edgun r3m .25

Looks like a bundle of FUN!
Somebody who knows the history of Edgun can probably speak to this better than I, but as I remember hearing the story, Ed did this on purpose. They marked the gun .22 cal but the gun was really .25 cal. The reason if memory serves was that they were to get them thru customs? Seems the .22 was acceptable but the .25 was going to prove to be some kink of logistics nightmare? I am thinking that there was some Russian law that they were trying to skirt by and this was how they did it. Anyone else know the facts on this?

Looks like it should clean up well. Can't wait to see the gun in action! Something just………..unique about that stock!
Hope it's a good one for you.

Congrats! My R3M .25 is also labeled as a .22 cal. If I recall this was done for import reasons since a .25 would attract unnecessary attention back then. It's an afterthought now since many manufacturers are importing/exporting .25/.30 on the regular. It's hard to mistaken a .25 cal magazine to a .22 one. In my opinion a .25 cal pellet is huge compared to a .22 cal pellet. The larger pellets are much easier and quicker to load so that's a big plus.
