Broken part on my matador
I have a broken plastic rod on my edgun…does anyone know if this part is still made of plastic or has it been upgraded to metal.
Ps. Does anyone know the price of this part?

My matador only has a rubber oring on the regulator and I just replaced it again and made sure it’s seated properly and I’m still getting strong air from the magazine area
P.S I figured it out….apparently the oring in the breech must have blown out somehow….never knew there was one in there but then again I should have been smarter because the single shot had the oring on the bolt itself but the r3m bolt doesn’t so there should be an oring to hold back the air….which apparently is in the back of the barrel..
Thanks guys for the help….I’ve never needed to do this much work to this gun till now.
OK its one of two things the brass oring on top the regulator or the breech oring put a piece of tissue over the breech and see if it’s coming from there.
Ok so now I have a blast of strong air hitting my cheek after each shot….the oring is in place that connects the air tube to the upper….what do I do from now
The short end is usually toward the valve plug.
So you think the air reservoir needs to be with the smaller side to the valve stem?….
Well I have to say that it does look like it needs to be that way. The spring tension helps keep the valve closed. The new regulator only has a little washer instead of a bushing.
Thanks for the video.
You might have the plenum flipped
Ok I decomposed the rifle and when I took the reg out this is the problem I’m having…. If I flip the bushing around like you showed in the picture my bushing doesn’t sit flush in the air reservoir
Now if you look at the bushing it has scape marks of the spring.
as if the bushing was to be placed upside down like this.
Now I whipped out my calipers and took a measurement of the inside distance of the “expansion tank” or “air reservoir” and I’m assuming the side that read a smaller measurement is the side that belongs with the regulator adjustment screw. Only because if I add the valve stem to the smaller side of the air reservoir the valve stem has a lot of tension on it and it seems too tough to push the stem down to allow a shot….
But I could be wrong and that’s why I’m asking so I can assemble this right and not have any problems or broken valve stem because of too much load on it. Now if anybody with a R3 can chime in because all the videos of Reg assembly’s I’ve seen don’t match up to how my reg looks.
You have an older regulator with the aluminum bushing that sits in the plenum? if this is the piece you’re talking about you can:
#1 place valve stem in the plug
#2 place the return spring on valve stem
#3 place aluminum bushing with the rim down and thin part up
#4 screw plenum back onto valve housing (plug)
Ok a quick question on re-assembly of the regulator….after I installed the new valve stem the little spacer fell out of the regulator….should the aluminum cap be facing down and the valve stem sits inside or should the cap be facing towards where the hammer hits and facing upward?

That is very good string…. try to set to 930 FPS as i believe that velocity is perfect for the . 22cal hunting purpose…
Very easy my bro…… just put back the broken valve together.. and use a caliper then cut off the extra part… easy …
Use a caliper and cut it so it sticks out 3-3.5mm from the brass plug.
Nice! What is the best way to make sure you cut the new valve stem to the same length as the original?

It’s a .25? If so you need a 6.1×1.5 oring
