Edgar Brothers & Magpul PTS Conduct UK Workshop

OptimusPrime

Edgar Brothers have a long standing relationship with Magpul, so it was a natural progression for thhem  to work with Magpul PTS, and in April 2010 they signed the exclusive distribution deal with Magpul PTS investing heavily into the full line of guns and accessories and working closely with RoHS to ensure that all products were UK compliant.

Derek Edgar, Edgar Brothers Managing Director explains, “In September 2010 the Magpul PTS Masada was launched into the UK market. The most important thing was making sure that we had great availability whilst providing our retailers with sales and product knowledge support. Our Airsoft Team travels the country supporting the retailers and meeting end users, getting valuable feedback which we then pass back to retailers and most importantly the manufacturers.”

Edgar Brothers recently hosted an airsoft open day last 03 August 2010 to give retailers access to the manufacturers directly with Alex Ko and Sam Lam from Magpul PTS. The retailers were given workshops on how to provide even better technical support to their customers in case issues with their Magpul PTS airsoft products arise.

Carl explains, “It’s the first time that an airsoft manufacturer has visited the UK and taken a workshop aimed at training the retailers on all the Magpul PTS products available. Over 50 retailers attended the day from all corners of the UK including registered firearms dealers. The event was rounded off with an evening airsoft skirmish at the brilliant Anzio camp in Leek, co-ordinated by First & Only Airsoft. I want to take this opportunity to pass on a big thanks to all the retailers that attended, everyone joined in and made the event a day to remember”.

Edgar Brothers plan to expand their product line in 2011/12 with Magpul PTS, including the new M4 - due out before the end of this year. This gun has a new barrel system that incorporates the hop up unit in one complete barrel unit and is similar to the barrel on the Masada. In addition to this Edgar Brothers will also launch a new pistol line, as well as products from King Arms, BB's and batteries. Airsofters who live and love the extreme should watch this space.
