Ban or not Ban on Mutant Attack
I never saw until now an airgun dealer participates so vigorously in a forum to bashing and attack certain brand of gun. From this, the motivation and intention are very clear. He was banned a few years ago. I didn’t follow the story fully because I was really tired of his unreasonable criticisms and bashings, but remembered vividly his threatening toward Ed by flooding with Chinese made Edgun. First, I sympathize with him that his Edgun bolt might have some defects (I don’t understand what he was talking about, but remembered his angry face and loud voices pointing to the bolt) but not get serviced by the local dealer. Then he viciously attacked the Edgun and put up numerous videos to bashing the gun and the local dealer. But somehow, Ed sent him a new bolt and he apologized to Ed in his video in public with his brother’s English translation and then somehow he became an airgun dealer in his country, fanatically promoting and bashing some other brand of guns. Please correct me if my memory is incorrect.
I have both Edgun and the Mutant that the guns he hates the most since he is a dealer for other bullpups. I don’t see anything wrong in my guns on what he pointed out in his videos. Many end users in the States do not have his bad experience on those guns, although some small glitches may occur like every other product through manufacture processes. He might get substandard parts from some other countries and start his attack. I have seen many “unofficial” parts, including barrels, that are available in China for Edgun, KalibrGun, FX, AF and many others, and of course, the Mutant is not immune. Or the manufactures may use some substandard parts and sell it cheap to other countries if the dealer or importer wants to cut the price. The existence of different “Mutant Strains” may be true for this purpose. Corolla and Avalon are cars at different categories but made by the same company. If I want to buy Toyota car with 170K, they will bring me to see Corolla, but not Avalon. I don’t know… The “parts” are so easy to get nowadays as long as you know where to get them. You can get an “Atlas” bipod from China for $40-45 (something like that), of course it is substandard, but functional. When he attacked Edgun, he said he will invest $ in China to bring down Edgun by flooding Ed with fake Edguns. So he must have some connections with Chinese factories for this purpose…who knows, although it is a logical speculation.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. If he is complaining on the quality of the Mutant as he has already expressed in many previous posts, with the consideration of many of us who own the gun and don’t have the same experience of his and disagree with him, then he should move on or go to Ukrainian forum or his own forum to bitch about it and/or to the manufacturer, but not here in the TAG. Why he always stirs up TAG and AGN but not Yellow or other forums? Simply because these two sites are the most visit sites for the bullpups, which certainly can influence his business in his country based on the popularity of the Mutant in the States. So, his intension and motivation are very clear to me. Many Mutant owners, including me, are happy with her performance and accuracy, with some negative impact from the recent “Barrel Gate,” who cares about whom and where the gun/part were made. The fact is the machining of the Mutant is superb.
I think we should end this drama, or let it continue, with the wisdom from Walk. He banned him before and certainly can do it again. But I would like to propose a vote here to see if we should ban him PERMANENTLY with no mistake, by simply setting up a poll with some simple clicks by Walk. What do you think?
He may call me racist, but it is okay, since my wife also says the same to me because I like certain breed of dogs and cats but not others, if this is the same case.

It was all a bit interesting to me. Anyone with any sense could see what his motives were. It was becoming desperate. I would actually say he did some good for the Mutant. His pathetic attempts to discredit actually looked like a panic reaction to save his sales from heading over to the competition. Even on AGN, the generally feeling I was getting lately is that he was looking like a clown.
