Pyramid sells a 177 and a 22 caliber high flo tanks and valve. Are there any difference in the valve in the different calibers? Thanks for reply,, Ben

This is where I think AF has totally fucked up.

I bought a new Talon tank from MidwayUsa. Problem was it was for a Condor hammer weight. No way to tell the difference, the AF packaging was labeled incorrectly…

So now I have a tank with a Talon valve that isn’t even with in 200 fps in velocity with the same top hat settings as my other Talon valve… I can’t get the velocities to be close to equal at all.

No retailers know the difference and I don’t think AF even knows what is going on, it was their packaging that was wrong. Either that or the product was crap. So basically quality control at AF is crap no matter which way you slice it.

What good is a rifle that can be interchanged if the interchangeable parts don’t work like they are supposed to or are sold as something they are not?

So basically you could have a Talon tank that was mislabeled as a Condor tank with the Talon valve and the Talon valve spring. Or you could have any combination of the different types of valves and springs… Who the fuck knows when AF doesn’t even make it clear.

The top hat is what is opposite of the end of the barrel when you load a pellet into the rifle. If you stand the tank on end the silver part looks kind of like a tophat… 😉

ya i will use same 24″ barrel length, btw which one is called “Top Hat” could you send the picture? And could it been set? How? Please explain Thanks a lot before Bro Lurker

Go to the quick reference and spend some time there. You will find much good info there. You will leave there a wiser man.

Thunder, the quick answer is yes. The longer answer is yes but…tank PSI, barrel length and pellet weight are also variables to be considered. Then to, adjustment of the Power Wheel and Top Hat may help in fine tuning to get the optimum velocity. You have a lot of options.

I have .20 hi-flo condor, if i change with .177 barrel, can i get higher velocity for the same power wheel? Please info

The spring in the 177 is alittle stronger it could be used on a 22 caliber gun.

wonder if it could be used to advantage of lock time and consequently shot count?(i got a 177 tank that is now decimated and im trying to salvage the valve…)

Def. worth a shot. Try it and let us in on the results. T.I.A.

will do… 😎

Yes, the valve is the same, but the spring is different. If you use the .22 version with a .177 barrel, you will likely end up having the tank dump. The back pressure in the .177 barrel won’t let the valve close on the .22 version. Pretty exciting the first time you do it. 🙂

If they’re both Hi-Flo, the difference is in the spring.
