What kind of o-rings should I use for regulator?
There are 3 of them inside, 2 at the washer rod and 1 at the setting screw.
Thanks, Robert.
No problem! Of course there´s those probe rings as well. And : It´s Göteborg (Gothenburg) 😯
Although it´s pronounced somewhat like you spelled it- Yeu-the-bory … I´m sure the senile Uncle will have a field day with this ! 🙂

The kits were overkill but; I would recommend that you buy a few sets of the 90 Duro Buna N, O rings for the cocking handle probe and a couple of the 90 Duro Buna N, O rings for the baffle. The baffle O rings can easily get wore/torn if you remove the front baffle tube very often. 90 Duro ones will last a lot longer there
My Dear OldGoat; Definitely i have to buy these, otherwise i will be in trouble when i need anyone of them…..
Hahaha, you are really talented man, you are informative man, you are experienced man, my dear Oldgoat, this is impossible/ this is really disbelief to get anyone of these O-Rings here in Iraq :nono: :nono: , let me tell you how i could get my accessories for my Benjamin Marauder and God willing for my Edgun, i have ordered all my accessories from USA -PyramydAir- one my last order was costed me $270 the shipping cost was $264, nice isn’t it? 😯 😯
no, of course nothing is available here in Iraq and Kurdistan,,,,,, I have to order everything from outside……
I will order full set….
i will try to put some silicon grease on the fill probe o-ring from time to time, but of course i have to order this one also.
Dear OldGoat; this is the only part that i don’t know what it is? please where can i get two or three or more i usually get more sensitive things…
My Dear Brother Sir Ville;
I really really appreciate your help, of course i need it, please tell me your set is complete set including the fill probe?
in fact my my elder sister is living in Yuotoubory ( sorry for wrong spelling) also my cousin in Stockholm already, i can give you their address or you can try to ship it through the government post mail,
I will PM you tomorrow for that…..
Thanks guys, i really happy know you guys all, you are very helpful and respectable men…. 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎
😆 😆 😆 As long as they didn’t pee on it. Thanks…
BTW – Your Hoodie is on its way to Papa. I´ll repack it (after i´ve dried my dogs with it) and send it on its merry way over the Atlantic.
Now it all makes more sense 😀

😀 Wild West Airguns – The Cricket folks… Steve also runs the Extreme Benchrest competition in AZ is part of the 30 cal Crickets project.
O.K. Now – what´s WW ? Wally´s World ??
I stuck a post on the KalibrGun forum for a list but not holding my breath…. 😳 I also emailed Steve at WW.
Hemn – I have LOADS of these o-rings so i can send you a little bag in an envelope. For us Europeans : Buna N means “Nitrile” o-rings = nitrile is oil,gas etc. tolerant.
Now.if someone (like Mr. Cricket – Ernest Rowe) could gather a list over Cricket o-rings we´d all be set …
True! Very good info.

Hi Tedd,
Your list has been all over the world.
Right here it has been very helpfull for me!
Your last groop buy is still spreading out….
Thanks!
Regards, Robert.
Hello Hemn, thanks for the kind words!
I don’t have any O ring kits left and I don’t plan on offering another group buy. The last group buy got way out of hand and I needed to count, sort, bag and ship 7,800 O rings.
Each kit contained 380 O rings.
A little info on the terms 70-90 Duro and Buna N. Duro is a hardness rating, 90 is harder than 70. Buna N is the standard composition of a basic O ring. If the O ring isn’t listed as something else, it is almost certainly Buna N and should be around 70 Duro hardness.
I started the buys because the early R2.5 Matadors would wear out the bolt probe O rings very quickly. I finally found a source for harder 90 Duro Buna N, O rings and the harder O rings last a whole lot longer.
I think that Ed has started using harder O rings on the bolt probe as nobody seems to have a problem with the current R3s leaking at the cocking handle probe.
Here is the complete list for all of the Matadors, R2.5, R3 and R3M in .177, .22 and .25 cal. The first number is mm ID and the second number is mm thickness/cross section.
2.5 x 1.75 Buna 70 front barrel plug fill O ring seal
2.5 x 1.02 Buna 90 .177 cocking handle probe O rings
3 x 1 Buna 90 .22 cal cocking handle probe O rings
4 x 1 Buna 90 .25 cal cocking handle probe O rings
5 x 1.5 Buna 70 regulator shaft, fill probe
8 x 1.5 Buna 70 regulator shaft
25 x 3 Buna 70 regulator/air valve housing, front air tube plug
20 x 1 Buna 90 baffle
7 x 1.5 Buna 70 breech end of barrel R2.5s
12 x 2.5 Buna 70 barrel seal inside rear moderator tube
The kits were overkill but; I would recommend that you buy a few sets of the 90 Duro Buna N, O rings for the cocking handle probe and a couple of the 90 Duro Buna N, O rings for the baffle. The baffle O rings can easily get wore/torn if you remove the front baffle tube very often. 90 Duro ones will last a lot longer there.
You will probably have to order the 90 Duro O rings, I would be very surprised if you can find them locally.
Stay with 70 Duro Buna N for the rest of the O rings. You might want to pick up a couple each of the 2 regulator shaft O rings and a few of the regulator/air valve housing O rings also. I wore the regulator shaft O rings out after 15,000-17,000 shots. The cocking bolt probe, fill probe, regulator shaft and, if you remove the reg, the reg/air valve housing, O rings are the only O rings that are subjected to wear, the rest should last indefinitely.
You might want to buy a few 5 x 1.5 O rings for the fill probe also although, the original O rings that came on my R2.5s fill probe are still going strong after almost 5 years. I still use the original probe to fill all of my Matadors.
You also need to order at least one extra air valve rod. NOW! You will eventually break one and you will be very happy that you have an extra when you need it!
I would also like a set for the .25 standard Matador if they are available. 🙂
OG responded to my Swedish military girls photo a week or so ago. It takes the right stimulus. 😀

He´s talking about the air valve rod. Inexpensive but makes your rifle useless if/when it breaks. Buy a few spares and you´re set.
