    New ULE Mainbodies

    I just want to see how many here would love a new ULE mainbody, or even a center feed body for the old RT? Looking at this idea hasn't really appealed to me (ule bodies) but i think i may think of switching down the road and i ended up buying an old rt because it was cheaper than buying an x-valve and an intelliframe, so i was wondering how many people would like to see these bodies for the original rt? I dunno, but as far as things like that go they seem to have forgotten the RT just because it's not compatible with other mags, but it's the daddy of all of the other RT valves.

    I don't have my Classic RT anymore, sold it here, but that would be great for the "old schoolers", they could take thier first baby step into the 21st century!
    (if certain people here can't take this as a joke as it was intended, well, bite me!)

      I am sure AGD, like all other manufacturers, if they are planning on making new parts would be for what they currently are making and selling and not something that was discontinued years ago.
      Yes i know it's wishful thinking, but it'd still be nice if they didn't forget those that still had the original RTs, seeing as i'm getting mine soon in the mail and i don't have the $325 to upgrade, and i also love the original RT and such, so if they don't do it that's fine, i'll keep rocking the powerfeed, but if the do do it i'll probably buy one once i accumulate some money (the rt left me pretty much broke).

        How about a special run of ULE Minimag style bodies?

          Nice joke, but if you didn't realize, the ule bodies will fit the minimag valve and rail, but it will not fit the original RT because the valve is different on the outside. Please don't make assumptions when you don't know things about the products. Oh, and they still make the origignal RT rails and such and sell them here http://store.airgun.com/index.cfm?fu...categoryID=101 so why would they continue producing that stuff for a gun they discontinued but they wouldn't still make mainbodies? To me it makes no sense, i mean you can only get a powerfeed body for the original RT, and you can't get a verticle feed for it, and i just think that kind of sucks. I mean this gun revolutionized the products produced by AGD, and all of the valves and guns they have now with the exception of the pro classic wouldn't be possible without this gun (the emag and x valves are the same valve, the difference being they fit into a body like the classic, rather than the body going over the valve) so why are they not even considering ULE bodies for the original RT?

            I am talking about a vented style body just like the minimag. Yeah I know it will fit most valves.

              Oh, i thought you were being sarcastic. Well i don't care if it's vented or not, i would just like to get a verticle feed down the road, but that's not seeming at all possible.

                I believe there used to be some kind of upgrade special at AGD for people with older RT's. Check out the AGD site.

                  Haha, i addressed that situation earlier, saying i don't have the 325 to upgrade. Also, i'm happy with the setup i'm getting as it has a double trigger and level 10, and plus it's got the valve i want, so i see no point in wasting 325 just to get a centerfeed body as well.

                      I would also like to see a ULE body with the Mini-Mag like vents, I think they look sharp. Its also the only reason my wife won't go with a ULE body on her Mini-mag, because she likes thel look of her polished Mini-mag body, even thou it would shave some weight off her marker.

                        #1- ULE stands for ULTRA LIGHT ENGINEERING. The minimag body is HEAVIER than the regular powerfeed and certainly the regular ULE bodies. If you did a minimag body in aluminum, it would be HEAVIER than the standard ULE body. Not exactly "Ultra Light" is it?

                        #2- The Classic RT was phased out for a reason. (Namely its non-standard parts & the fact that the banjo-bolt & rail air fittings leaked like crazy.) It's a discontinued product. And they are NOT producing anything more for them, they are selling current stock.

                        #3- They offer the upgrade for a reason- to get the older, non-standard parts off the market so they don't have to service them.

                        I'd get used to disappointment.

                          But the only thing is that they DO make new product for the gun, such as special intelliframes and extra parts for the gun. Also, i've heard that it only leaks if you set it up wrong, like forgetting an o-ring. Also, they aren't selling anymore rts, so i have no clue what you meant by "they are selling current stock".
