Not starting off on a good foot with the Condor
Wow.. …what looked to be a promising gun is going south quickly.
Accuracy has declined dramatically. One good group followed by a terrible one. Thought it was me but aiming at the bull, the pellet on one target goes right by a mil dot then on a second target, pellet goes left or up by at least a mil dot.
Tore the gun apart…no clipping…..but,there was what i think was massive leading at the muzzle. cleaned but leading still there. lapped the barrel and reassembled. shot some groups, better but still crazy POI shifts.
heard a loose baffle in the barrel and took things apart. could barely get the set screw for the end cap off. Looks like a pellet tore apart the thrust washer at the front baffle and there’s a mark at he back of the end cap like a pellet hit it. Anyway need to order a replacement thrust washer and cap and set screw. Great way to start….may fault though.
Does anyone have a picture of the order of component in the shroud? is there an orientation to the final thrust washer? obviously there is.
I have pictures but no time to post before leaving for work then vacation..
help, not real happy……

I just read Tony’s Baffle Orientation post and I realize that I failed to install the baffle stop screw first. I installed afterwards so there was a lot of slop at the front end and hence the damaged wave washer. I’m surprised that there’s little info on this sort of thing….A big thanks to Tony on this one.
Also a big thanks to AF AG for being so cool in helping me out, and sending parts out under warranty even though I told them that it was screw up on my part.

I got this group out of my .25 Condor with benji domes at 25 yards., They are definitely nice rifles.Mine is not all that pellet fussy and it will shoot way faster than you need to for a pellet.I have mine shooting the eunjins 43.2gn around 925fps and they are pretty accurate.
Is it a condor ss? Tony just made a post about the order of the baffles in the ss.

I had the exact thing happen to me after I installed a new TT Hammer… Also had the same great reponse from Air Force… From what I can tell as a NOOB to this PCP air gun stuff, this is pretty typical of AF.
