Not for me. I am always using high rings. Has to do with my way of shooting. (I am a big guy!) There are very few Matadors in Norway. I think may be only four or five. I have three myself. That is partly why I am on your forum in Russia as well as the American TAG-forum.....

I have also written and even sent a text message..... Ed, - please let me know shipping date and tracking number for my conversion kit (MS-breeech) and mags that you promised to send on Feb. 1st this year........ Thanks....... Trygve in Oslo

Hopefully my Russian friends will like them....... I have put up a few myself too........ Thanks ! Trygve

Hello from Oslo, Some more from me ! Cheers Trygve

Hi Vlad, Thanks for your nice comments...... Yes, the thread on the Talon site is certainly being followed by a lot of people from all over the world. I am somewhat surprised by the enormeous interest in the subject. Some 72.500 views since May speaks for itself. And a lot of good people participate. I intend to keep my comparison between Matador R3 and Cricket alive for a long time still. There are new elements every day and a lot to learn from this exercise. I never thought about a book, - but may be one of these days a more comprehensive users's guide for Matador could be produc

Hi Vlad, Sorry for my late response........ Please feel free to post my pictures if you wish........ And yes, it would be nice if you mention the photographer....... Happy New Year !!! Trygve

Yes ....

Merry AirGuns !!! - and a happy pieceful and prosperous New Year to all..........!!! http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss44/zocoloco/Guns/1716e7a0.jpg Cheers from Trygve in Oslo...... (My EdGuns were not present when picture was taken......... )

To Tuskan ! Clever solution ! I use the same system with the R3, - but it is not ideal. I too wait for a magasine solution from ED..... Cheers Trygve

Hi Vlad, Thanks ! And yes, feel free to use my pictures,- but as you say not for Commercial purposes. Thanks a lot for asking. Not a lot of people would have done that...... Cheers from Trygve in Oslo

- and some have sex with all of the above..... The big difference here is between multishot (Cricket) and single shot (Matador)..... Personally I would prefer the R3, - but I would very much like a multishot version of it. When you shoot from a bench, - it does not matter much if you have the pellets in a tin next to you. But when you move around with the gun, - it would be more practical with a multishot. At least you know where you have your pellets. Also when you shoot with gloves on, - it is more practical with a number of pellets preloaded in a magasine. In a hunting situation,

- and now 61.000 views and still increasing.......! 100 Crickets out of the new factory in CZ have just landed in the US...... The battle between EDguns and Crickets has started....... Interesting times ahead I think, - with a need for ED to come up with a R3 multishot sooner rather than later........

I am surprised and pleased by the enormeous interest in this topic in the Western hemisphere......... Today the thread on the Talon forum passed 30.000 views...... That puts the topic within the top 5....... Congratulations ED !!!

Sounds like a great improvement !

I know....... ED should be answering that question........ I too have weapons that are more than 50 years old......... None of them look like this..........

The reason for comparing is because very few people in the west have seen any of these guns. For them it would be nice to fully understand the difference.... For you everything may be clear, - for us it may not be so quite yet...........

Hi, In order to make my "comparison" thread as good as possible, it would be good to have inputs from the Russian users too......... Feel free to comment or suggest things to be compared related to the two guns. Either here or directly on the Talon forum. Nothing much is happening on the Kalibr forum, - but that's their problem....... Thanks....... Trygve in Oslo

Maverick has replied ! His response is in my thread on the Talon forum ..........

Thanks a lot my friend. I am happy that you like them.........

I have done my part....... I'll leave it to him to do his........

I laugh loudly when I read Norvegian using Google either I have tried that exercise. Google did certainly not put Norwegian on top of their list of languages........ By the way, - no reply from Maverick yet......... And my comparison thread just hit 15.000 views. That's a solid 300 views today only.........

Not really ! But a comment: I need to learn Russian I think.......... Either these guys write a funny language or Google does a very bad job translating........

it agrees with Ed, I share his point of view. any has the right of a choice, helping competitors - itself dive with a stone I understand his point too...... But as I understand it, ED does not fear the competition much. And the western/US market is obviously interested in any information they can get........ Let's sit back and wait for Maverick's response......: http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss44/zocoloco/Guns/Cricket/ed75166a.jpg
