Not to detract from the great news that production is coming stateside--any potential price changes due to production probably being more expensive in the US? Eg--buy em now

I would be surprised if the price increases more that 5-10%. At that point, they would pretty much price themselves out of the market. Edguns are great, but with too much more on top of what they go for now, there are equal to better options. I have an Edgun, and I like it fine enough, but for $2k plus, I would buy something else. If Edgun continues to improve as they are doing, then perhaps an increase is warranted, but not for the current models.
Also, Ed is a good salesman. The video of him running over his design is a bit misleading. The ground was noticeably soft. I think that other brands (exception being FX) would have had similar results. I picked up a few Brococks this month and they are as robust as my Edgun is, but you won’t find me intentionally running them over
. A more interesting video would be watching him do it all over again on asphalt or concrete.top

Well, being manufactured in the US is good news all around. Good on you Brian and congrats.

That’s great news. Granted assembled here isn’t really made here but it’s a good start. Hope Edgun escape the new North Korea and find a place to settle and be free. Best of luck to you Brian and Edgun! Eventually I’ll talk myself into one. LOL

And so, nobody has repeated that even on the "soft" soil. That is the fact. The rest is the speculation
I never ever said that my guns are the best in the world and, in fact I really make them for the fun, not for the getting money, though money is a good tool to develope the ideas. Thus manufacturing in USA is just another step to make more guns and get more fun of making them and selling them. Just enjoy it if you think it worths it or don't pay attention to it if you think there are plenty of others guns which would sjuits you better. Upvote 0
Soft ground or not. I don't see anyone else doing these tests on airguns except for Dana/Mountain Sport Airguns.

Is edgun ever going to make anything other than a Leshiy 2 anymore, seems to have discontinued all other models.

Ed has hinted that there are new projects being done. He won't let them be known though until dealers have them. Has me wondering about this new shipment maybe having something new???
