Ok guys, just ordered a valve stem from Tony. I wanted to order two but they cost more than I expected. Get ready to pay $30.00 a pop 😯 😯 😳
I looked at the Raptor this morning. Wow. 6.2L. I only put about 5000 miles on a year now so it would be nice. 😀
I hear you, i was thinking to trade my truck for the a new Raptor, but the gas mileage sucks, nice truck tho!

Had two Toyotas ( Camry and Tundra). Both had major problems – one engine the other engine and transmission and I maintain my vehicles to the point where the dealer says I baby them too much. My F-150 2001 Lariat Supercrew truck has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned out of a about a dozen cars. Zero problems at 240k miles. Two Hondas were second. GMs have been the very worst. Never ever again – especially once they bailed them out 👿

Guys, the R2.5 air valve rods are longer than the R3s. Both the steel and Derlon ends are longer on the R2.5s. They can be easily cut to size and I prefer the extra length as I can cut them to fit as needed.
My 30 cal valve is IIRC, a couple of mm longer on the steel end compared to my newest R3 25 cal rod. The 30 cal air valve/regulator assembly is a couple of mm longer on the air valve housing end and needs a few mm longer steel end of the rod to work.
I have 5 air valve rods and they all are slightly different lengths on both ends. The steel ends have the biggest differences in length. The Derlin ends don’t vary that much and could be used as is. I still cut mine down to match the broken one. One of my 5 rods is for a R2.5 and both of the ends are a LOT longer.
AFAIK, ALL of the Matador replacement rods are interchangeable but, if you have a R2.5, you might want to ask Tony for the longest rod that he has, just to be sure that it will work for you.
One of my 5 air valve rods is for a R2.5, I don’t have any more of the R2.5s and I wouldn’t have any qualms cutting it down and using it in any of my R3s.
I have never broken a rod in any of my 22 cal Matadors, I have broken a few in the 25 cals and I expect to break a few in my 30 cal. Ed designed the Matador to be a 22 cal, he turned it up for the 25 and then he turned it up even more for the 30 cal. I expect my 30 cal to break a rod every 7,500- 10,000 shots and I am ready to replace the valve when it breaks.
You 22 cal Matador owners might never need a spare air valve rod but: you might feel pretty stupid if you break one and don’t have a spare!
The 25 and 30 cal owners should have at least one spare on hand at all times!
I have had to send out an “emergency” replacement rod to a few guys that broke one, didn’t have a spare and Tony was out of stock.
EVERY Matador owner needs at least one replacement air valve rod on hand, just in case! Don’t feel stupid if you break one and don’t have a spare!
You should look into toyotas, they have the best resale value on the market.
I was out shopping for an AWD car as my otherwise very nice loaded Honda Civic EX-L w/ navigation can’t climb out of 1/2″ of snow on the these hills. I looked at 2013 Ford Escape Titanium like my wife has and it was pretty nice with lots of touch screen computers, cameras, park assist, remote start, rear camera, and surround sensors, XM Sat etc. A barely used one with 10,700 miles on it and a new sticker price of $37 it drops to $23k in 12 months. 😯
It was too blustery here for even looking at cars. :smilen:
My dear SECoda,
You are not the miserable, ignorant, half-witted, back-stabbing, lieing, son-of-a-bitch I first assumed you were!
I now know that I can, with confidence, remove the term “ignorant” from the above phrase.
I say this before all forum members to see,without reservation! There is no need to thank me for my assessment, that’s just the way I roll…..
I am, as we speak, tallying up the numbers in preparation for the valve stem order to Tony. How he will wish to receive payment, and ship the valves, is yet to
be determined. Be patient.
I just laid down two tons of gravel, and dozens of 25 lb path-liner stones, by hand and wheelbarrow. I have showered, and am currently two sheets to the wind…with a third sheet easily within reach. My attending medical practitioner, Jack Daniels-Black, MD (Master Distiller) has given me a prescription to ease the pain in my joints. An artificially colored solution of all natural fermented grains, to be administered orally, as needed, for discomfort.
As Old Goat will attest, Almighty God Himself created fermentation, that we might find relief from our burdens, temptations, pain, and suffering, brought on by our frail human nature! God requires that Man suffer, so he may grow in wisdom, learn temperance as to his public and private behavior, develop love, understanding, and compassion, for his fellow Man, and that he might recognize pure evil when it stands before him…tempting him, taunting him, ridiculing him, laughing at him, making his very life a living breathing unbearable hell on earth…which, of course, is why God created Woman. (Brothers….may I have an “amen”?)
Kindest regurds….vision is now blurring, third sheeet clearly in sishgt…
Unlkw H :confusedn: :geekn: t
Don’t be confused H 😯 😯 t. Here Ed says a group buy asking for numbers stems by caliber is sufficient… He says nothing about needing to take the guns apart to find out what the valves look like but we can re-ping him.

The big thing is valve stems which break with lots of shots. We were putting together a group order of about 30 valve stems. .22, .25, and .30. to send to Tony. Is that ok? Each of us want a few of them on hand if possible.
Valves are not a problem. Yes, I think that if you will make the preliminary order to Tony I will send him the nessesary numbers of valves or some other parts.

Let me tell you a little story… Yesterday my valve stem broke in my R3 25 cal. long. 😳 😳 😥 I don’t understand this because she’s only shooting between 888-897 fps using JSB Kings with only around 1600 rounds through her.
Now, the meat of the story is I contacted Tony via email and this is what he said, “I have them in stock just need lengths of metal and plastic parts on yours”… Ok now I’m confused 😯 I would have thought that each model would have a standard part and all would be the same. Maybe not. 😯
What do you guys think? :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
Post? What Post?
Ya ignorant dipstick!!! Copy the post, and put it here, before i end up with a couple hundred assorted valve stems.
Are you saying these things are a DIY project by Tony?
Confused…EDIT: More confused than normal:
Kindly ‘Ol Uncle H 😯 😯 t
I think he needs to talk to Ed. Ed just commented on this in a post.

I also received a similar response from Tony.
Hoot, not sure if this pre-order valve stem thing is going to work out. 😳

Did it take any special information other than caliber and maybe model of gun?
