I haven't seen the knock off. I only have the original $150 dollar one. It's amazing!
You didn't ask for an opinion, or for a guilt trip, just a link, here you go:

Thanks for the link, But you can not buy this product, Someone has had it blocked from the USA....
I am not going to say what I think about that, But someone is having them shipped in with a huge markup..
The gentleman did tell me that it could only be sent to one dealer in the USA,,,,

Take a screenshot and print it. It would make a lot of people hold their tongue. There is no honor in letting a U.S. guy gouge you when he is just buying the product from the same source, and it's not an actual made in the U.S. of A product. I can shop for my own Chinese stuff, I don't need a middleman.
FYI, I just went there and ordered two just to see if I could, and I did.
Worked for me.

What ticks me off about this is that it is normal for people to pay four times the price of wholesale. So wholesale price for this, if that is even what it was, $26, distributor buys and sells to retailer (let's round original to $25) for $50, retailer sells to us for $100. If someone in the U.S. was making these, it would certainly cost $150 and you could easily justify the price, for a lot of reasons. To be charging for this, six times the amount of a Chinese wholesale price, when it isn't made local, or to any standard that we can even check on, is absurd and why I won't lose any sleep over buying them. And yeah, they won't be as good as American made, and they could cause my death, and that's a chance I'm willing to take. I certainly would never pay a full pop American price for something that I don't even feel I need, but maybe that would change if I use this cheap one for a while and like it, and knew the expensive one was actually American made to a higher standard. I don't mind paying through the nose for a good product, that's why I bought a AAA Paradigm eventually, but I bought a lot of Chinese airguns first.

Wouldn't be surprised if these things blew up when you try and put 300 bar through them. I would much rather spend the little extra and get the actual product that you KNOW works and is a quality product. Why would you take a chance on something that could seriously injure yourself or someone else?
Did you read post #6? They are literally buying the same product and rebadging it, I don't know that ANY are going to work. If I suddenly stop posting, you were right. From what I read, a lot of people were having problems with their "originals" too, could have been operator headspace, could have been just bad quality. I'll never know. Unless someone posts up pictures of these things being made in the USA, by a machinist shop, I won't believe that they are not all coming out of the same shop in China. I know one thing for sure, no business doesn't want to make money, and you don't make money purposely hurting customers. I'll take my chances, as I do with everything else, because 95% of everything is made in China.

Had issues with mine from EdGun right off the bat, but that was a simple fix to just adjust the set screw in the handle. Yes a lot comes from China anymore, but to take the word of some random person that is trying to sell a product seems fishy. I hope it does work out for you, but I would still stick with the original.
The handle and the body on the knock off is indeed different from the EdGun unit.... so no they are not the same unit. Looks like a knock off trying to be passed as the original.

Appreciate the concern, I will post how they work. I know that some guys that own both over on GTA said a while ago that they prefered their clones over the Edgun ones, so these have been out and being used for a while now. That's another reason that I'm not that worried about it.
What concerns me is the fill hose I just bought, a micro-bore with a long fill that uses brass and only 5 bb's and they are small. I know from what I have that there should be the 6 bigger bb's and stainless steel is preferable, though I do have a lot that are brass. Anyway I just went looking on the web for a large 6 bb SS female fill adapter, and all the ones that I have been looking at, from AOA, PyramydAir, and DonnyFL, and UA, are 5 bb brass. The only full SS one that I have found is the long fill one with the male foster fitting already on it, which I already have one of, to fill my Paradigm. So who sells the good fittings, if these big players don't? I hate ordering from Best Fittings because the shipping is ridiculous.

One guy says one thing and another says something else,,, I;ll post pictures and all when I get my knock off...
No names here but about 5 years ago I had a Bipod about 300 bucks , I put it on each gun I was shooting at the time maybe five guns ,, A cheap knock off came on line for 25 bucks , I bought one , It was so close to the original one that I sold the 300 dollar unit for 200 bucks and I have eight bipod knock offs on eight of my guns ,,, Yes I am a cheap as-s

I remember reading posts about these on AGN with comparison pics when I considered buying one. The comparison pics showed differences and it honestly seemed that people with “originals” or knockoffs” were both having problems. From everything I read there and other places, the knockoffs seemed to be even worse. I never could bring myself to try one.
On some of the knock offs the fill pressure lever is plastic and one reviewer said the handle snapped due to the 4500 psi on his first fill. I've got the real one but i ordered the knock off to do some testing to see for ourselves about it's safety and durability.
I believe ALL of these things are knockoffs, meaning, they are all made in China. Yes, I am aware that some may be total garbage too, but these devices are not so common that everybody would want to get into cloning them either. They have been selling them for quite a while now, and I have read about them on several forums and I haven't heard about anybody gettting hurt yet, and news travels fast around here. I am done talking about this until I try them out myself.
