Q:

Ugly Babies don’t cry

Wow just showed up at my door the Uncle :hoot: is my favorite!

Pro’s:
Small, light, comes with single tray, very easy to load mags, smooth as butter indexing, accurate as hell, powerful, groups up well and finally it is quiet as a mouse fart. This is everything I really want in my guns out of the box. YES HOME RUN

Cons:
Not as ugly as I thought but not a pretty gun in any sense also there are all kinds of quality or finish details or workmen-ship that the folks at the manufacturer let slip by. Markings on the metal like water spots, scratches and white grayish discoloration on the rubber butt end. All my other bull pups came in aesthetically mint state. Which I expected.

The gun shoots like a 1400.00 pup however the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired. It will be easy to fall in love with this little Ugly Baby it is the JAM. Out of the current flock of PCP’s this will become the go too back yard bitch slapper and neighborhood tool of havoc.

For $1450.00 I expect more in the workmanship finish category however everything else is dead on. It is a Keeper. I will ask the manufacture to send me a few mags on the house to make up for poor finish quality.

I will definitely check with Tony about the QC in the upcoming shipment and request an inspection of the gun before I commit to the purchase. I consider the Edgun a benchmark for QC.

Oak it looks like you have medium rings on there, are they high enough to get a comfortable cheek weld ? I had to run highs on my Cricket with a 1″ tube and mediums for 30mm tubes.
On the QC issues are they really that bad ? Usually the ones that get through like that are stripped for parts and such or sent back for exchange on the bad pieces. Maybe because demand was so high on the first shipment and there wasn’t any problem Mutants needing replacement parts it got through ?, I’m sure if it really bothers you that much it could be exchanged for a cleaner one on the next shipment in about three weeks.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Jealous of me hoarding my nutz are we Greg.

quote oakey631:

I had the baby orginally on order with TT then got spooked because of possible accuracy issues and the barrel maker changed and no one could tell me who the barrel manufacture was and canceled it. Tony sold that one off the next day. So after Fox bought one and was raving about it. I started wondering if I made the wrong move and searched around for who might have one still in stock. I bought the last one R&L had. I never dealt with them before. Had the gun in two days after ordering.

Randy is a straight up guy, a great one to deal with in my book !!!

So people are getting $1500.00 guns with a bunch of factory flaws? This is something that those who import these guns should address with the manufacturer and demand better QC or not sell there goods. I put down a deposit on one but if QC is lacking, I will retract my purchase. My respects to Edgun for his product. :2cents:

Oak,

I love the scope. Your set up is proportional. :8:

Nice congrats :party: Who did you score the Shorty from ? Mines is due midweek. :whistle:

I think it looks very nice. I prefer it over the crickets and Vulcans.

I agree with GKU. A matte finish would be it.

The stock does not look bad either. A little time refinishing it would be worth it to smooth out the rough, grainy texture of the wood. At least that is how it appears from the pics.

I want one bad. Maybe in the near future Christmas tree

:rofl: so you bit the bullet, I mean pellet and got one !

Gee, I was wondering if you’re going to get one, nut collector !! 😆

Post some chrony numbers and some target punching will ya.

I notice on mines that the anodized finish quality on the LDC is a bit different than the rest of the gun, I would have also preferred a mat finish instead of a glossily one.

NICE SHORTY BY THE WAY !

Oh yea,
she looks nice.

The shroud is doing a great job too.
As quite as that gun is with a 11 inch barrel on her.

Its nice, no ping, no hammer slap, just the pellet hitting the target!

Bet it makes a nice sound when the pellet hits, a crow too! :rofl:

No way…..
you got one oak! :8:
mine never came with a single tray.
but thats ok i like using the mags.

you can adjust your trigger nice & light, with the first 2 set screws, the others have lock- tight on them. what color stock u get? 🙄
post a pic of her soon! :mrgreen:
