      There's a lot to be said about being a strong "niche" company.....strong and dedicated following, excellent product, excellent service. Scenario also appears to be a growing market that AGD is well positioned in. So...AGD....live long and prosper!

      Now...you guys quit this silly thread and start a thread on why paint is to expensive. Why can't we buy quality paint at $20 a case?

        'cause paint companies don't do it for free. I'm actually kinda happy with paint prices. I used to pay $150 a case back in the day. Heck...try $1.50 a tube of ten!

        With the massive amounts being shot now, I agree it could come down a little.

          The mark up on paint is astronomical. It coudl come down a little. At least $10-15 a case would be a nice reduction. And it would be totally doable for the dealers and the manufactorers.

            I think the shops that claim AGD is going under only such because they don't carry Automags and just want to direct your purchase interest to what they have in shop, as Office-Gal stated. When they say this your brain should just register "I run a cheap knock off shop with cheap guns at top prices, buy from me today and I can sell you something else new in a few months".

            Not carrying AGD is one thing, saying something malicious is another...

                Subway tracks might be, but electrified fences are NO legend, I can swear to that, and I did swear then too.

                  Old rumor... like how AGD used to make nail guns... or the Mag is based off of a nailgun design.

                      Why are their web-stores non-functioning then???

                      Well I have some very big doubts here.

                      Two months ago I ordered some much needed parts for my Mag through the Automag-UK online store. Not a word, mail or product since... And believe me I've tried to mail them all; Airgun-UK, Airgun-US etc. No responce whatsoever!

                      About 6 months ago I got my orders just fine (a little slow only).

                      Bad thing is I need the parts!!!

                      I don't want to change to another platform but without parts I cannot use the Mag anymore. This is a sad thing...

                      Are there some insiders here who can explane this to me?

                        I'm no insider but if you need parts, Tunaman has one hell of a rep for being quick on his feet and his prices are better than what I can get in Canada (even with duty).

                            I have ordered a load of spares from Tunaman and some great upgrades from themagsmith.com, I live in South Africa and there aint no spares over here unless you bring them in yourself, My local shop does bring in RT parts kits on request but it take months.
                            I used to order my spares from Airgun.co.uk, order your stuff straight from the states.

                            Make sure when you order you think of the future, so order 20 bumpers and 2 rt parts kits etc... I have a spare of everything and I managed to make my Emag brand new again, except for the board which is still 1.37 (come on TAG gimme the predator )

                            Order from Tunaman, think he is very busy though so place your order and be patient it will arrive. There hasn't been one automag spare he couldn't find for me. [email protected]
                            (except a z-grip for the old style RT)

                              I dont think AGD is going anywhere... as more and more companies are going out of business the more I think that AGD's strategy is smart.

                                Thanks for your answers everyone. I guess I'll go and start mailing Tunaman then. I've visited the other webshops like airsmith but they don't seem to sell the original parts I'm looking for.
                                I would hate to say goodbye to my just (almost) completed X-mag.

                                But I still think it is very strange for a so-called 'alive & kikin' company to have what seems a radio-silence around their webstores...
