Why no Matador multi-shot kits?
Seems like Ed keeps coming up with new guns but no multi-shot kits? I’m a hunter and would really like to have one. It would probably stop my quest for the perfect airgun.

I was thinking the same thing, but from the looks of the one I sent you which is the same as the one you have, it looked to be something other than aluminum, looked like a plastic of some sort! I am sure aluminum would work well for it just didn’t know for sure what yours was made out of. thanks!
I think it’s anodized aluminum. Delrin might work, but I’m not sure it would be as durable, and you would probably need to do the indexing differently as I think the delrin would wear quickly.
yep that is what I was reffering to sometimes I don’t word things just right! but yes detent with ball and maybe a spring? I wish I had a mill and had it set up I would play around with some hardwood for a prototype! Is yours made out ot delrin? I am guessing that delrin would make good material to use or aluminum 😯
Hmmm . . . It was a while back when I bought it; I think it was maybe $130, a bit expensive, but I’m happy with it.
It has nice fit and finish, and is well made. It is indexed, and while I haven’t taken it apart, I suspect what you are referring to is a ball detent.
What was the cost of that clip? the price I seen Mamcrackin paid is a bit high I thought but things like this take time to get made right time and material also figures in! thanks for letting me know, more detailed pictures and whatever you can do will help to! I have a lathe and getting a mill sorted out as of Monday so hopefully will get things set up and runing before to long!
Also how does your clip work? seem to be made well and funcion without any problems? not sure what that round piece is in the pictures I posted of the clip you have either, I am curious does in have a detent or something when indexed by hand that keeps it lined up with the breech bolt?
Yes, that’s the kind I have
Ok any help would be good I did some more looking and there are sevaral post on this subject here is an old post Mamcrackin posted last year! I am guessing you clip is like the one with the magnet he posted and if you go to the url he posted there are some better pictures of that particular clip! I have goggle translate the language to English but all the jpg pictures are there one is a pretty good close up of the clips with magnets I haven’t seen before, I am guessing maybe that is what you have? Not like the ones in the video JFK posted but looks to be held on the same way via magnet!

This is the one close up I am reffering to on the url above posted by Mamcrackin close up of the magnetic one he posted!

O.k. I have a busy week coming up, and then will be out of town for a while, but I’ll try to do some pics and measurements.
It did not require ant modifications to the Matador, but it did require some disassembly/reassembly to install it. Once installed, it’s just a matter of dropping in the clip, which is held in place magnetically.
I got it from Tony, who got it from a third party. Tony said that the guy disappeared, and he has not been able to find him.
Yes JFK that is the one I seen! looks like a good design 5 shots I counted which is fine with me! but like I said no mention of where it came from who he is and the comments are not available? I don’t quite understand why someone would go to the trouble of making a nice video and not have information to follow !! 😯 😯 And acourvil I did see some post on some members getting clips from Tony Mamcrackin is one I talked to quite often he had one and sold his gun, got back into radio controled air planes as he was into before at one time, great guy to talk to about air guns! Anyway if you get a chance send me some pictures of what you bought and if you think it is a good design send me what you can for measurments and photos so I can see what it will take to make some clips! the manual part is probably going to be the only way to build one without getting into a big mod on the gun itself, so that is not a problem and the only way to go on the Edgun. the vidoe JFK reffered me to was the one I have seen and that clip would be fine I wish the guy in the video put up some info on who made it? he did or somebody did!! I can’t belive there isin’t some money to be made if someone could come up with a nice clip like that one or similar! And the one you bought acourvil who was making it? and what happened to that production?? This is like I said several people would want, I would have to beleive!!
Aslo like Lee said did you have to modify the breech? that is something in my opinion to get away from, I think most people that have a Matador would just like to drop in a clip and go! like the one video simple and affective!
I posted this above meant to post it here watched this a couple weeks ago

I have one of the magnetic ones you are referring to, if it’s the one I think you are talking about. It’s manual, but a lot faster than having to put pellet in by hand. I believe those were made by a third party, and Tony got some and sold them to Matador owners, but then the supplier disappeared. If you want to try to make one, I could take some pictures and measure dimensions.

Eddie,
Is this the video you saw on youtube?
If you make we will buy it!!!

Lee you beat me to a post that has been on my mind for some time! I sent Tony a couple pm’s he said he would look into it and see what he could find out! I told him if he could get a print or something of what anybody was doing to modify or make a clip for the Matador? I sent him another one about two weeks ago and haven’t heard anthying? I realize he might be very busy with the way the Edgun shipping has been a nightmare! I was a machiist for 38 years lost my job to big company down sizing LONG Story! I would love to make something or mod my own Edgun but keep waiting! On youtube I watched and found some nice magnetic clips one particular one held on by a magnet I think it held 8 shots or so, looked to be made very nice showed how it worked shot it and the video was done! No where said where you can buy one or is someone making them? nothing. saw a few clear ones also held quite a few but were also big and bulky! but same there no outlet to buy or who to call! Ed has one on his video that looked nice also looked to be a bolt on for the Matador, showed its operation just the bolt and that was it! Is it just me or would most that have the Matador like to buy a clip and a good price!!! 😯 😯 😯 😯
Here is what I watched a week or so ago also in Russian but is this available?? I don’t get it!!! I am guessing Ed has more to deal with on getting his guns to USA? which is understanable, but am I the only one that would love to see more info on this subject and when things like this are poted where in the hell can we get them or when??
