Q:

Edgun "old barrel" vs. "new barrel"…no

Here’s the thought. Most of us can’t shoot up to the full potential of the “old barrel” to begin with!

Even using bench rests, few of us can reach sub-sub-minute of angle performance at 100 yards. The ignorant masses are not that skilled, trained, nor have the time to devote to perfecting that degree of accuracy.

Enter the “new barrel”. Ed is simply trying to make an “Excellent” rifle into a “Perfect” rifle, that’s all. And judging from his efforts, he won’t stop there. That’s what makes an Edgun so special. It’s not mass produced and dropped on the market by the tens of thousands in whatever condition the machine spits it out. Each rifle is individually tested, and the proof is sent with the rifle.

If the “old barrel” can shoot the American quarter sized eyes out of a monkey at 100 yards, I have no concern that the “new barrel” is capable of shooting the pupils out of the eyes of that monkey at 100 yards. Most of us would be proud to just claim a clean head shot. The monkey doesn’t give a damn either!

And….to be perfectly honest, if I saw a monkey in Arkansas, I doubt I would shoot it anyway! So don’t feel shorted if you own an Edgun with an “old barrel”. It’s already more than you need, and capable of more accuracy than 99% of us can achieve.

As for the stock…Ed makes a custom rifle, the stock is secondary, but functional. You can always have a custom stock maker fix you up with a finely grained, burled walnut stock to set the rifle off. Personally, I’ll settle for the quite adequate factory stock, and enjoy the quality, durability, and accuracy, those saved dollars pump into the business end of that weapon!

Should I cancel my .25cal Matador and wait for the new one Ed? 😯

Just kidding….. 😆

and I keep telling myself—as I drop my spare change into that 5 gallon water bottle that says “future Edgun fund”—good things come to those who wait. I can see it now, a nice .25 laser with an Italian stock 😎 😈

Thanks for the warm words 🙂 I agree with the item that the “old barrels” good enough for the most of the shooters, especially after a gun has shot for few thousand shots. That is true. But, on the other hand, I am still not a businessman, I am still a hobby guy 🙂 so it is just interesting for myself, what will happen if… and begin to change some characteristics most of those people even have no idea 🙂 That is fun for me and I like that. The result of it — gun. Not perfect yet 🙂 but I want it to be such a kind 🙂

As for the stock, I am writing this from the hotel in Italia, I will spend weekend here, on the North of Italia, just walking and relaxing and from Monday I will be fully occupied on the gun stock factory, working on my stocks and R3 will be assembled with the new, made in Italia, stocks. I do hope the quality will be perfect. It will cost me more, but I will try to keep the price :), I told I am not a businesman, I just like what I am doing 🙂

As long as you are completely satisfied with yours, that’s all it counts. I am 😆 !
