    Airforce The Last Airgun Standing: Talon P in .25

    My talon p would also be the last to get rid off. But I do enjoy my other guns more. If somehow it was down to one that’s the one.

    N/A Another newbie looking for advice

    My advise is to start with one of the higher rated lower end guns. That is what I did. 10+ years ago I started with a Marauder and a airforce Talon. Give them away when we moved. Reentered the PCP world with an Avenger X which is amazingly accurate and powerful. More recently a Daystate...

    N/A Favorite pcp air gun for survival off grid bugout ?

    I travel a lot and when you can not take your powder burner, I just recently bought a Talon P. Maybe does not quite fit the "survival" but it is better than nothing for small game hunting and keeping a threat at least 30 yards away. Airforce Airguns are the only PCP I have never had a leak with...

    Airforce Great Customer Service!

    My first PCP was a airforce Talon over 10+ years ago. Gave to a friend when we moved. Just bought a new Talon P and the spin lock wrench was missing. Less than 12 hours after I emailed I received an email from Rachel that its on its way to my address. I second the good customer service. They are...

    FX Just got back into PCP's after more than a decade break

    Welcome back, I was in the same boat, many years ago, more than a decade probably I had a Marauder. Then sold it and only kept my springers. Now that I am older I am more flexible with work and life commitments so I am back in the PCP world. Started with an Avenger X and then bought a Daystate...

    Daystate Why is the Daystate Blackwolf scope mount different front and back?

    I didn't, started it first to see if there is something specific about the rear mount. Then after put a note on the Owners Thread to see what other people measure on their rail. Check the dates and it would have been clear chronologically.

    Thanks. It sure looks like mine is just defective from factory. I sent It to AOA today.

    mine are narrower than. Especially the rear. Thanks for measuring.

    The width should be the same. Most rings now fit both by using the narrower crossbar.

    That shouldn’t be. I can not think of a valid reason to manufacture a rail narrower than the spec. since my mount was supposed to be temporary I tightened it only to 18 or 20 in lb.

    Daystate Blackwolf owners discussion

    I used Monstrum pro, Barrett rings from my 50 cal powder burner and 2 short picatinny rings I had as spares that do not have a manufacturer mark. All of these rings have worked fine on other guns.

    Daystate Blackwolf owners discussion

    Good evening everyone, I just posted on a separate thread about my Blackwolf rear scope mount being loose. First I thought it is a different rail since it looks different but then I realized that 4 different rings are loose on the rear and tight on the front rails section. My measurements seem...

    Daystate Why is the Daystate Blackwolf scope mount different front and back?

    Update to my post above, I measured with width of the front and rear rail section and they do NOT appear to be the same. The measurements are attached. I am not the best mechanic but this difference appears pretty substantial. The front section is about 20.80 mm and the rear is quite a bit...

    Daystate Why is the Daystate Blackwolf scope mount different front and back?

    I have had my Blackwolf now for a few weeks and still struggle to put a scope on it. Strangly none of the scope mounts I bought or had fit the rear rail. The front seems like a normal Picatinny but the rear is always loose, no matter what rings. I even took off my Barrett expensive rings and it...

    Well, seems arbitrary, another poster said the 17 does not come with extra springs. Kind of hard to understand why one would and another would not. I think I will email AOA and ask them if I should have received extra springs.
