    Tuning Airforce Texan .457 TX2 Valve Removal

    Yeah, Applying heat to aluminum or steel expands & there's mathematical coefficients you can use in order to machine parts to have an interference fit, aircraft turbine PT shafts come to mind. However Carbon fiber in a matrix of epoxy is the opposite it shrinks when heated, so it'd be real easy...

    Tuning Airforce Texan .457 TX2 Valve Removal

    Reedmosser, Around 1/3 to 1/2 the factory torque, having the correct jig in which to hold an assembly in order to apply torque at the correct angle, is something we simply can't do. This Texan LSS .457 was hands down the worst tank I've ever had to remove. I made one of the collar removal...

    I've got an order from Huma back in late January. It made it through customs & then released to UPS next Day Air Saver only to show "Damage Reported" That was around Feb. 3rd I've been waiting ever since for someone to tell me anything, nothing but crickets. It's been my experience, int'l...

    Tuning Airforce Texan .457 TX2 Valve Removal

    Okay so what is the trick to getting the valve off one the carbon fiber tanks? I've got a removal tool but no matter what I do that valve isn't moving in the less bit. Was thinking about chilling the tank but it's threaded into an aluminum tank wrapped in carbon, so I doubt heating or cooling is...

    Tuning Air Force trigger mechanism assembly (newer version)

    I've looked high & low but can not find a good video or thread explaining Air Forces new trigger assembly, whether polishing can improve the trigger or safety action can be smoothed out, etc. If anyone knows of anyone who's documented this could you post a link? Thanks, Steve

    Smart Scopes

    I agree they tend to remind me of a video game, especially the ATN xSight & Thor series, however, most of the airguns with moderators don't sound like they'd hurt anything.... I've had no problems with Sig's BDX 2.0 system. I admit, I'm eaten up with Sig's system, I'm like the original fanboy...

    Smart Scopes

    I'm just curious why there isn't more talk about all the smart scopes available today? I don't think the Burris scope would work with airguns but, Sig's BDX works amazingly well & ATN's one shot zero works, as well as their ballistic calculator. For real world situations it enables airguns to...

    Tuning Newbie with Airforce Condor

    I'd prefer a 1-18 twist barrel but I suppose it's personal preference, The Talon Tune parts you can't go wrong there but shot the gun for hundreds of pellets worth (if you can afford & source the pellets) then after you got so comfortable with it, it becomes boring to shoot then set up one last...
