    What's the reasoning behind not using a SHP with a POPS?

    I use a SHP with my POPS, and I've never encountered any issues.

    +1. Same here.

    I hope they're not using ION threading with Angel threads. They're close, but certainly not the same. we'll definitely see some cross-threading issues if they stick with ION threads.

    Correct. They're actually ION threaded.

    The pops are recommended for low pressure input for ease of engagement. The v2 regs are also tougher to engage than regular valves due to volume. Even at lower pressures. Overall though I don't think the pops has a technical reason to not use with shp.

    They thread right onto a ULE.

    Ion threaded, I'm telling you they thread right onto a ULE.

    Sometimes I wonder about this crowd......

    The only aftermarket feed neck (stump) I have is from Q-Loader. They were also under the impression that Ion was the same as Angel. I can tell you that thing does not fit right... I have to use liberal amounts of Loctite to keep it in there. Yes, I resort to really horrid tactics like glue and loctite because I have no other means available to me. As I've said -- if a manufacturer resorts to crap like that, beware.

    What something is called, what something actually is, and what something works/fits with are literally three different things when it comes to paintball. Literally.

    You might call a really sloppy Ion thread "angel threaded" and it might also be suitably compatible with a ULE body.
    "Accuracy by aiming."


    Definitely not on the A-Team.

    Tuna, do you expect to be selling any of these as complete markers?

    Ion threads are not the same as Angel threads, likewise Ion threads are not the same as ICD threads. Now you might get lucky and the one you have threads in fine, some loose, some not at all. But realistically, they do not work and will only damaged the threads of the body.

    No one has said they are the same.

    I have a ULE, Tac One, and XMT Classic RT body, Ion threaded feednecks that I own screw on with zero resistance.

    AGD should reach out to Luke for the ULE to PE feedneck adapter or use his feedneck and add a lever...keep the design in the community.

    The CP Ion feednecks seem to work for some, and not for others, does that really sound like something you'd want AGD to put their name behind? The mm2k9 worked for some, and not for others, look what happened to PTP in the eyes of the community. I'd personally not want AGD to run into that little issue, especially when it seems they're trying to get back in the market a little.

    guess no one read where sandman commented on facebook where he is reaching out to people about the threads. im sure he will post something when the time comes, since he knows we are concerned about it.

    Has stated it will not have valves to match. Sad. Would be so much nicer with them.

    I am fairly certain Mario can match his own anodizing if you send him the parts you want matched, along with the parts he's already done.

    I think they'd look good like that. Personal opinion though.

    I still don't understand the fascination with the fugly PE feedneck. Then again I am generally not a fan of anything PE makes, aesthetically speaking (I'm told it's good quality).

    Glad to see AGD back at it, although I'd have to throw that feedneck in the trash off the bat and mount a CCM.

    Its actually an Empire feedneck, but dont hold back, tell us how you really feel.

    The main point is they are readily available, unless GI Sportz decides to can them.

    And they do have the lever clamp which is a positive, but they are ginormous.....

    Why, dear god why, would AGD step back into the market without a unified rail system?

    They used parts that they had on hand. Simple as that. Updating the feedneck & offering an anno, are worthy choices to come back.into the game, as it were.

    Making all new parts is an expensive endeavour.

    They are not huge by any means. Adjust your eye glass prescription

    Seems that with a drill press and a template it wouldn't be too hard to put threading through the rail/frame so they could be screwed together, and then another thread for the sear.

    They are gigantic , you need to stop looking thru Simons glasses.

    And I dont wear prescription glasses any more, only readers.

    I use a Sanchez Machine on my CCM feedneck. Works like a champ, longer lever that's easy to use and not "bulky".
