Funny test of the stability of the system.
Dissasembling/assembling for the time is quite interesting but any action has to have the real sence, not only jerking, isn’t it? 🙂 The purpose of the Matador design is simplicity. Maximum simplicity. The simplicity to such extent that it can be repaired for quarter of an hour while siting in the car, without any tools, special workshop, special experience, just because it was designed that way. But besides the comfort of repair (the access to the parts), the stability of how the system work is very important. For the functionality of the gun doesn’t depend on the skills of those who make the repair. The design of the gun should give the user the minimum possibility to make something wrong. It is important that after all the work the user could just take the gun and keep going on shooting without any additional movements, like installing the barrel in the right position, fixing the screws in a right way, zeroing the gun etc. So I thought that there is very simple way to test it, and that way is quite an convincing. So, just watch the video, I hope you will like it. 😆
One more thing, pay attention to all the mistakes I made during making this video. It just one more time proofs that all my video are not special prepared, I don’t make the plans, I don’t write the plot, before making video I have no idea what exactly I want to say :), so that is just a small part of my life filmed continuously :smilen:

Funny question. Click below
I am afraid to make you cry but I used that rod for 10 years already 🙂 otherwise why do you think the back plug has thread? 🙂
I use the main piston off 100-years old B.S.A. springer

I think it was like that, you watched the first video which appeared at my chanal, it was this one:
It is for Russian auditory.
Here, in this topic there is another video, for English speaking auditory and you play it you will see that the end of it is in English 🙂

What do you mean?
Ed.
In the last part of your vid…you are saying that you will explain the difference between Edgun and other BullPups. .. and you posted in Russian language. ..if possible we would like to watch it in English. ..thanks
It was here like that:
Dissasembling – 4:17
Degasing the reservoir – 1:05
Clean time of dissasembling – 3:12
Assembling – 7:10
Looking for the brass O-ring – 1:55
Filling the reservoir – 0:35
Clean time of assembling 5:40
Altogether 8:52 🙂 Looks similar to yours 🙂
What do you mean?
Ed. I would like to see the last part of your vid in English version. ..Please. ..thanks
I just did exactly what you just did in your car (but on my workbench) and replaced the two regulator piston O rings in my R3 as one was deformed and causing inconsistent shots… I stripped, fixed and reassembled it in 8 mins 45 seconds.. Point of impact did not change.

Hello ED.
Great video. While watching the vid, I was wondering how you could find the screws that you took off when it was time to put them back in?
I find it very easy to lose screws and the brass transfer port seal ring when I adjust the regulator on my Edguns while working on them on my workbench. Thru the years, I’ve lost a couple of the brass O rings and I had to order a couple from Tony. Still haven’t found the lost brass O rings.
I enjoyed watching you trying to find the brass O ring that ended up under the seat of your SUV! If I tried to do a regulator O ring replacement in my truck, I would have lost everything!
I was also wondering how you were going to depressurize the air tube. You used a tool that looks like something that I came up with around 5 years ago. I should have got a patent on it! 😆

Ed, Thanks for posting that video. Very enjoyable and good to see the step-by-step order to disassembly. Sometimes, it’s hard to see/know what order parts need to be removed and which ones are likely to get lost.
Also enjoyed the Russian swearing when the brass ring disappeared! Maybe you can educate us in Russian bad words/phrases with English translations! My mother is Lithuanian and that country does not have good curse words. So, she and my aunt always used Russian curse words. Of course, she refused to tell me and my brother what those words meant. One of the favorites sounded like ” Yopt vay you mat”. Any idea what this means? She was usually really pissed off when she said that-two “active” boys; what can one expect?
Many thanks for all the vids!
