the search for the space mag

[Maghog]

Sweet juicy aluminum batman!!! Me wants one! It would have to be completed though, as in slots for the sear, holes for the screws, pin holes for the trigger and such, but that thing would be absolutely perfect on my new mag.
I would only be interested in one piece, without any other mag parts(I've got plenty of those)
I bet you'd find a willing buyer to pick up the other one as a full set up if you wanted.
I am not pressed for time on this,I still have to finish the E-Mag, so do it when you get around to it. Let me know what you're thinking money wise on one completed piece and I can send you a down payment if you like.
Thanks for the tip on Robbo, I hadn't thought of him. Haven't heard from him in ages either. Time to get in touch.

Wow, if another spacemag gets out into the public, that would just be so cool seeing it in B/S/T....

Finally some one goes and takes on a retro project.. Bout time...

I always wondered where the space mags went myself. During that 96-97 time frame they were just about in every mag and then gone... no trace none of them ever surfaced again....


The strange part is Ive seen rarer gun pop up forsale not sure if any of you would know this gun... but Danny Loves pre shocktech SFL cocker.. black with yellow stripes down the sides. same time period of the space mags and used in almost every JT add that Aftershock was in. And Then in 2002 or so if popped up forsale...

Well I can assure you that if I get my grinder on one of those grip frames, it won't look anything like a space mag. As beautiful as they are, that's just not my style. All that massive aluminum lends itself to some pretty interesting possibilities, especially since you don't have to watch out for air passages and such.

Anyway, back to the subject. I contacted Robbo, and he never heard of the space mag. I linked him up and he said he'd never seen them before. I then asked for the name of the editor of PGI in the mid 90's. He said it was someone by the name of Tim Tighe, but he doesn't know where the hell he is.
So, anybody know Tim or have an address? I think I have to start going after the old gurus to get some info here soon. I really want to hear if TK ever got to see them or if he knows anything. He remains silent. Is there a hidden mystery to these guns that no one dares to tell?
I ain't quittin' yet,

Get a hold of Bill Mills. He might know something.

[Maghog]

There's another name I hadn't thought of, should probably try Jessica too.
Thanks man.

Bill posts on here all the time, I'm sure he'll see the thread eventually, if you can't get in touch wil him.. I think his Screenname is "billmi"

[ShooterJM]

Jerry Braun? That guy knew everyone back in the day didn't he?

[MarkM]

Tim Tighe was living in Colchester, same town that PGI is produced from though when I last saw him at his house it was about 8 years ago so he may well have moved and no I can't remember the address.

ShooterJM we have pretty much narrowed down that the Space Mag originated in Europe, Jerry only came over for a couple of Mayhems and that was back when it was held in the woods. Actually strike that he might have been here for either the Campaign Cup or Mayhem again when they were both held within a few weeks of each other and it was the first outing of Sup Air as the fields...GZ was there but I don't recall seeing Jerry.

Yeah, sorry. I just thought that if no one else knew wehre Tim Tighe was at, Jerry might have a few leads.

Wow, all of this talk about space mags really brings me back! I'd love to see a repro done. Good idea!

According to my latest info, they were made by an Englishman. I even found someone who used to own one of them, but that's where the story ends. It looks like they've disappeared into someone's private collection, and like the TLC E-Mag that was stolen from Steve Davidson, they'll never be seen again.
What a shame. I will keep trying, but I'm slowly running out of options.
