New .25 R3 owner, need help from Edgunners.
First off all, I like to thanks to all the Edgun owners on this forum for the vast knowledge of the Metador.
I recently acquired 2 Metadors, Thanks to Tedd (Oldgoat). I ended up traded the .22 Metador to Enest in NJ. Now I have a .25 R3 standard.
recently I took the gun apart to tune the reg down a bit, as it was shooting at 945 f/s. Being very careful taking it apart and reinstalling it, I noticed that there is no washer/oring at the transfer port. I thought to myself, that I may have dropped the o ring and had to replaced it with another oring of the same size. Later I found that there is a brass washer for the transfer port. I did not want the gun to fail in the middle of the shooting session or in the middle of a hunt.
Last night I emailed Tony, but he is Russia for factory training, Not sure when he will get back to me, and I dont want to keep bugging him. If any of you have a washer I can borrow, Please let me know. I will send you replacement when Tony gets back to me. I will have to order a few extras just in case someone may loose theirs.
I can be reached at 408-626-7078

You should have it soon!
100 shots mlater, I am still running a rubber Oring from Lowes in mine. Ed sent me the brass ring, but have not needed it so far
Later
I have a pack of the teflon o-rings. PM me your address if you want a couple.
Edguners are a great bunch of guys. I knew someone here will save the day.
Thanks Fast and Dangerous, I will take your offer on this. I will PM you for the mailing address.

I will try to make one with a dremel tool. Tedd(Oldgoat) had used teflon/nylon washer and is working ok. Maybe I will try that.

Teflon will work just fine if you can find the right size. My Air Arms uses one.
Try ACE, they have an amazing assortment of tinkering oddities.
Ed sent me couple of those. I can send you one if you still need it.
Thanks for the dimension info.

You can ask to make it any lath operator. The outside diameter is 8 mm, the inside diameter is 7 mm, the thickness is 1.2 mm.

Thank you Art. I received the teflon orings a couple days ago.
Thank you Peter (Fast and Dangerous), I received the Brass washer today.
Both should work just fine,
