Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

The R5 will be my next gun. I love the design and performance. I hope to get mine by spring time.

Keep us posted on her performance.

Thanks

Gabe

R3M Short .25
240 Bar- 900 fps
130 Bar- 890 fps
120 Bar- 875 fps
~4 shots/10 Bar
44 shots/110 bars

Use the info as reference. In my experience with two other Matadors, they shoot better after they break in after a few thousand rounds.

I’ve…Read more

Enjoy!

I plan on testing how many shots I could expect to get in the field later.

I’ll post my results as well.

Here is my set up when I got hiking, trailing, and biking. Everything fits snugly. Best of all, it inconspicuous. I live in Cali…Read more

I got it from Best Fittings
http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=619

On the website image, it shows the old t fitting. It now comes with a compact fitting like mine (see the third pic).

I’m going to use my tank when I go on trail walks or camping.

Gabe

I charged my tank to 150 bar. No leaks.

I do not use thread tape. I lightly coat the valve to tank O ring with silicone and hand tighten. Once pressurized, the connections lock into place. Just make sure your O ring has no nicks or cuts and you should be good.

Gabe

I got a 30 day shipping quote. Was surprised the tank showed up in a week.. I bought it from Acecare.

Gabe

M18 x 1.5mm thread pattern.
Here is where I got it from:
http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=619

Including air mail w/shipping to CA from England, the valve set up , a quick fill female fitting, a dead head, and dowdy seals, it cost me $130. The tank was another $103 shipped. I think this is a good deal for brand new stuff. In my…Read more

Question for Cricket or anyone else who has a mini valve: Are you using a Quick Connect fitting with or without a air flow restrictor? I have a fitting (from Best) with the ability to remove the restrictor.…Read more

It is an adapter made by John Hagan with a male 1/2-20 threads. It screws on like the OEM baffle cover. I use it when I need to practice at home/backyard . Great product imo.

Gabe

I miss mine :sadn: I too hoped for a .25 or .177 shorty.

Thanks for sharing Fox!

Gabe

Nice machine work. Looks factory made.

Ernest, you are talented person. Keep it up :8:

Gabe

I have a fat boy and know how effective they are. However, I would not have the balls to do that to my leshiy..

Gabe

Lelya is my next gun. I’m so glad Ed redesigned the moderator.

Thanks for the pics!!

Gabe

Thx

Here’s the spacer I used:…Read more

I thought I was the only one with that problem :rofl:

I’m waiting on an airmax to put on my gun. See that goes….

Gabe

I like your stock. Very nice tiger striping!

Where you but it from?

Gabe

I have an uncle who looked exactly like Chirugh. He wore the same hair cut and clothes back in the early eighties. That was norm back then..

I added the multi shot breech a couple years ago..

It serves it purpose well. I use it as my bench gun. Overall length is 38 inches with the Fatboy. Not bad considering its spitting out .25 kings at about 900 fps with a shot count of 70 + shots. It’s my most accurate gun.

Have you ever seen no country for old man? My r3 reminds me of Anton’s gun…

Performs as well. To my ears, it quiets my mutant and r3 a tad better than Donny’s longer smaller diameter Ldc. How I look at it, I get performance of a longer pickle in a short, stubby package. I really think this unit is a winner.

One other quick detail. On my mutant, I think it…Read more

Based on the Eds videos, it looks like this little gun can shoot with accuracy at distances of 50 yards and beyond.

Any thoughts on a scope with plus 6 magnification? Perhaps a clearidge 3-9x or Similar model like a leopold?

I plan on using mine to hunt quail, dove and rabbit. I’m thinking that after my prey…Read more

Gabe

Very accurate. I’m shooting at about 15 yards and I’m able to hit what I point at (rested).

Sounds like an old Mac 1 LD I had.

Going to use it as my backpacking gun.

So far, I’m getting about two shots per 10 bar according to the gun’s gauge. Maybe 3. I’ll be happy with 30 shots from a 240 bar fill.

Gabe

Mine looks just like yours. Mine is a replacement Peter sent me. It shoots great. I’m satisfied.

Gabe

My short is shooting AA 16 grainers at 845 fps. I didn’t do anything to my gun other than change the barrels. It’s breaking in well. The more I shoot it the more accurately I shoot it.

The trigger is phenomenal. I wish my edguns had a trigger like the mutant. I would probably shoot them more often..

Gabe

Gabe

I went to check my emails with tgag and they said mine replacement barrel was/is a CZ.

The muzzle crown looks exactly like a cricket I use to own so I do believe it is an original CZ. I’m satisfied with the new barrel. No more flyers :biggrinn:

Gabe

Your correct Endo. I counted wrong. 12 shots per mag not 10 as I originally thought. So I get 3…Read more

I could say my CZ made barrel is shooting much better than the made in Germany barrel. So far…..

I would love to buy a listone barrel to compare it with the CZ made barrel. I’d buy it for insurance purposes. I would have gotten rid of the mutant short if it were not for the great consistency, quietness, and short length. Also, 30…Read more

I just checked my mutant and the set screw which secures the barrel to the breech is flush or not protruding. I was about to take my replacement barrel off to check if the transfer port and dimple were 180* but I decided not to because I remember checking the alignment and it looked okay to me. I’m not saying it is 100% okay but I’m fine…Read more

Thanks

Gabe

Their IPAs are also smooth. There are some harsh, bitter IPAs out there. I try to stay away from them. No need for bubble guts 🙁

Gabe

Without the Ldc adapter, my gun is 22.75 inches long. The adapter adds .5 inches to the length. My gun is launching 16 grain AAs (jsbs) at 844 fps begin in at 240 bar down to about 150 bar for approximately 30 shots. The spread is very tight within that range. About 4-6 fps. I could get another 5-10 shots but the spread grow steadily.…Read more

All I know is that I was asked by Jeff to send my “made in Germany” to Joe brancatos shop in Huntington Beach before he could send me the replacement barrel. I think he is a rep for Peter and Joe. Shit IDK!

Gabe

I don’t know the true identity of this barrel. It…Read more

Gabe

I inspected the barrel before installing and I did not notice any markings. No dimples, stamps, or flat spots. I owned a cricket and it looks very similar to the cricket barrel in blueing and muzzle crown. Just from comparing the rifling of the new barrel to the old barrel, the new barrel rifling lands are taller.
