Tuning Best way to Regulate an Air Force Condor?

[kaylaindy]

Hi, I may buy this gun. A .22 cal Air Force Condor. 

What is the easiest or best way to make this regulated?

I would be interested in the cheapest option, the most accuraste (best) option, and one with an external adjuster. 

If there is one that is known to be the best performance, I would go with that one, regardless of the price.

I am wondering if the RTI regulator fit, though it would of course space out the bottle some.

Altaros sells condor regulators. It was underpowered in my .25

Trinity maker has a ton of great experience with this, he's been a powerhouse of knowledge for me. When the funds allow I'll be going with his recommendations but at the moment I've had to utilize what I have.

I have a couple of 68cc paintball tanks from years ago, I've purchased a couple of the inexpensive regulators (the ones I have can only be adjusted by changing shims) and I tether the tank to the gun with a long hose which somewhat makesup for the lack of plenum space in these regulators.

Let me find the link to his post on him finding a good way to find the sweet spot on these guns.

Trying to have a regulator in a condor without the gun looking weird or a difficult length of pull the most powerful regulator is the v3 from pcp tunes but you will need a 350cc carbon bottle to stay in the appropriate length of pull..really consistent reg but the small bottle limits your shots...so I opted to use a inline reg n tether my gun .. I found it to be the less complicated option... for pellet the huma reg will do the trick..for 40+g slugs .. would be interesting to see if the in line huma performs..I have one of those condor ss coming soon on a trade for a buid .

Be careful if get something from PCP tunes they were having trouble with a regulator or something for air force that wasn't safe to use it came apart under pressure don't remember what it was though the guy that I'd talk to would be Doug Noble if he still works on them I don't know but he knows his stuff when it comes to air force valves

Yup .. one regulator blow in to pieces.. when left unattended during a fill who leaves a gun filling by it self .. when he enters the room again it blows in to pieces..so there no way to tell for sure what happened.. n that incident spread like fire like the Holly truth .. I personally didn't give a dam so I purchased 2 used for a time but didn't like the feel of the gun.. but as consistency goes there is nothing better.. in the video review of the product you could see in the numbers the consistency n acurracy..but it makes the gun to long n uncomfortable.. a guy tuning a Crosman pistol had the gun blown in to pieces n a part of the air tube got stuck in his leg almost to the point of going through..I don't see people don't buying the pistols or stop modified saying that the pistols are made from bad materials.. it was his mistake n he paid for it .. at the time that happend everyone jumped to the talking trash train .. but who had come with a solution a few years had passed by n who have offered a so call better product.. no body.. they have sold hundreds more n i have not heard another similar incident.. same as I have not heard of another pistol blowing in pieces...Rimlock valve should be good for heavy pellets n same weight as the heavy pellets slugs.. but for heavy lead only the Doug Valve will do..

PCP Tunes has a V3 Regulator with a larger Plenum than most regs out there.

Drop in a heavy hammer and roll.

Triple digit fpe really breaks things in .25.

Doug Nobles is still around here,take his advice to the bank on all Airforce platforms.
