The New Black Magic

The 2005 WGP Black MagicWGP 2005 Black Magic

WGP has just released their new 2005 version of the Black Magic. One of the main and most prominent feature of this newest version is the removal of the back block from the marker. Instead of having the pumping rod go all the way to the back block, the new rod just goes as far as it needs too and then connects to the bolt directly. This reduces unnecessary weight from the black block and makes the cycling more efficient, possibly reduces the marker's kick. It also makes the marker more compact. Other new features are a vertical ASA and a new trigger frame. The WGP 05 Black Magic should be available in stores in 2005 summer. The retail price should be around $750. Here is a list of the marker's specs:
