Ohhhh Ed, you make me laugh. Your critics say that "you are Russian so you have to make videos in Russian for Russians by Russians" … and while I fully understand nationalism, they must understand that you are a businessman with customers and clients all over the world. You make these guns for ALL people to have a little enjoyment in their life no matter what ethnic background or language or history or other differences our countries and goverments engage in. We are not our goverments, we are people and I know that Russians are pretty much the same as we are. I have 3 Russian families living within a quarter mile of where I live at and they are some of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting … Max, Anton and Sasha … they are absolutely great people and my admiration for them is immense. They are people of the land ... earthy, uncomplicated, easy to understand, traditional values, warm, happy to be alive and count their blessings every day. Some day I hope that we can get over the troubles that goverments cause for all of us, because wherever you go people are people … they come in all shapes and sizes and all manner of character.
There will always be people who will love to tell you how you can make your guns better and maybe someday you will run into someone that has some credible information that might just make your gun better, it is good to listen and keep an open mind … but in the end, it is YOUR name that goes on every gun that leaves your factory and it is you who must answer for every modification on it as to whether it was good or bad. I guess that is why it is so important to listen, but to also verify that the information you get actually does what it is supposed to do. Your explanation of the new sleeve is a perfect example.
Again, thank you for an excellent product and a wonderful creative mind. I would like to ask you for one thing though. You once made a video of you exercising and doing what we call chin-ups on a bar. Please don't do that again … I thought you would stop after 10, then I thought you would stop after 20 … but nooooooooooo, you had to go past 30 and all the way to 35 chin-ups. I said to myself, if Ed can do that then I can do that ... so I went outside and started doing chin-ups and knocked out my front tooth trying to get over the bar ...and it's ALL YOUR FAULT! Hahahaha … have a good life my friend and never stop improving!
