Edgun R3M .25 Ultra Short

Ever since this thread I’ve always wanted an Edgun Short. When Keyser showcased the new .25 short it peaked my interest but it still didn’t look right to me. I already had a .25 standard and didn’t want to upgrade to the .25 short for minimal gains so did what I thought was natural, commission Dman to hacksaw a $1500+ gun. I shared some ideas with him and let him do the rest. End result is below…

My Edgun Matador R3M .25 Ultra Short. It measures just under 25.5″ end to end.

This is probably the shortest Edgun Matador R3M .25 I’ve seen however I’ve seen some pretty short .22 on youtube but the reservoir wasn’t modified. I had Dman shorten it for aesthetics and relocate the fill port. On the second pic the fill port has a dust plug on it. I didn’t really care about shot count and just wanted a badass looking Matador short. It’s mostly a shelf queen since a .25 isn’t exactly backyard friendly. Sound wise it’s about the same since the LDC was not altered. I plan to get some sort of eccentric moderator to finish the project off. I also have to retune it given the shorter barrel.

It’s amazing how different this gun feels with the length shorten just a couple of inches. Originally a standard is 29.3″ and you can feel the length and weight when maneuvering it. As soon as picked up this ultra short it felt much much lighter with most of the weight balanced right above the grip. I strongly believe this should have been the look and size of a Matador short straight from Edgun!
