    AGD Product Update

    AO,

    I know you have all been waiting to find out what's going on with the new bodies so here is the update.

    FIRST! Please do NOT call the office and ask for info on the bodies. We are getting 20 calls a day and its bogging things down trying to deal with them. The girls in the office get this identical info when you do because I email this post to them. They have no more information than you do.

    The ULE bodies are finished machining but did not go out to the anodizer last week as planned. Instead we sent out several samples to be anoed to make sure they would come out right. The samples came back this week and look great.

    Additionally we delayed getting the ULE bodies anodized because we were able to get the next batch of Xvalves ready for ano this week too. We figured it would be smart to send the bodies and the colored xvalves out in the same batch so everything would match as close as possible. So coming next week (lets hope) are colored ULE bodies and colored Xvalves. I have pictures of the colored bodies now but I will wait until we open for orders to post them. We are getting the following colors:
    Black, red, blue, green, purple and pewter. NO prices yet.

    The SLUG bodies are in the final operation now and will be here tomorrow or friday. We are still waiting on the hardened washers that are also supposed to be here this week too. The new bodies are GIANTS with the extension over the valve. I have attached a pic below. These should be available to buy next week since there is no further processing. Again NO prices yet but best case they could go on sale end of the week.

    The last of the Xmags shipped today. We had a couple rejected for ano, someone will be disappointed.

    The second batch of xmags is delayed because we found tolerance errors in the body and they have to be tweeked.

    R&D is currently working on a no bounce on/off assembly to comply with NPPL rules.

    I will try and answer questions here.

    AGD

    Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

    Not to be a smart ars...but wheres the pic?

    Also...just out of curiousity...what happens to the messed up X bodies ? Can they be re-annoed? If not...is there any reason to wait years to pull them out of the atic for a sale? Heck, put them up now...i know there will be plenty of people that wont mind a little flaw in the ano.

    I think I'm gonna pick up a Pewter ULE body. Think that would look cool on a black E-mag.

    A little off-topic, but what's the status on the Y-grips? Also, where can we pre-order them and for how much? I'm in the market for 2 of them...

    Thanks,

    Sorry no warp SLUGGOS.

    Well they are not polished but they are kind of a glossy colored finish. You will like them.

    AGD, I have 5 of the new sluggos on backorder through xtreme paintball in Mobile. I already have a supply of washers and retaining clips so feel free to send mine out early without them.

    Nice! I can't wait to see what people make out of those... Can we get a pic with one on an Emag?

    On another unrelated topic, if an Emag Totin' Magger were to order an XValve, could we request EMaX engraving on the side?
