Airforce Help disassembling Airforce Condor

[nineballer]

Hi, I'm new here, and I need some help disassembling a Condor that I bought at a local auction. I got an amazing deal on it, but it must have been left in someone's garage because I can see some small rust-colored spots on some of the internals. It probably needs to be disassembled and cleaned. I can remove the barrel, but I don't know how to remove the other internals (It's not on YouTube). Also, I've heard that I should not use oil on the internals, so can someone advise me on how to treat these spots?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Charles

You have the barrel out?

To get the power wheel and spring out you need to remove the tiny screw that indicates where the wheel is set.

Careful putting it back in, just plastic.

I just removed the barrel and that indicator screw but the wheel and spring aren't coming out. Any tips?

Thanks

Mmm, that should be it.

The barrel come out with those 4 set screws. There is a rubberish washer, a white plastic ring, the wheel, another white plastic and the spring and hammer. Should fall out the front. Wiggle the wheel around with your fingers. Did the rubber washer come out with the barrel? Maybe it’s hanging up?

There ain’t nothin else there.

Thank you, it was really stuck in there, but I got them out.

Yeah, the great advantage of the AirForce guns is simplicity. 5 screws and 10 minutes a .177 12 inch becomes a .25 24 inch.

Upgrades are easy. You can upgrade parts to the point of slinging .25 25.4g pellets supersonic.

If you are going to upgrade Trajectron.com has a very big selection of hammers and other parts like moderator adapters. Ship from India via DHL. So it is less a week usually to get your parts.

Huben Power is my goto for regulators. MAX-ATH and a high flow tophat is a huge upgrade.

What do y'all use to lube AF guns? I've tried lubing the trigger/safety area with Triflow and it makes for a much nicer trigger, but I understand such oily lubes aren't recommended. Graphite did nothing for the trigger, but made the hammer and breech slide easier. A coat of car wax on the thin part breech end of the barrel also made it slide easier. A used gun I bought had goopy, sticky lube inside and that was NOT good; had to clean all that out.
Any tips?

I go with clean and dry. As far as making it lighter, I installed two lighter springs and a trigger with a roller bearing.
Pretty good, but not like my AA or Mrod.
