Regulated Talon SS?
I am interested in what Talon owners that have installed a regulator in their Talon have to say about the results.
I am also trying to find out “why?” no Air Force air rifles are being used in field Target..and; has anyone Relocated the air tank to the front [forearm area]? ❗ At the present moment; I don’t understand why that has not been done, I don’t think that it would be anymore “weird” than some of the mods that have taken place with some of the 78’s and 79’s…lol
Thanks in advance for your experienced reply,
Later, GeraldinGa

Do I put more springs in to raise the output?
maw; sounds as if you want to skip some study/research. To answer your question: If u left out the spring washers; you may have less powerful full power shots, unless you completely gut the regulator, as the valve would provide Some restriction—I’m trying to guess what your purpose is. Most talon SS owners are more interested in accuracy than absolute power…You may want to post in the Condor section. I; personally, am more interested in more shots with less variation between shots, which a regulator does provide. [Although a reg does limit absolute high velocity] Later, Gerald
I am shooting a 25.4 JSB 25 cal at 535fps, 16.4 ft. lbs. of energy. I would like to know if I took the belleville washers out would I eliminate the reg. and have straight pressure, or a little less?
airgunsoftulsa; I have a .177 with an 18″ barrel; somewhere on here I found a post about adding a tank [bsa 200] behind the action, just the opposite of what I am thinking of. It didn’t look bad at all, since most of it [connecting parts] was covered by a stock.
Marc; I have been “experimenting” with an elevation compensator; so the dovetail is adjusted up/down instead of using the scope dials…the rear of a scope has to move a very small amount up/down to adjust for all trajectory, depending on pellet weight/velocity…up/down .070″ would take care of a 10 meter air rifle to 50 yards, for example. [depending on scope height, of course.]
Most scopes range find pretty good, up close..[10-35 yards] and with a higher scope height the trajectory can be adjusted to have a “sweet spot” at longer ranges, so very little elevation adjustment needed. The downside of that; is that a good level must be watched very much at close range. 🙂 Thanks for the replies,

The ft question is probably due to the big scope/bore distance. Once you get to the close ranges you need lots of adjustment to correct it.
Cheers,

I’ve got a Altaros on my SS in .22 but I have installed an 18” barrel. It added about 3” to the OAL. I’ve got it set up shooting JSB 18.1 at 865 and I’m getting about 80 shots with a SD of less than 8.
A regulated SS with the factory 12″ barrel would still get you a whole bunch of shots depending on caliber. 😉
I have no idea on the FT question.
The forearm bottle is a great concept and there has been some concept drawings posted somewhere on TAG but the plumbing would probably look like it come off of Uncle Hoot’s portapotty. 😯 😆

Besides, if you want all power, just put a standard AF condor valve in and sell one of us the Reg! 😉
One word of advice though. You can’t miss fast enough to make super power in a pellet gun worth while. Pellets DO NOT shoot accurately at high velocity. Regardless of what those idiots at Gamo say. 🙄
