Bogman, my R5 has 6.35 (25) No191 on the left side of the breech block and some Russian words and 300 (bars?) on the right. Ahead of that, it has that it is one of 407 guns in the limited edition.

It also has a QR code that links to the manual. Nice manual, by the…Read more

Some of them are short and to the point.

I lusted for an Edgun since I first saw them on the net, unfortunately, they weren’t available in the US!

THEN I saw a post…Read more

That is some funny shit right there, you demented fuck!

Compared to the old valve, the new valve is massive! The old valve weighs 65.5 grains, the new one is 222.9 grains. The spring guide end on the new valve is .568″ longer on the new valve.

Ed also sent me a heavier hammer, it weighs 583.6 grains.

He wants to know the blade length, the OA length, what steel is used along with the hardness and finally; the cost.

Do you still plan on making the improved 30 cal R3 parts available to us guys that bought one of the oeiginal 30 cals that Tony got in 2013?

I drink a lot of Calvert Extra, a blended whisky. Pretty smooth and not near as costly as Knob Creek.

I bought my 30 cal long with the intensions of making it into a .257″ cal gun shooting my cast bullets. I bought a new 25 cal breech block assembly from Ed and mounted them on my 30 cal R3.…Read more

I know that I can tune my R3 25 cal long up to shoot them at 880fps or higher. I’m thinking that I can get at least 45-50 regulated shots at 880fps.

When I get the Heavies in…Read more

Dman: you need to watch the pictures that you post here: if you don’t watch it you are going to get banned!

Hey: Wait! 😆

I don’t post much anymore as I feel that just about all of this Edgun stuff has been covered many times in the past, plus: I only get on the TAG after I have left the bar after I get off of my 2nd shift job.

OK.

Many years ago: Mamcrakin and I petitioned Ed to make a 25 caliber version of his…Read more

If you currently have some available; I’ll give you a call!

After the last EBR, I called AOA at least once a month and they always assured me that cast bullet shooting airguns would be allowed there this year. I saved up my vacation days and I was looking…Read more

You will be in my prayers.

Fight the good fight and:

Don’t let the bastards drag you down!

I am sure that we are all pleased that you got your Matador up and going!

Of course: you should have followed my advice instead of the advice from some of the uniformed, misinformed, delusional and low information people/voters that post here. 😆

Most of them probably voted for Obama. That worked out rather…Read more

The first thing that you need to do is: throw away the 2 foot long hex key wenches that you use on your Matador and buy a set of 6 inch long hex key wrenches. Your 2 foot long hex key wrenches allow you to put WAY too much torque on the LITTLE TINY…Read more

Adham; sorry for the hijack!

I haven’t been posting much or doing much of anything but sleeping and working plus 2 beers and a shot of whisky nightly after work. I haven’t even been able to come up with the energy to go out to the bar for quite a while now.

I’ve shot my Edguns a total of ONCE this year!

OK, while I watched both videos, I was trying to figure out what air gun you were shooting.

Your gun’s stock is pretty much a direct copy of the R3 Long version Edgun Matador’s stock.

The rest of the gun is way different. I have never seen the air gun that you have and, I thought that I kept up on all of the new bull…Read more

I enjoyed your clip from A Clockwork Orange!

THAT was a great movie! I have enjoyed all of Stanley Kubrick’s movies.

Spartacus, Dr Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange, 2001, A Space Odyssey and the Shining are all classics.

Maybe a meeting between Reaper and Alex and his Droogs would shape up Reaper’s act!

You have really improved your shooting skills since you first got your Matador!

You said that the groups were shot with a SS breach. I am assuming that the SS breach means a single shot breech?

All of my Matadors are single shot. I have owned other air guns with magazines and I…Read more

Remove the scope from it’s mounts and add 1 or 2 thin plastic shims to the inside bottom of the rear scope mount. Cut the shims so that they will cover the full half inside circle of the rear mount. Doing that will slightly cant the scope in the rings and allow you to sight your gun in at 54 yards…Read more

I put my vote in for an Edgun, but then, I drink a couple of Edgun Kool Aids every day!

The majority of the people that buy a Matador don’t have any issues with them. Some of the Matador owners have somewhat erratic shot strings. The problems can be easily resolved by tuning. Ed designed the Matador to be easily serviced and/or tuned…Read more

If your current speeds are higher than what you want. You can’t just turn the HST down to get the speeds that you are wanting!

He quickly dropped that design as it was fugly, awkward, heavy and it didn’t shoot very well.

Ed learned from his mistakes and he then came up with the Matador.

It might take FX a couple more years to also learn how to make a bullpup.

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?
