    Airforce IS AIRFORCE GAINING POPULARITY AGAIN?

    been trying to check on those Indonesia air guns.. the 6 shot pistol looks similar to the evanix ar6.. but I just come up with dead ends the magazine on the airforce looks nice too because I fumble pellets.. oh well Mark

    Airforce IS AIRFORCE GAINING POPULARITY AGAIN?

    I was shooting Zan 40 grain slugs 217.. and H&N 40 grain slugs 217.. couldn't tell any difference between them other than zan slugs are less money.. I found one that dug into the ground.. hollow point completely flat end.. Mark

    I should have said more about the compressor, if you are just filling the notos I'd get a GX duel battery compressor.. it's got auto stop.. my favorite scope ever is fairly cheap and very bright inside.. https://nwtacticalgear.com/shop/ols/products/acog-4x32-scope-red-reticle-crosshair Mark

    also if you want to retain it's power, would make it heavier but if I was to go regulated the gun would stay standard Condor SS and then put a 700 cc bottle on the bottom dovetail and it would be a regulated bottle set at 3000 PSI.. or 2800 PSI if you are shooting less than 22 caliber.. Mark

    no at least with the Condor's.. but you might need to get a talon tunes drop-down..or maybe it's just too wide of cheek bone I have? also if I was getting a Texan, it would be a Texan lss in 308.. better selection of ammo..id shoot spire point boat tail. Mark

    Airforce IS AIRFORCE GAINING POPULARITY AGAIN?

    I just sold my Condor SS 22 caliber new in October last year.. $400 yes you are right.. my biggest issue with it was the tank is too high for my cheek.. so I had to use extra tall rings and risers to see through the scope.. and that puts the scope 2" above the barrel.. they really need to come...

    you can always have the last inch turned off a factory barrel and recrowned.. PM me if you want that, it's easy with a lathe and I've always gotten very good crowns.. PS.. it will only cost you postage and just the barrel.. Mark

    lots of people will say that you have to get after market magazine.. might have been true for them but I had 4 good working factory magazine.. no problem with them.. I'd look at the GX compressor line.. if you are not minding hand pump then you could look at that but I wouldn't myself use a hand...

    Airforce Is Airforce Talon .177 (no P, no SS) backyard friendly if I tune it down to 700-750 fps ?

    well yeah you definitely need a moderator for the 24 barrel in a SS.. and actually I think the longer frame of the SS is better so you don't have as much unsupported barrel..I was not impressed with the front barrel bushing on the regular Condor, was not snug so if you accidentally rested the...

    Airforce Is Airforce Talon .177 (no P, no SS) backyard friendly if I tune it down to 700-750 fps ?

    the stock Condor ring lock valve that comes on them now is plenty..I shot my 22 caliber 24" barrel with a 14 grain pellets at full power and it was doing 1400 fps.. with the power wheel at 12.. and it was still shooting supersonic the 25 grain JSB pellets.. I forgot but I think the JSB 34 grain...

    Airforce Is Airforce Talon .177 (no P, no SS) backyard friendly if I tune it down to 700-750 fps ?

    yes I only own 22 caliber guns.. would like to be able to shoot 177 but I'm in the same situation as you, I just can't handle 177 except for once I loaded a friend's hatsan jet with JSB beasts, they were long enough to barely handle. Mark
