Gone missing: X-Mag XT00237!!!

[OmniM]

ok, here is a lil odd thing.

As some of you know I had 2 Green/Black-faded X-mags.
First one is shipped to the US, and the other one might also be soon...

... but when I was about to check the valve I saw that I have XT00236, not 237 as it says on the box.
So now I wonder... where is that 237?

Look around on the fields everybody, it might not be in the US but you never know.

Thanx!

MAybe the one that hasnt been shipped yet is 237...If you've owned these before they were shipped then you probably switched the guns in the boxes. /shrug

no... the one not shipped is 236, I have the box for the 237. And they came straight from AGDE so no middlehands or sth beside the previous owners.

[Maggot6]

I thought you were implying a stolen one

[OmniM]

Getting rid of your XMags? Leaving the mag family?

nooooo ... will never ever be x-less

[psychowarden]

I have never seen an X-mag besides mine, and same with alot of other people at the field.

And just for a little update. I am now the owner of XT00218, and on the website, it says that it is Pewter anno, but it is a black to pinkish fade. So I dont know if there was a mistake in the info, or if it has been reannoed a different color.

It has been reanno'd. And to a sweet color I might add.

[psychowarden]

Gotta agree, and it still shoots like a dream too. Just wait till I get the Fireblade or Tunablade in it Then it will mow muppets. At the tournament I played in a few days ago. I had 3 people ask to trade guns with me. A guy with a DYE DMC, some kid with a Defiant 2, and a guy with a Karni, and of course I said no to all of them.

[OmniM]

ooooh, yeah. OK, will edit that ASAP. Never reflected over that it was already in

When was it reanno'ed?

[psychowarden]

I dont know when it was reannoed, Duzzy would be the one to ask that.

I really hope you find that X-mag though.

XT00218 hasn't been Pewter for almost a year now... I sent Omni a whole write up with various pictures quite some time ago but it remained Pewter... By the way, it is a gloss black to claret fade. Not just pink. If you want the information let me know by PM and I will get it to you as long as you update it this time.

Toss me it Duzzy, and I will put the one up first. Im playing around with new layout and I can use this one as a pilot

How could I be so foolish, of course its claret. I just know that after I pulled that inch long piece of teflon tape out of the reg, it shot like a dream Just wait till I get a new trigger. But I dont know which one to get, the Tunablade or the Fireblade. Its such a tough descicion.

XT00218 was bought from Dayspring by me around November of 2004. It was a great deal at the time so I jumped on it. Even though I don't like pewter... Anyways, when it arrived I could see that it had been well used and I decided it could use a little love in the paint department.

After a while I decided on a Jaguar pattern with a black base and red spots. I also bought a Tunapack and an RPG Snatch Grip for it. It would be called the Blood Leopard. After a little checking around I went with Art over at A+ Anodizing. After some weeks it arrived back safe and sound looking like this:





The spots didn't look like I had envisioned but I was pretty happy with the looks from afar but up close there were places where the black had run and fingerprints here and there on the body. So I talked to Art and he agreed to either redo it or do something else and give me a refund should the new job be cheaper.

While I was trying to decide I saw an absolutely beautiful IR3 in the F/S/T Forums. After talking with the owner I discovered that it was a gloss claret to black fade. I decided that I wanted the same fade. So I talked to Art and it was done. After several more weeks I got it back only to send it off to Tunaman for a tolerance check and a tune-up to get the most out of it. It looked a little like this:




(Please note that while it looks pink in these pictures in proper lighting it is actually much deeper and darker and generally more attractive.)

Once I had it in my hand it was too pretty for me to use. I think I used it once and that is it... A shame to be sure. Anyways, eventually the need for money kicked in and I sold it to psychowarden. The story is his from now on.

(As an aside to psychowardern I apologize for the teflon I was in a hurry, and the difference between Pink and Claret is very important. Pink markers generally look like Pepto-abysmal to me, claret is a deep pink and purple wine colored mix that in my opinion is so much better.)

[psychowarden]

Meh, dont worry about the tape, it could have been me for all we know, I did try a few different ASAs untill I found the one I like, which ended up being the mini drop and ASA from my Torid X. And I agree, the claret is a bit deeper and a bit more purple, and looks friggen sexy. And soon, it will look even better (if thats possible) I just sent in payment for a Fireblade, and I have already added a 14in CP one piece barrel, lays paintballs on top of eachother across the field. I previously was using a J&J and Boomstick on it a the last outing for a while, untill my friend let me use his Empire 14in Kit, and I liked the feel more, so thats pretty much it, I dont see the need to do anything else to this beautiful marker, although I may try some clear plexiglass grips and see if I like the look.
