TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Damn, that is kick-ass. Any chance one would be available for a demo in the next 2 weeks? I have a Tromix SBS going to a gun writer for Small Arms Review magazine at the end of the month. It would definately get in the magazine article. FWIW, Halo Mfg is providing a four rail forend for the demo unit as well. Do you have springs? If not, I could pull one out of one of my 8 rounders.

epsylum 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Damn, that is kick-ass. That pretty much sums it up. Tony, what magazine is your gun going to be in? I want to pick up a copy when it comes out. Edited November 17, 2005 by epsylum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caspian 32 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Very nice indeed. I hope clear is an option, i like that idea. Tony, who did you end up going with to write the article? caspian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TacticalResponse 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Someone that does not belong to this forum may also have a last round bolt hold open ready for the S 12 by the time Z1500 has these mags on the market. Now that would really make for a nice combo. Anyone's money burning a hole in their pocket yet? Honey, where's all of our money? Ah, Well, see @#$^%%$%@##^ It was little shottys birthday.

RDSWriter 5 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 That is not a $600 magazine. It's more like a $50,000 mag... because you're going to make a mint off that item. Ten rounds, clear body to see round count, and three US compliance parts. Oh yeah!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z1500 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 This is a SLA (Stereolithography google it) part. It's kind of fragile cause it's pretty much just made out of glue. I may try and shoot with it this weekend and hope it doesn't break. The production injected molded parts will be avalible in a couple colors (yellow less leathal, orange training)and an opaque like this sample. Tony- I'll send you a PM about using the mag.

gunboy69 50 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 It looks like between Z1500, and the others we will have mags coming out of our asses pretty soon! I am gonna destroy a credit card over this! Great work Z! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I imagine you could reinforce the body with fiberglass to keep it together for testing, at least up to the mag well. This is really, really, fantasic progress. I'm impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tec Nine 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 You are the wind beneath my wings....I'll be all over some opaque mags....especially if you can get them a bit more tinted with black or OD. It'd be cool if they were opaque, but still had some color to them. take care, Tec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Integratedj 1 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 You know damn well I'll be supporting the local AZ guy on these. As soon as you get them going I'll drive right over to you for a couple. Looks great so far man, I can't wait for a finished product. You are going to do Black as well right?

Z1500 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 99% of them will be black with an ocaisional run of a different color. The first run will be black and that will be all we'll sell for a little while. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mopeman 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 WOW!!! Those are awsome! Will we be able to pre-order? If so, I would like to get on the list and prepay so they will be here(home) when I get back from A-stan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first run will be black and that will be all we'll sell for a little while. Kevin Do they HAVE to be black for production purposes or could you do a "smoke" opaque mag so we could see how many rounds we have ? I would be interested in some opaques!

Z1500 0 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Physical shop yes =see www.agpturbo.com Not taking any pre-orders right now. We'll have them ready when you get back. The first run will be black because it is the strongest and I'm sure it's what most people want. Opaques and colors will be in the second run after we sell enough of the blacks to make this whole thing worth while. I need to sell 500 of them out right away to start getting some money back out of this project. Kevin BTW can you guys see the 18rd monopod potential here:) For you DIY guys who have mad epoxy skillz. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6500rpm 670 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Definately looks like a quality job- A+ Kevin. Pretty cool to see things moving along on both yours and Ian's projects-two different aproaches to the same thing. Timing is also good with the number of new s12's that sounds like are just about to hit our shores. One of you Team Saiga guys should pick a side and check into sponsorship. Win/Win situation as it sounds like your already out there promoting the s12's and shoot enough to actually justify helping with R&D and possibly some "at range' promo stuff. I think the board alone could move 500 mags pretty quick, but still wouldn't hurt to put it out there and get that Brand Name thing happening. The team I played for in paintball days had a lot of lucritive sponsorship deals, while everyone else was out there with the "we'll win tourneyments for you" (usually only a limited amount of $$$ available to sponsor tourney teams), we tapped into advertising $$$ accounts as a promotional team (grow the sport, get the sponsors product names out there, run/ref tourneys and novice tourneys to get more people in the sport buying products, and last, gave away a limited number of sponsors products so the winners would end up using our sponsors stuff and most likely buy more. Actually be pretty cool to have two teams out there sporting the Saiga name at shoots and getting er done. Anyway, good luck, I think you've got a winner.....decided on a name yet?
