"HEY TOM" New idea's for AGD?

[Liquid Plummer]

Why not part it out if it's so different? There are a lot of mags out there that could use em, but their owners can get electros that are hyped as better for far less than a base stock E-Mag. Why not give current mag owners a chance at it. I think I mentioned this over at SO, but what really is the harm in it? It didn't kill Kingman to sell their lowers seperate from their markers.

won't they get sued if they make an electric marker?

No, I think not, seeing as how they still make emags.

On the subject of lowers, I really don't think they'd end up selling that many. An emag costs about $1000 from AGD. Lets say that $300 is the valve. $150 is the body. That leaves a $550 set of emag lowers. That's alot do drop on just an electronic trigger frame. You'd really be better off selling the gun you have and then buy a brand new emag. The price would be about the same.

if I'm not mistaken, there is a patent out there, owned by somebody that is hampering the mass production of PneuFrames. somebody correct me if I'm wrong, or validate my statement if I'm right.

You are right about "someone hampering pneuframes". Deadlywind had something in the works but because of Proteam Products patent infringements, they had to stop R&D work or risk litigation. It's on their website. Too bad, I would love to see a company mass produce this.

So why dosen't Pro Team Products use their patent to make a Pnu-Mag frame?

[ProblemKinder]

No, I think not, seeing as how they still make emags.

are you sure? i couldn't find one on their website.

and don't brand new angels and DM7/PM7's cost over 1000? why do people always say E-mags are so expensive? (this isn't directed towards you wjr, it's just a random thought I had while replying to your message) if I was the kind of guy that would shoot an electro, i would have no problem dropping 1000 on an Emag, rather than 1200 on the new DM7 or whatever other high end electro i might want. just my .02 i guess.

ask RRFireblade. as he is the one that would best know

that and he reportedly said that his boss (or something like that) said it would happen blah blah blah talkity talkity... you get the picture

agd has nothing they could produce. patents are being held for both a pneumag frame as well as electronic markers. agd no longer is making emags but they are selling their remaining stock. so that means the only thing they could make are mechanical markers which are the best there is as it is. the only thing i could see them making are even more cosmetic parts, such as bodies rails, new frame designs, etc. im sure they are capable of producing whatever they wanted but money talks, so agd has been silent for a while. hell, with tom as the head of agd still theyve got a hell of a fighting chance.

cant AGD sue..I dunno...just about everyone? I thought I read somewhere that they patented the air valve and how it pertains to HPA or something to that effect? I might be totally off here, something I swear I read once. I know they have too much class to do that though, one reason I love em....

I WOULD like to see pump kits again though, I bet that'd sell with the pump uprising going on nowadays.
