Quick question
Ok, so I have both a Talon SS and Condor SS. When I went out for first shoots of my guns my Talon (for my kids to shoot with me) did a tank dump after the eighth shot. My kids are anxious to shot their talon,but now we have to wait for a new tank to arrive. What would be the effect of putting the Condor tank on the Talon. my understanding is that the Condor tank has higher flow valving, but the Talon has a lighter hammer, maybe weaker spring? So if I put the higher flow tank on the Talon what happens?

I’m not 100% as I don’t own an AF yet, but an Airgun valve is an Airgun valve.
From what I can tell, the main difference is in the hole diameter in the tophat.
I don’t believe there is any restriction differences where the valve check is inside the tank.
I really don’t k ow how much (if any) lighter the Talon hammer is compared to the Condor.
Just put it on the Talon and shoot it. Nothing bad will happen, you may just get poor performance.
You will know right away if the hammer isn’t cracking the valve open far enough just based on how it sounds. If you have a chronograph thats even better so you can see what’s going on.
Performance should increase as the fill pressure drops as it will be easier for the lighter (???) hammer to overcome the backpressure inside the tank and open the valve for a longer duration (in milliseconds).
I hope that helped clarify the ‘why’ & ‘how’.
Get them kids addicted to shooting!!!

Even with the lighter hammer it will dump too much air? Then I will shoot with the tank on my Condor until it gets down to 2000 and then swap it over to the Talon and let them shoot. Thanks for the reply.
You dump a lot of air per shot for a 12″ barrel and maybe shoot the pellet too fast to be very accurate.
Try a low pressure fill (2000 psi) and turn the power wheel down all the way and see what happens.
The worst case is you will do a lot of pumping and it may not be all that accurate – but I say get those kids shooting it!

Thanks, I am going to give it a try. The kids have a little Crossman Raven that they shoot in the back yard pretty successfully, but I want to take them ground squirrel hunting and they need a little more reach then the Raven will give them. I like that they have learned to shoot with open sights though. Personally I think everyone should learn to shoot open sights first. By the way I have peen pretty impressed with the Raven for a cheap backyard plinker, it does really well out to about 20 yards.
