Where art thou Brother Hemn?
Today is 9/16/13, should go down in history as the day the Edgun Matador .22 cal Long R3M should have landed on the much anticipated Hemn’s doorstep. Hemn, after catching your breath, please give us an update. Is it everything you’ve dreamed about for the past 2 yrs? Wishing you the best and that they delivered when promised.

Sorry Hemn, I didn’t have my reading glasses on, what did you say 😆 Emailed 80% of hunting websites wow, that is dedication right there. Is the process of getting pellets and supplies from Pyramid Air that that hard too?
Dear Oldgoat;
No, i don’t consider your kind words as a teasing action, I am really happy that people here are interesting on my case, specially an experienced man like you and others, i do like all,
You are correct about that, but you missed the biggest point here my dear, I AM LIVING IN FUCKING IRAQ, during the last two years i was trying to find out the way and discussing/explaining the situation of how to ship an air rifle either via airlines or ground, and failed, and failed, then we are sorry, again we are not able, this time failed, sorry Hemn that i am telling you that shipping to Iraq is disbelief, sorry Hemn shipping to Iraq is impossible, we do apologize for you Hemn that we will not able to ship any rifles (or any accessories)to Iraq 😳 😳 😳 these were the words that i get used to hear and read on my respond emails, i deal with you, that i have sent email to %80 of the hunting/gun shop websites in US and other countries…..
my way was confirmed by Mr. Frank in Germany on July 4th 2013 (this person shipped my gun from Germany to my city) see below email;

Hello Hemn,
we received the confirmation for the Flights DUS-IST-ISU from Turkish Airlines.
Now I need the dimensions and the weight of the shipment/parcel/cardboardbox, to give you the price for the transport.
How long does it take until the rifle will be in DUS? (round about)
Mit freundlichen Grüssen/Best regards

and about the scope, i decided to buy the Hawke scope, and got it i think was in April, but i was not sure about the rifle (Edgun) so i could decide to order the scope mount just after confirming the way of Edung, see below email on which day(look at the date) i ordered the Burries mount still i didn’t get it; and of course we are not able to order anything by ourselves directly;

Subject: Scope Mount
Dear Kak Diary Gian;
I would highly appreciated if You Could to order the item can be found in the link below, thanks and God bless you.

we have to send the link to some body in Europe or in US then he will order it and i have to wait until the person or some body else will comeback to Iraq then bring it with himself.
and this mount was stuck in Germany on Aug 1st 2013, i put my friend in a trouble with police 😳 when the mail arrived Germany police called my friend out there to open the package by himself and check what is inside!? why ? i don’t know ❓ ❓ and he is a doctor and had no time even to his work and he has to go to police station every day and after two week of checking they said it is okay to carry it with yourself, please Oldgoat put yourself in my position, it was really really shame and embarrassing situation for me 😳 😳 😳 and it should be arrived in the next three days Ohhh, i am really tired,
you know every time when i wanted to buy anything i asked some one either in Europe or US to pay for me, because no one of the online companies accept Iraq business cards … and i already have bank acc, but bank ask for the certification of importing/quality control….blablabla…. of any items to Iraq from the seller, and the invoice should be stumped/signed off, if anyone of these not available central bank of Iraq will stop the wire transfer and after all of these they will not TRF the money since i am interesting on something which names (rifle)
So, my dear friends this is a very very little issues and it is a brief for me during the last three years when i started to loving air rifles and wanted to buy….. hope you all understand the situations in Iraq and me and above all of these God helped me and i own everything except the picatinny mount for my Edgun…… I own the blue chronograph also…. see these pic and still i couldn’t put all my accessories here;
this is not all of these but i wanted to show the Chronograph;

I really don’t want to waste your times guys sorry but i have to explain these and you judge me; am i careless or i am a hero?… you are lucky guys in US and Europe and get everything easily
Cheers from Hemn. M, he will be retired till he can get an air rifle or an accessories….
What I don’t understand is: while you were waiting 2 plus years, WHY didn’t you accumulate all of the extra needed stuff to be able to shoot the damn thing the FIRST day that you finally got it into your grubby hands?
And then; you post that you hope to be able to shoot it in a week or so? 😯
I mean; WTF!
I know that I am one of the ugly Americans that you have heard so much about but; I make it a point to have ALL of my needed shit ready to go so that I can then take a day off when my newest Matador comes in and shoot the shit out of it.
What could be more important? 😆
I am ready to go when my R3 30 cal is due to arrive here and I will track the UPS driver down and get it early in the morning. I WILL take the day off, take it to the 100 yard range, chrony it, shoot groups and post them here.
I have at least around a month until I get my 30 cal R3. If you keep pissing around, I might be able to post my chrony strings and shot groups here before you post yours!
Hemn; I am just teasing you:kinda sorta. 😯 😆
Hey Hemn, I am very happy that you finally got your R3M after you have waited over 2 years to get any Matador!

Gentlemen;
A few info about the R3M;
The Trigger is really really smooth and soft, i believe all those who own other guns you will be very satisfied. for me it is smoother than my M-Rod by 3times or more 😯
Stock is very nice and it is walnut,
Bluing and finishing is quite nice and elegant.
the mags are very small size and reasonable, i believe the predator pellets can be used with Edgun mags.
loudness is very comfortable and i consider it a backyard friendly ….
holding the mags under the scope rail is very nice idea and it works well 😎 😎 it will not move at all unless you should take them out by yourself ….. and there is a space for four mags….
but the most important info is accuracy and regulator working which i didn’t get chance to have practice….. 😥 😥 😥 😥 👿 👿 the the good news is next week i have almost five official holly day because of Eid al Duha, so i wish i could find chance and do it… hopefully….
the multi shot breech is working properly and there is a pin just on the left side of the breech if you put it down then your mag will be hold in the same position and will not rotate, this is for decocking the hammer while the mag is in the breech and you don’t want to shot, so you will do this for being in the safe side.
mags created from the metal.
the bolt is stainless steel and very nice as well.
the soft case is really good and perfect, but the only point that still not clear for me is; am i able to put the rifle in this case while i will mount the burries mount with Hawke 8.5-25X42?
thanks and sorry if these info is already exist with you guys…. 😳
Ok guys, confirmed by Tony, the Matadors are being supplied with two magazines. Additional magazines will be very reasonable in price but may not be available in the first shipment.
Email to Tony:
Tony are the Matadors being supplied with two magazines?
Will there be extra mags available for purchase and if so at what price?
Thanks mike
Email from Tony:
Yes they are. The rumor is they would become available at $30 each, probably no in the first shipment.
Tony
Ok guys there you have it but do remember price for magazine is not set in stone and there will be no extra magazines in first shipment as Tony had stated in a second email to me. I also have to bring to your attention that in my email to Tony in the subject line I referred the questions to the .25 R3M so I can only speculate that the price or suggested price for .30 mags to be that of the .25 but can’t say for sure.
I am looking forward to my .25 R3M long and will surely be purchasing a couple more magazines when they become available. For those who will be receiving the .30 cal congrats to you and can’t wait to hear your feed back.
I saw that too, two mags in the picture but the picture didn’t say whether or not it came with two mags, I assume it does, or if he bought an extra one. Which brings up another question how much are addition mags and will they be available upon purchasing of the gun. I have an email to Tony so perhaps I’ll be posting a follow up shortly.
Good! Weird that no one thought about that question before . 😯
Don´t forget to post your findings.
Mike, thanks, Yes. it came with two mags, and there is a special accommodation under the scope rear for four mags, it is very nice idea, even i didn’t know that it will come with only two mags, otherwise i would pay for three more mags, 😥 😥 😥 it will be good if you have 50 pellets always for hunting, if you go for plinking then i believe we should ask 6mags for standard one and 8mags for long version.
Good to know the package arrived.
What really made me suspicious about that wirgin business was that the wedding night i found a condom in her. A used one… Back then i thought her “Father” was just kind enough to leave one for a poor Finnish teenager but i quess i know better now since it was a used one.
Well – those 150 Markka was indeed lot of money back then and one could buy either a Cow or a Whore. I,in my infinite wisdom, thought “what the hell – i´ll kill two birds with one stone! If i marry her i´ll have both”
Who´s stupid now .?? ..
P.S Don´t forget the pics !!
P.P.S It wasn´t a Brothel but a ” Le Maison Derriere”
Did you ever find that guy who convinced you your wife was a virgin, when he introduced her, before you married her? I know you were only 18, but weren’t you even a little curious how HE knew???? You shouldn’t have been in a foreign brothel at that age to begin with!
I realize it was a long time ago, but damn man….150 Markka was a LOT of money in those days! I’ll bet you were really pissed when you found out the “marriage license” she came with was a German sewer bill, and that guy wasn’t really her father, or a real minister! Small wonder you call him “Dr. Evil”!
I got the shirts, photos to follow soon. Thanks! (I think!)
Regards,
Kindly ‘Ol Uncle H 😯 😯 t

Yeap,
Two mags it is…

As seen in his pics-Yes,it came with two mags. I think they all come with a spare mag but i´ve been wrong before (once,some 25 years ago but wrong nonetheless) so that may not be true.
Hemn,
Woo Hoo you got her in your hands !! Word of advice – Dooon’t Drop Her! Look forward to your review. Question did she come with two magazines?
Go shoot that gun,…and take alot of pictures 🙂 🙂

Dear Brother Donny;
believe me i don’t remember if one day i found the hunting website and i didn’t sent an email to them, if you don’t believe me it is very easy i will send you my email ID & password then check it by yourself, i am ready to do that 😀 ,
Pyramyd air was the only company that can easily ship to Iraq but now i have another problem, PA will ship via FedEx and FedEx office now moved to Erbil (the city that currently i live there)air port which is the security is really really very tight and all rifles and accessories are restricted/prohibited, so, i have to check with that company who imported my gun for pellets and others…..
Thanks
