2015 Lelya Pics?
Does anyone even know what the new Lelya’s look like? I’m referring to the one with the non-centric shroud. Some of us have been waiting for close to a year but have yet to see what might arrive in the next shipment.
Hoot on the other hand has been waiting for a century so I’m glad he got his.

Matador is cheaper in USA because of the number of customers who want to buy that gun there. The whole Europe market is just a fraction of USA one when it comes to the number of sold guns.
Who’s selling R3M for $1,350? I think that was a short lived sales. They’re $1,450 now plus shipping so they’re right around the low $1,500 delivered. Not all that different than other quality offerings right now. I’m waiting to see if Ed will bring any new changes to his Matadors in the next shipment. I’m hoping he continues to evolve his Edguns and it would be interesting to see what the R4M will bring if it becomes a reality. A forward cocking lever or bolt would be awesome if you guys say he’s listening! The guy is a great inventor based on some of his one off prototypes seen on youtube so if he wants to make something, I’m sure he can incorporate it into an aesthetic designed bullpup.
!OFF TOPIC PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
If anyone has an older Lelya that he/she wants to sell, please pm me.
Thank you for listening, please continue…
True. This is good also. Free markets with many options are great for the consumer. FX has a monopoly via AoA and I won’t buy an FX gun. I have noticed more and more FX guns being sold second hand and people dropping prices sometimes more then once before it is sold. They are not holding their value as well as they once did FREE MARKETS RULE competition RULES. Today there are too many other viable options putting pressure on manufactures to make better guns at cheaper prices. The more pups that come out that are Edgun Quality the better off we all are.
“Ironically” the matador has always been cheaper in the US than in Europe where it was produced… 😯
Pip I’m sure market pressure has played a role but I think the Ruble falling to the dollar has also helped. The irony is that now the Matador is actually cheaper in the USA when compared to some of the new bullpups like the Vulcan.
Me RM3 is a freaking animal in every single way. Thanks Hoot:
So you think the matador is the best?
Long live the free market and the freedom of opinions :8: :dito: :8:
Pippo, Matador is still the best. It does not matter there are more bullpup constructions, not mentioning FX ones which are too fresh to be really reliable. And no, Ed did not pay me for saying that. This is my personal opinion. There are many car producers and the best ones are still expensive.

Does Ed give a shit?
Yes I think he does.
Actually I believe he gives several shits and it’s easy to understand why.
A few years back when Ed had 80% of the bullpub market and his guns were selling for around 2700 USD then he didin’t give a shit but today that he probably has only 25% of the market and he himself priced his matador to 1350 USD (still being a reasonable price to make profit) I believe he gives several shits.
Probably today he profits from the heavy investment he has done on customer loyalty and sees the big benefit that comes along.
Luckily today we customers enjoy a free market and not a monopoly anymore and quality of products has raised and prices have fallen.
Long live the free market :dito:
All of them come this way. The only options when ordering are caliber. I think the new design changes look nice.
Same here, not a fan of the eccentric moderator
Are all Lelya’s coming with that new moderator and rail? I don’t like either one of them.

Not losing hope, BUT!
We can all (well maybe not all) agree that the R3M was shocking to say the least. Let’s not go there and here me out.
How does Ed rely on his new designs to be up to par with his previous quality vs the R3M series? Does he deliver 10-20 rifles to be put in the field and evaluated before mass producing? Or does he wait for the customer to provide feedback?
The new Lelya design is a blind date! I’m the type to put my money in the hands of a PRO and not ask questions but like I stated earlier, the R3M raises questions.
I’m not Ed
I’m not a gun builder
I’m not a 1 man team
