Condor ss safety problem ...

I had this problem awhile back when I owned my CondorSS. Try pushing the cocking lever forward with a little extra oomph, it worked for me.

The safety on my Condor was kind of flaky for the first couple hundred shots. Work the bolt like you mean it when cocking it. Don't baby it, and it should get better.

Yes Joe is right. Push the docking knob forward harder. There is one more click to be had and it will work fine.

This may help.

If you have a condor ss then I assume you have the newer style safety with the little toggle link. I just removed the toggle and then you can still use the safety but it will be manual instead of automatic. Much better.

For the newer wide plate type safety, Not the red cap wire pin first gen type. The delrin cocking breech ware down or little bits of plastic crack off from contacting the safety cam ( toggle ) Or it could be the trigger plate bottom Allen screw right behind the forearm grip. If it is too tight the bolt will not lock open to load breech. If you remove the automatic safety toggle take the trigger plate off and push out the Top Pin that is closest to the bottom of breech in the frame. Only has to be pushed out half way and the toggle will fall out. The pin push out is from Right side to Left side with gun up right. Then you can hold open bolt and de-cock gun without wasting air and a pellet

Hey Randy,

How did you remove the toggle?

Many may disagree with this point of view but on a simple single shot rifle that is easily decocked (if safety mechanism is removed), decocking vs. depending on a mechanical safety seems like a good idea. Neither of my Condors have a fucntioning safety and I prefer it that way.

you could send it back to Airforce, it has a life time warranty, or call them and get a gun tech on the phone to talk you through the fixing process....

They, AirForce, will not talk you through the reassembly because they would have no control or inspection of what is being done on the other end of the phone, this due to potential liability. AF will advise you to ship the rifle to them and if not covered under warrantee, meaning you took it apart, they will charge you $65.00 and return postage to fix it.



Happened to me while changing a hammer spring on my Texan LSS, everyone said, on video’s, do not tip the rifle on its side while the trigger plate off, I did and regretted it.

Darn I'm bad at searching old forums but for the safety (which is ALSO your anti bear trap device, do NOT fire w/breech not latched) maybe:
