    Vert or on/off ASA? I can only supply the adaptors for the on/off ASA, and they need to be sent ot airsmiiths for those that are capable, drill their own. Keep in mind, you probably will void the on/off ASA warranty doing it.

      Are there any cosmetic changes planned? Perhaps a more aggressive-looking trigger guard? Either way, the performance seems excellent, and that's what matters most.

        I had several trigger guard designs in CADCAM that were a bit more radical but opted to go with this one because it gave the most room for finger movement. This frame suite people that have larger fingers and glove wearers. I also wanted a style to match most of the Mags out there and a style that would not become outdated in a few years.

          I meant a ready drilled on/off ASA that we could bolt right on. For some reason I thought you were going to make one. Also, will we have to buy this adapter for those of us that are going to be using CP direct mount ASAs? Or will it just come with the frame?

            We had looked into making the on/off ASA but found CP has patents on these ASA designs.

            Also Newdesigns has a similar on/off with air bleed.

            The on/off we are using are the CP direct mount on/off ASA with air bleed.

            The adaptor we would produce is specific to only the on/off you you because the hole drilled in the on/off must mated up with the adaptor. The price for the adaptor will be set at $15.00 which we think is reasonable.

              the adapter dont come with the frame? thats is very diappointing. Every photo that came in showed the adapter plate with the gun, only saying an asa would be need to be bought and drilled. I think at 300 i should have a frame with lpr and an adapter thrown in as stated in post#1. what do you think? I'd like to know your thoughts?


              The production frames include the following:-

              - Choice of black or clear anodized finish frames
              - Trigger comes with dual ball bearings
              - Bottom of frame prepped to accept an optional internal G-Force Micro-LPR
              - Channel prepped on top of the frame for LPR hose for external LPR users
              - Optional ASA adaptors (optional would mean to me that it is included but not needed, based on the production frame statements, is this an error?)to allow direct air supply from ASA to internal LPR
              - Rubber side grip panels
              - Trigger fully tunable
              - Trigger pull adjustable down to 0.5mm
              - New geometry is fully walkable (does not accept AGD triggers)

                Optional means option, not free.

                The adaptor we are offering can only work with the CP on/off directmount with air bleed. That is an option for $15.

                An on/off direct mount ASA without air bleed may not need an adaptor at all, just a single hole drill.

                  I was at first wanting to buy this but looking at it now a ready to run system is going to be:
                  200$+40$ for vert ASA + Cost of an lpr(20-50$)
                  soo 260$
                  OR for a sleeper
                  200$+15$+70$
                  soo 285$

                  alot closer to a used emag lowers system that also includes a foregrip and rail, factoring in the cost of a rail these kits are as expensive as a emag lowers.

                  People can make one of these from parts for
                  70$(intelli frame) + 20-50$ lpr + vert asa 15$(you tap it yourself)+ pnuematic parts ~40$
                  145$

                  Thats over a 100$ difference, and assembly is needed for yours either way.

                  I understand that this frame is alot better than a intelliframe conversion but money drives most of us i believe.

                  I have a few suggestions that might help.

                  Do a installtion service to have it installed etc so that it gets shipped working. Mabey offer a prebuilt gun even talking to agd to get some bodies valves rails etc. Mabey buy some cp asa's or other asa's and have a pre built sleeper option where it's already assembled, for a bolt on and go approach.

                  I know that it is probalby a 5 minute job todo but with customers you need to assume that they sometimes have the brains of a 2 year old. please dont take this in any of a bad way jsut trying to do some constructive critism

                        These two statements kinda go against each other. You state someone can build there own pnuemag for cheaper but can't drill an asa.

                        I agree the price gets expensive depending on what you want but you also need to factor in time.

                        To build your own requires many hours. Especially if it is your first one. If I could do it over again I would buy this pnue frame and not have made my own.

                        If you factor in the time it will take you to make your own gforces frame is much cheaper.

                        Just my thoughts.

                            The original offering was a ready to bolt-on frame for $199, that takes only 10min to install. Our frame do not conform to the intelliframe in any way. It was designed from the ground up as a pneumatic frame only for the Mag. The pneumatic actuator is also custom made to consume as little air as possible and to produce the most tripping force for the sear. The dual ball bearing trigger is designed to be as short as possible and for walkability. The ability for a Micro-LPR drop-in for future upgrading. The frame also has a channel milled so you can feed the LPR hose into the pneumatics instead of modifying your rail if you went with an external LPR. A lot of thought has been put into this frame to make your Mag perform like an electro on the field.

                            The home made conversions do not come close to the performance that this frame will give your mag.

                            Please don't factor in the other support upgrades we are producing to inflate the the final costs in comparison to a "USED" emag lowers. The additional upgrade items are low volume and being produced for the special requests. Airsmiths on AO forums in the past have charged mag owners up to $160 plus a frame to do the pneu conversions. That's more than our production frames. I am sure that the same airsmiths on this forum can now offer tapping and drilling services to keep the conversion costs down. LPRs out there now start around $20 that will work fine. If you use a vetical reg, then you eliminated the tapping costs.

                            If you are bent on having a "sleeper" then it will cost more for sure.

                            I also think Mag owners are very bright people that love to tinker. Installing this frame is much easier than tuning the level 10.

                            Garf

                            PS, Ruler_Mark.... are people actually asking for a complete built pneu mag or just the frame?? If they want a full turnkey Mag, the I suggest that they contact AGD with that request.

                              Guys this is the production Pneuframe we have been dreaming of since 2004, when that DW hairframe vid hit the net. It is here...go order one.I ordered the full kit. Its a great deal. Garth thanks again for making this a reality, I hope you sell out!

                              Garth any ETA update? everything on track? Pics of the production frame? THANKS!

                                Yeah, I already did my own cost benefit analysis. I love to tinker, but I can see a LOT of thought went in to this thing. Mine is on order, can't wait!!!
