TalonP air tank

[jmohme]

I recently purchased a TalonP. I got it primarily to deal with late night intruders in my chicken pen without waking the neighbors. The TalonP with a Talon Tunes suppressor is perfect for that task.

What I didn't count on was that this little beast was going to be so much fun to shoot, so now I am wondering if anyone makes a longer bottle for this gun to extend the shot count. I understand that a Condor bottle will work, but I would really like a longer bottle in the same diameter. The current size makes it comfortable to line up with the scope. I'm not so sure that the larger diameter bottle wouldn't make sighting a bit more awkward. I currently have it set up as a carbine and where I have the but stock positioned would allow for about 4 more inches in length.

Does anyone know if someone makes a longer bottle, or am I just as well off getting a small scuba tank to top it off ever 10 to 15 shots?

This may help.

Don't know of any longer bottles but then I never looked. I have 2 TalonPs, one in .22 and one in .20. Both have spin loc bottles and both have ring loc kits installed. Ring loc kits cost about 50 bucks. Way cheaper than a bottle. Easy to install and tune for more shots. Wish I could remember my set up as a .25. Pretty sure it was the .165 top hat with a #78 o-ring. Power wheel at 12 that should be around 825 fps or so with 25.4g. Oddly enough the original barrel shot H&N FTTs well (never had these pellets shoot well in a anything) and Predator lead free pellets even better, if you wanted highet fps.

Just do not adjust the power wheel while cocked.

I think I got at least one steel bottle at home from condor maybe 2 I no longer own a condor or talon would just need the vales pm me if you want I'll let go of them cheap

Talon Tunes sells a tank drop down adapter if you want to use a Condor bottle. I have one on a Condor SS

The Talon p tank and valve use different threading than condor. You will have to find a tank that has the same threads which will not be one of those standard air gun bottles.

A 22 cu in paintball tank is what you're looking for. It's the same diameter, just longer. You almost have to get a complete paintball tank, take the valve out, and put your TalonP valve in it. I managed to find a tank without a valve a while ago, but they're getting more difficult to find.

I think most paintball tanks have the same threads as the TalonP so there's options.

You'll like the 22 cu in if you get one. The higher shot count is nice and it doesn't make it any longer. It just takes up that empty space between the stock and the end of the factory tank.

One other thing… For some reason no matter what I try it I could never get the valve off of the talon P tank. All other AF valves have not been a challenge. Do they glue this thing on!?!

 

[Frozenspyder]

My valve came off pretty easily once I bought a valve wrench off of eBay. The handle was just a bolt and it was fairly long so I could get a good amount of leverage on it.

Now that I think about it, it did take a little more force to break loose than the valve on my Condor SS. But the valve practically fell out of that one.

Nice to have a loose AF high flow valve with the paintball threading - aren’t tanks marketed to paintball quite a bit cheaper?


I have one of those wrenches - I guess I’ll give it another try.



And what is up with $315 for a spare tank… that’s crazy

Thank You. That is exactly what I was hoping to find. I will look into that.

Thank you for that info.

That's weird. When I bought my TalonPs AirForce told me the Condor valve and the TalonP valves were the same. As long as they were both current models.

I did some digging and found a bare tank for a bit less than $40 with shipping. 

I'll let you all know how it worked out once I get it in my hands.

talon and condor have the same valve threads

the talon p has the smaller bottle with different threads

From what I understand, with the exception of the threads, the TalonP valve is the same as a Condor valve though. It flows more air than a standard Talon valve so they could still get Talon performance with the shorter barrel.
