[Nooyen T]

Mine is a huben power cricket I just spun the top of it off n used just the reg part

Not a o ring a rubber washer in a metal one.. Called a Dowty washer..

Speaking of Airforce I’m try to do a custom condor project n I’m having hard time getting my reg in the right position. Any suggestions on how to get it to clock where I want it?

I bought m18 washers of varying thickness from AliExpress. Then used them as shims.

I've been using that setup (and a couple others) for a while. I had my .22 Talon with 18 inch barrel at around 200 bar, H&N Barracuda Match 21gr and got 1100FPS. Set to 1500psi and I get 850FPS

The .25 Condor with 24 inch barrel and 31gr Barracuda went supersonic at 200bar. Set to around 1750psi to get 850FPS.

Big plenum, big hammer, big spring, high flow tophat they do put out a lot of power.

The Cricket Max-ATH 50cc plenum does almost as well as the 120cc tube plenum on the .25.

24 inch barrel is a big upgrade. Now i want to try a 32 inch barrel but not sure the .257 barrel can be used on the utility platform.

Don’t quote me but I believe I’ve seen a few in .257. But not 32 inches. I was thinking about a Texan barrel n have the breech end milled to fit my condor. I think I can still get 30”.

24 inch .25 Talon at 1750psi with the MAX-ATH and JTS 25.39GR
(Forgot to set the weight to 1.65g)

Put probably 25 rounds and only heard 923 or 927.

.25 Condor, 24 inch barrel, Max-ATH set to 1750psi, JTS 33.8gr

The fact you can run a .25 at 1750psi and fire a heavy pellet consistently at 850FPS sure proves the worth of big plenums.

It’s 34 but the breech end is different so it would need a little machine work to fit in a condor. I’ve never handled one but the diameter is same as condor. So if you machine the breech end down to fit. I think you should get close to 30”

Talon Tunes sells the .257 in 24" but no stock. Doug Noble used to sell them but I didnt dig around.
