as costly as the orig. black magic was so now I can buy one

I got to dry fire one of wgp's guns with their new select fire boards in it at the oklahoma d-day. Must say I was pretty impressed. The milling on that black magic looks pretty cool however I have yet to see a full body shot.

black magics and the original sto's are the sweetest cockers.

[professor_chaos]

Only cocker I've ever owned is my current pro edition karnivor, I like it.

Full body pic...



Meh IMHO, take away the backblock and you don't have a "cocker" anymore. Watching this shoot is like watching a timmy, viking, etc.

[DiSoRdeR]

Yuck, they killed it! I agree, if there isnt a back block it isnt a cocker any more. It doesnt even look like one.

[atm743]

looks ok

somthing new

i still like the older body than this one.

it looks like the tip of the body is from a minimag body or is that the barrel??

Even though I think them calling it a Black Magic kind of ruined it, I can't deny it's sexyness.

Interesting, still closed bolt sucks.

Its obvious what WGP/K2 is doing....

Theyve halted everyone making anything looking like an original cocker with a Backblock(Patent/Trade Dress/ Etc infringement).

Now they are making a half-block/turtle version to compete with what other aftermarket manufacturers will be making.

Overall, they are taking as much of the market as they can.

Once WGP makes half-block markers, do you think they will then go after anyone else producing them? That was my first thought when I saw this. I don't think they would get very far, but that doesn't mean they won't try. Either way, I think it's a nice looking marker. If I was going to buy a half-block, though, I would wait to see what CCM has up their sleeve.
