    Chances of ther return of the Pump Mag??

    Would there be any chance of AGD releasing a pump kit for the Mag again???

    Or just straight up selling a pump gun again ......

    I would highly doubt it considering the ULE bodies can't use them without milling, rails would also need to be milled for them and you can't use one with an x-valve without replacing the Level X bolt,

    the list goes on...

      All very true, but you can use the Classic that they started selling once more. Figured if their going to be going further and further back to offer everyone other options then maybe they'll go a few more steps with a pump and maybe the re-release of the 6-pack.

            I believe they were melted down.

            I think AGD should re-release a pumpkit, It would fit well with the whole scenario field they seem to want to cater to.

              That and the fact that pump/limited play is making ahuge comeback. Almost every article in APG is about it and a huge amount of tournament circuits have been created for it. Especially in California. It is immensley popular again. That could be a way that AGD gets back onto any "tournament" scene.

                Well I don't think it would cater to the Scenario crowd. In all honesty I don't think they would sell as well as we would like to believe. As far as I know there are only about 50 players in the Northern IL area that still play pump. I should know cause I've played with most of them.

                Our Pump club is just not that big and we keep trying to find others to join us so we can start having more "private" pump only games.

                Every spring we have a club member that works on a field down in Bloomington/Normal and we pull in little over 100 pump players from all over the country (even a few from Canada).

                I think if AGD were to come out with a pump again that it might breath some more life into the pump community ... maybe even a little more with the return of the Micro CA and 6-Pack, but they most likely will not get enough of us to come in and spend cash to get it going.

                I wish they had plans though ... cause every pump Mag I've seen has always been an absolute beautiful marker.

                  I would Love it if they did, and buy one in a second.


                  But... they probably won't.

                      Pre-order in dust black.

                      There are several options out there if you dig a little. I think there are several shops that could mill for a pump kit, and even if you can't find an AGD kit, several shops could do the work custom.

                      /just be prepared to wait
                      //and don't whine
                      God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.

                          even if they had a comeback, they arent the best on gas efficiency. and we're talking 12 grams here.

                              thus the importance of the six-pack
