Finished my .25 Condor with the Black Works kit!

Thought I would start a new thread regarding my Condor’s final modification after almost 10 years.

For years I have tried to make this powerful .25 feel right, as it just always felt different. Then last year I was asked by a fellow Airgunner who has a full CNC shop and also had a Condor, what did I really feel about my Condor.

I said I love the fact it is the Lego of airguns, loved the power, loved the accuracy, but for some reason it just never felt like my otherer powder burners.

So I tended to shoot it more and more from a bipod and further and further out. I have a stock and 858cc bottle, a .25 LW barrel, and a heavy brass hammer. Added 20mm rails as the 11m stock rails just didn`t look right, and could not accept 20mm accessories without an adapter.

I installed a forward grip, but could do nothing with the tank as far as adding accessories to make it feel more like a real gun. I have seen flimsy buttstocks, cheesy buttstocks, and ugly buttstocks, but no mono pods…. I love monopods when it comes to bipod shooting hands down.

Today we put together a desert tan kit on another Condor today, and then did some shooting!

WOW!!!

The barrel sleeve has o rings that can be filled with oil or not for harmonics I guess, the front grips are so solid, and actually hold accessories like a real feeling gun, the buttstock is a dream, rock solid, and has a monopod option for adjustments, instead of using bags or your hand underneath!!

The final part will be a beefy trigger guard assembly to complete this high quality kit.
Is it an earth shattering assembly of parts that make the Condor into a incredible airgun, ah no. Is it a kit that bolts on with little modification and makes this platform just feel right, yes it does. 😛 Just to be clear, this kit adds to overall ergonomics, which is what makes any gun you shoot better!

I had no idea what expensive CNC machines are capable of, but I can say these components are light years ahead of cheap, out of spec, Chinese bolt on parts. Yeah sure I have a Chinese scope and bipod, but the rest is North American!

These kits will be made available shortly from Black Works, will carry a lifetime warranty for defects just like the Condor, try to find this with ANY airgun!

Have no pricing yet, the website is being worked on, and I hope to convince him to expand into other airgun parts and services, as he is a licensed machinists with a well equipped large shop.

I am helping him out as I have some computer skills but it`s not my company just to be very clear, mkay.

And the Condor made to feel and shoot like a beefy platform it should be:

And my Condor finished!
