You can find older guns pretty cheap these days. It's always a good idea to own a pump for those times you want to bring someone new out to play. That way they can use your gear and you can mix with the rec crowd using a pump.

AGD has ceased to evolve the mag beyond the ULE parts though. After the lawsuits and court battles AGD was sadly never the same imo.

I don't think AGD was ever involved in any lawsuits or court battles.

I agree they stopped creating new stuff, but they didn't abandon people and leave them with markers that couldn't be fixed because no one had parts. In all fairness, they had been behind the curve for quite some time and its why they had already lost so much market share. I payed competitively with an AGD RT long after many people had switched to lighter, faster electronic markers with anti-chop devices built in, but I knew I was at a disadvantage.

I played as much as possible either borrowing or renting until I picked up my first marker (a Spyder E99) which I still have. Nowadays I shoot a red with white parts Ego 8 and I still try to play as much as possible. Unfortunately for paintball work, family, and kids try to say otherwise. I first became a Moderator here in November 2007 and look forward to many more years. For my day job I sell batteries. Not very interesting, but it funds my habit

And for Dan - I wear PbN Limited Edition boxers

WHAT.THE.BUCK.

heh...i'm surprised i didn't see this thread. oh wait, it's probably cuz i've been obsessively looking for another cocker body all over the dang internet

anyways, i love this website. i've always wanted to be a mod just so i can have the distinct pleasure of ban-hammering people who use the '1st amendment' excuse and run their mouth, err...keyboard while they post HERE. that's almost like talking smack to your parents while you ask them to borrow the car

reid18 · 02-27-2009, 02:55 PM

Legitimately one of the most interesting threads on PbN. I've always wanted to know a little more about you guys, and I knew at least one of you had to be uber smart.

Yeah, this thread was a long time overdue. We have some of the best people I know moderating this site and they do a great job. And the smart one would be Kyle.

Don't flatter yourself.

I've had lots of trade and cash offers on the RT but I'm keeping it. I like playing with it still. There's even a pic of me in the most recent Jungle using it at the last Castle Conquest.

eh...something that won't bore me like an S6 would. i mean, those are great guns don't get me wrong, but they don't have the personality like an evolution or a freeflow boxer does. not that i'm looking to turn a westwood into a pump either lol. i can't seem to find a good custom shop that would mill and ano to user spec.

**John** · 03-01-2009, 10:38 AM

Yeah, I wouldn't turn my Evolution into a pump, it is staying all stock. But if I ever got another one, it is fair game. A friend just picked up an Evo-X to make into a pump and he is already talking about milling it.

Kyle just got a Freeflow.

jazz1 · 03-01-2009, 10:59 AM

got me an evo recently also. just waiting for the ccm kit

i actually don't care for the eclipse hinge too much. if only finding a chromed or matching color belsales slider wasn't near impossible...

it's too bad all the new evo's that come from belsales are drilled. makes me want to cry. i keep telling myself not to get another evo, but who am i kidding...

**John** · 03-01-2009, 11:09 AM

Yeah, I'd take one with the newer adjustable feedtube but I certainly prefer my slider frame.

Get the front grip, barrel or stock pneumatics?

jazz1 · 03-01-2009, 07:47 PM

that evo of mine came as you see there. pretty much complete just no barrel. i sold the hinge it came with already, 'cuz i would never use it. i sold the stock aluminum bolt and got a delring belsales bolt instead. i still have the whole front assembly, but i'm selling/trading it. if i find a chromed slider trigger frame before it sells tho, i'm keeping that bad boy in semi. i was thinking of putting one of those new fully loaded shocktech trigger frames on it, but it looks like those only come in dust black...sigh
