Mikes reg is truly cool, but, it isnt foolproof. Over time the orings will leak and the reg will lock up due to high pressure in the spring chamber. For one of us that would be no big deal. You pull it out of the tank, take the reg apart and bleed the chamber. Then just put it all back together with fresh rings.
For Airforce this would be a customer service nightmare. They already freak if we pull the valves out of the tank and most guys couldnt do it on their own anyway.
Thats the main reason I say it will be an external reg. With the smaller tank they have room to put it on the outside and it makes it easier for everyone especially themselves.
Ill bet you its in line and not in tank.
I think there was just some discussion of this topic, and by all accounts, the Edge will have a regulator. Hoping it’s Mika Malo’s. That design was just plain elegant.
I think the question must be “Is there an integrated regulator on it?”
look at the red and blue guns, they are facing opposite directions and there is a bolt slot on both sides of the frame. looks like bolt handle is reversible/ambidexterous.
Hi,
Yes see it, but I’m a lazy boy.
Is there nobody with better contacts by airforce? need only a bar of raw aluminum, then I mill my own STRONG frame of it.
Will pay the price for a new frame.
Take a look at the Mod section about a year ago and you will see Marc and Bubba B making their own AF style guns from scratch.
You dont need for AF to sell you a blank.
Did contact AF , the Edge not for sale at the moment, only colors Red and Blue.

If they really wanted, they could just cut an opening in the same side as the bolt and leave the other side intact. You would only be able to load it from the right side but the bolt is right handed anyway. That would make the whole thing super solid.
That front sight really bothers me though. If it is a separate shroud it would only take a small bump to twist the tube to the left or right. There is a ton of leverage on that thing.
They could still leave a lot more material at the bottom of the breach in particular. Strange that they would go the extra trouble and time to remover what to me seem like too much metal in the weakest area. 😕 There is more than enough room there to load the breach as is.

So is that a separate shroud on the front with the front sight attached to it? I would hate to think they did it that way. The tube steps down in size so it almost appears like its a separate piece.
Is it also for sale like the colors of the T Ford,
Black , black , and Black???
Then a order one frame for my Hunting rig.
If you listen to the “people who know” there is no flex/ridgidity problem with the talon or condor, but anyone else notice how much beefier the breech area of the frame is????? 😕 😕 😕
i suppose that is just coincidence 🙄 🙄
I’m glad it comes in more colours than Pink.. Sorry, I mean “red”…
