Perhaps he is referring to the rumored takeover of the Angel brand by a non UK company?Mario said:
*edit* I beleive Planet use another well known company to handle a lot of the milling for the Ego, based in Aldershot.

ah diving into the political side of the sport... s*d that! the gun looks good, shoots good. not really anything more you need in a marker, is there. unless it makes the dinner for you as well...
From what i have heard, Angel Techs have been sworn to secrecy over the manufacture of the Angel1.
From what I have gathered, a large amount of the machining is done abroad (alegedly in the far east). The new design for the bolt is intresting because if it's been molded instead of machined, an expensive process unless you have larger facilities available. I'd assume they are put together in the UK but i'm not sure and i doubt you'll get an answer from anyone official

There have always been Angel parts that are produced overseas, and that's never been hidden - just look at the 14-way, for example, WDP have frequently publically said that it's Japanese. And there hasn't been any word of mass redundancies at WDP that I've heard, so one can only assume that their production staff are still being gainfully employed.
Besides which, if it really does bother anybody enough, all they need to do is ask them! What's the worst that can happen? They can say 'No comment'. (Well, unless they're actually part of some evil conspiracy and they send a hit squad of squirrel assassins to choke you to death with an acorn)

I don't really care where it is made. Yes i do have some patriotic pride but this marker is really top spec (arguably higher out-the-box spec than any other gun) and is also extremely good value compared to the competition.
Now if this can be done by using a more facilities abroad then i'm all for it. As long as the built quality and quality of materials is maintained. And fromwhat i've discussed with certain people, the build quality exceeds everything else on the market.
From what i have discussed with certain people involved with the marker, it does seem like there is a bit of a cover up over the manufacturer of them.
