    Arizona Mag Comeback

    I've been seeing all this converstaion about mags making a comeback, or AGD going down hill, but I just wanted to share with everyone that atleast in the Carefree Arizona area, mags seem to be growing in popularity.

    At my local field they even started renting out automags
    Behind the counter they have multiple mags on display, including a micromag, some nice ULEd mags, a Pneumag, and even a minimag with the confederate flag design painted onto the body

    Recently I've seen atleast 4 or 5 people in the last couple of weeks with mags, and I think the field owners and refs being mag enthusiasts has a lot to do with it.

    At my local paintball shop there is also a good mag base, they always have minimags and classic mags in stock, and even have an AGD longbow and an x-mag, along with multiple ULE bodies, lvl 10 kits, and many other parts and upgrades. The shop itself is great too, they are friendly and helpful, and don't try to con people out of their money. They have a devout mag tech thats always really happy to see a fellow mag lover.

    I think it's great to live in an area like this, its nice to see so many people educated on AGD

    cool

    That's nice to hear.

    There is a nice mag presence in the scenario world out here (Va, Md, Pa, Nj), but my local shops don't carry them at all anymore.

    Wish I had a shop like yours.

      My home field (work and play there) has two AGD techs, one of which has been involved with AGD since the beginning (i itnhk he technically owns the double barreled mag, but don't quote me on that). We have several ule bodies anda couple of parts, altohugh sadly a majority were sold off on ebay.

          Ha, awesome

          I was talking about cowtown actually, they just started making automags available to rent, which I thought was pretty cool.

          And are you the one that bought that shortened pin from me when I wanted a new one?
          If you are, I havent seen you there in a while, and Im in there way too often

            Automags are indeed along the rise.

            Where is this store in Arizona? I'm probably going through there around March/April and I'd like to visit.

                oh cool, and thats too bad about school (that is, assuming that you enjoy your work)

                You should see how my mag has come along, I think the last time you saw it, it still had the minimag body.

                I have to head over there to pick up a few things, are you gonna be working tomorrow?

                  No. I might be in later around close but I doubt it. If anything I usually come in late wed.
                  I have a report to do this week and need to start gearing up for finals... so I have actually considered taking some time off this weekend as well.

                  On one hand I miss being at work, cause school is an absolute drag. Not to mention my funds are stretched very thin right now... but school is meant to fix the whole funds problem in the long run so I guess its okay. Hopefully I will have my pick of the new 2010 guns.

                    AZ is pretty mag friendly imho...

                    Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know I havent played in like forever it seems(atleast locally) but I still know plenty of mag friendly stores (APD specifically, and certain managers at other stores closer to me)

                      Unfortunately, outside of AO-OH, you don't see many 'Mags in Ohio. (I guess you could include some of the MCB-OH guys, too)
