Complete Screw/bolt set for Matador
Would be nice to get one, including those countersunk allen fiddly bolts that hold the back cap.
Or, better, someone could just post the full specs of the kit (iNcluding pitch Size etc) so that i can order some from the internet 🙂
On a side note:
The breech, which is held in place just by 2 bolts, tends to slightly slide back with use, leaving a tiny gap where it connects on the barrel.
It’s less than a millimeter, but it’s there.
I have seen it in some of your pics as well.
I bet everyone that has disassembled the gun more than once has got it at some extent. (for instance even the chap that has received the new matador has got it, in the second pics, where you see the breech, the gap im talking about is before the “M” of Made in Russia. ( http://talonairgun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23829 )
The problem is that the breech block bolts screw into the back cap, which is ultimately held in place by the 2 tiny fiddly countesunk allen bols of above, which fail after disassembly the gun a dozen times, as they give up some space.
It’s good to have a rifle that is easy to disassemble, but i would have preferred a batter back cap, held in place firmly by bigger sturdier bolts.
Of note i have always lubed the bolts with grease before screwing them back in place.
Cheers

IIRC, those are M3 x .5 by approx. 13mm. You can buy 14mm and trim the ends down. !2mm might be o.k. if the threads in the cap are in good condition. If the threads are not pristine, you want the bolts to be as long as possible (and you can get a set of taps to clean the threads).
These are the bolts I am reffering to in my last post.

I also noticed that when after putting a few rounds through my R3. The breech block moved back just enough where there is a noticeable gap just as you mentioned. The gap did not grow after about 300 rounds and everything is functioning well. I does not seem to effect performance in my gun. However, I was concerned. I removed the two retaining bolts below the bolt handle and closed the gap by pushing the breech block forward. To address the issue, which is really not an issue since my gun work perfectly fine, I plan on finding a pair of bolt to replace the ones that came with gun. I hope to find a set that have heads larger than the stock bolts. I can turn them down if needed to get a precise bolt head fit into the slots. By doing so, the breech can no longer move by virtue of the precise fit of the bolt heads in the breech bolt holes. Again, the gun work flawlessly as is. I will only be bridging the gap and serves more of an aesthetic purpose. Hope this observation helps those that are experiencing any concerns over this matter.

Agree. Can Tony put them into a package for us to purchase?

This is not really a problem until.. you screw/unscrew to bolts too often to clean the gun.
Eventually the threads of the action will be getting too large and the screws will not tighten down anymore. 🙁
