    MQ Valve to be made again... comback for the Aedes?

    So there's multipage thread over on PBN about a resurgance of the MQ Valve and it being produced by the originators and not by PBX (as they've dissapeared). It seems legit and the guys making it were in on the original MQ and they are working out the legalities of it currently.

    Anyways, if the MQ comes back to market and a reliable source is found, does this mean that DW could finally come out with the Aedes? That would make me smile.

    Well that puts my cyborg plans on the fence again. I had my eyes on the aedes when it was in dev.

      I wouldn't wait on the aedes. Even if the valves are reproduced it would take a large order to make a mq based gun. So far it doesn't sound like they would be making the new valves in large quantities. I would like to have an aedes too, but it may be a while.

              Seeing as how the creaters of the MQ valve are the ones in the thread who are saying they will be making it again... I'd say it stands a chance at being made.

                  MQ is Mike Quinn, the inventor. Mel Maravilla was the owner of PBX.

                    The only problem I forsee...

                    Isn't the patent under Mel's name and NPS?

                    Or am I just imagining that...

                        The names are Mel, Kerry Johnson, and Mike Quinn. NPS is listed as the assignee.

                          Thanks for clearing that up.

                            Well If Mike Quinn said he can produce it you can bet it will be done.
                            Him and Kerry johnson will be making them personally so there will be no quality issues.
                            Mel has nothing to do with the patent.
                            National has the say so and it seems they are behind the project as well.
                            I heard they have made some updates in it to make it even better.
                            So if DW wants to do the Aedes than the mq valve wont be the thing holding him back.
                            That may rest with Smart parts.

                              SP wouldn't go for a small company like DW yet. SP will wait for DW to be larger and worth the litigation. For example, Alien paintball just signed with SP this past january ecause as they steadily grew they became worth more. I'm willing to bet DW could make 500-700 guns before SP even raised an eyebrow.
