Matador R3 is revealed =) for real this time
Not sure if you guys saw that on Russian Edgun forum, but I just noticed that R3 has been officially released to the general public.
Its all in Russian (i am Russian so its no problem for me) but you can use babelfish or other translator program to read it.

I wonder what that means? Hoot ❓ 🙄 ❓
Perhaps it means: One potato, two potato, three potato, four! Just guessing.
Link to Rail Differences…
Mark
So….what’s the difference?
Kindly, ‘Ol Uncle Hoot 😯
(any you guys seen my glasses?)
Duh…
Upon further study, after importing the picture into Microsoft Picture and Editing/enlarging….the air gauge has these markings….”Nyet…Nyet….Nyet…Dah!!!”
I wonder what that means?
Hoot ❓ 🙄 ❓
That R3 pic shows only 1 air tube/barrel/scope rail mount, a longer front breech block, the shroud buts up against the air tube/trigger mount and the shroud end cap, and therefore internals, are different.
Also, from looking at those pics, the air gauge doesn’t have any graduations on it. 😆
I like the painted stocks better but, if Ed can only get walnut stocks for the next few months, he can send Tony a walnut stocked .25 cal R3 for me and I would gladly paint it!
I got excited and didn’t have my glasses on…Goat!
Give an old man a break! I pee’d my pants too, so I didn’t have much time to study the mount. Had to go change my Depends.
I wonder if these were made in Estonia or Russia???? It will make a difference to us here in the Colonies.
Kindly ‘Ol Uncle Hoot 😯
Great Looking….
The most obvious Differences…. The Barrel is not exposed…(Similar to the Lelya)
Segmented Shroud (Improved design ???)
Longer Breech (Threaded Like the Lelya???)
Single Barrel Band
But what Improvements on the inside???? Where do you go from a 50 + shot air tube with 8-10 fps difference…… One can only guess.
Improved barrel twist rates???
Looking Good……PLEASE can we get a Video Preview!!!!!!!
Count me in !!!!! Just let me know when they are available 😀
Mark…..
C’mon Hoot, a weaver mount isn’t high precision, that is a Picatinny mount! You should know better!

Look at the new longer breech, new barrel attachment position, lower weaver mount, and two piece shroud! Further, note how close the shroud is to the tube…this baby is TIGHT fitted!
Sure wish we could get that plain wood finish stock!!!
