Production of EDguns in USA
I think time comes up to think seriously about it. So I am looking for the production facilities in USA (CNC machines, anodizing etc.) So all the offers are welcome to discuss. Can send me information to PM.
With the best regards
Ed

Ed, I REALLY hope that you can come up with someplace to make the parts in the US!
You might want to think about having the special alum alloy air tube done in Russia and then have it sent to the US.
If you can get the parts made here and you need to have them assembled; please add me to your list of assemblers!
I would lovingly assemble and tune every one of them and then send them to Tony for him to sell!
Seriously!
I just touched the business culture gaps between East Europe (manufacturers) and USA. I understand you want to correct that UK does not belong to East Europe, and US domestic manufacturers are not from East Europe. The past bitter facts of East Europe companies do not change, but may change in the future.
Geezus– Let’s encourage the man. Lawsuits? Litigation? Consumer Protection Laws? We have one Brit discouraging right off the cricket bat. But one Belgian congratulating– good. USA residents (we are an optimistic people)– let’s support Ed with what he asked for– positive ideas: location (towns, cities, states); machining equipment sources. Let’s encourage and inform on production matters and issues so he can build his factory.
Good luck !
Hmmm, perhaps you should take a look at the number of FIREARM manufacturers in the USA. Talk about high liability right? Yet there are hundreds if not thousands of small, medium to large rifle and handgun manufacturers in the states and if what you are saying is true then there should be tens of thousands of lawsuits and firearm companies going out of business right and left…? But there isn’t…
There are a few high end air rifle manufacturer in the USA that do not experience this thing you present as fact.
Airforce appears to be doing just fine and lawsuit free, so do quite a few others. Then there is Mac1 who makes one of the best FT target rifles based on LD’s Simple Simon design. Rapid Air Weapons just started producing (what is looking like) some of the best competition air rifles in the world in good ol Tennessee… Which would be half of the UK based Theoben I believe, hmm, looks more and more like your talking straight out your…
I wonder how many British stereotypes I can list before I get sick of typing… 🙄
Congratz Ed!!
Hopefully you start a Morana factory in Belgium!! 🙂
Dealing with the US liability law, tort law, and consumer protection laws (risk management) seem to be hard to do business in the US, especially for East European manufacturers. I may use the words “business culture gaps”. Due to the absolute fear of the liabilities in the U.S. consumer marketplace, some of parties/individuals are intentionally opening some sort of liability lawsuits for financial gain. Unlike Asian countries, it is culturally very acceptable to even suggest a lawsuit. That’s the unfortunate image the typical U.S. consumer presents to those from outsiders. This seems to be the main reason to change US manufacturers to be US trading firms to minimize liability risks. Otherwise, you may enjoy the US business.
Good luck !
That is a very great news Ed.. I hope it will happen soonest…in time when I am able to place my order.

Parts from China and Mexico? It really blows that it has to come down to this but I really don’t have a problem waiting as Edguns trickle in. I love that the gun is rare, great quality and user friendly when it comes to maintenance. The feeling of knowing one gun smith has (and a good one at that) completed QC personally makes me feel dam good then to run off a production line just to keep up with the demand. Please don’t flame me for speaking my mind all I’m saying is when shits mass produced quality drops and I’d hate to see that in the Edgun.
I’ll wait another year if I have to receive a top notch gun rather then next week and have issues. Sorry for being a quality whore 🙂
