Finally got my X-Mag!

[Niox]

Well to boot things off my ASA leaked more than the Titanic so that had to be replaced and thanks to some most beardy person by the name of Belton (using a q-bow) I purchased one. Now the real problems started.

The X-Mag started off by shooting 310fps and chopping like a blender, then the bolt shot its self to bits. We chrono'd it down to 275fps and it chopped like a blender (possibly because the bolt destroyed its self). Then the battery connectors on my warp decided to unsolder themselves and drop off so that killed any chance of using my Mag for the day.

In total I used a Spyder Victor II, Ego 06 and a Shocker NXT.

Tuna if you read this please can you contact me as I'd like to send it back in to get the bolt replaced with a Lv10 and the warp checked as it sempt to be a little sluggish before the battery wires went.

M.Don sold 3 Xmags last june i think?? flyingpoontang has the green one, i got a black one, and you got the last one that did'nt have any matching anno-ed feednecks. As i recall he said there were only 4 of these made as a prototype annoed in blue. It's very rare and to what tuna tells about the gun i cannot recognise mine in that. My xmag has a standard emag battery and charger, and except for the ACE board, emag valve and body milling, everything looks just like my CNC xmag. The ACE board has some red wire soldered in (clearly not done by AGD) and the on/off switch does not work. I use the battery pin for that one.

Btw, here's mine:

*black Xmag picture*

Changed it a bit to a more mil-sim like marker with weaver rail on top with red dot and a barrel shroud.

i remember someone selling prototype Xmags a while back, i think he said there were 9/10 of them, not sure on that, but i remember that blue one with the raw warp

At the moment I'm pondering whether it is worth me keeping it and fixing it up or to sell it and get something more rough and ready. I don't really want to be finding something up with it every time I'm on the field.

Do you ship it back & forth from the UK to the US?

Going to have to I'm afraid. I am tempted by phat4life's 04 viking. See if he wants to trade...

im here

Good good, and I hate the suspenseful pauses you leave on AIM, I'll have no nerves left!

[flyingpootang]

Wow, that really is nice! I'm kinda sad mine lost the ACE but it was needed to get the thing working again.

I might look into purchasing a more functional X-Mag later in the year and keep this one locked away for special occasions.

The ACE on mine was burned out also and had to be removed. It didn't use an ace board instead there is a pot wired directly to the emag board & HES. The bottom of the body was channel milled for the wiring to the eye. I have pics, but I have no idea how to post them. It would be great if Tuna or TK could elaborate on this type of ACE set up.

The shot buffer is basically the sensitivity of the trigger. It's also directly related to the chance of bounce. 4 is the lowest setting available for 3.2 and is USUALLY where you want it to help achive maximum ROF.

The shot buffer (SHBF) is the time in milliseconds the microcontroller waits before is allows another trigger pull to fire the solinoid, it prevents false firing from electrical noise and / or electro-magnetic interference (EMI).

The larger the number on the screen the longer the microcontroller waits...

I had a bad feeling about that bolt. For those interested, it is not the delrin sleeved superbolt. It looks like a standard L10 bolt, but the last 1/8" was rubber. The bolt length was shorter than standard also. I cant even guarantee that a standard L10 bolt will even work. Remember...this is a prototype marker to the best of my knowledge. I am not too happy with the design. We can give it a try though, and I can surely fix the warp.

Cryin' shame

I told Tuna that I was willing to trade you a brand new Level 10 bolt for that prototype bolt, just for the novelty of having it. It sucks that its now broken.

The only thing missing is the rubber outline on the front of the bolt, speak to phat4life07 as he is now the proud owner of this little project. I may regret it at some point or another but that's life.

Cheers,

I've a question about it. Is the valve and body made to AGD spec? Or is it just the lowers and electronics that are shoddily made?

even if it is made to spec, its a prototype, they were trying out ideas to see what works.

omg!@ 2000th post

This means im one step closer to having my gun built from tuna.

Nice mag Niox!

So this is why I haven't heard from Tuna in over a month. I keep having nightmares that my minimag got buried in his laundry basket. Then I started thinking, "What if it's like the Secretary of State's office where you're supposed to take a number...and I didn't know that...so when I finally figured it out I was stuck behind 3 people that were trying to get Hazmat endorsements and were lacking green cards. Or in Tuna/Mag terms...I didn't realize it and got stuck behind people with one of a kind prototype X-Mags that need to have their electronics rebuilt.

That or he saw that I sent it in with a nice boa barrel on it and decided to steal it... ...I guess if I see a boa barrel for sale on Ebay from someone calling themselves "Tuna6969" I'll finally have solved the mystery.
