Project TalonP Take Down Rifle
Alright, I posted the original topic in the TalonP channel but aint getting any buzz over there…not a single reply so I’m going to do take two here 🙂
If anyone is interested in the original post and why I decided to go with this pistol go here http://www.talonairgun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=36215.
This post will mostly focus on v2.0 of this project. Just to provide some insight about my decision to purchase this rifle is because since I purchased my M-Rod in .25, I was hooked! The PCP bug hit me and ever since then, I have been left wanting to practice and execute my hobby on a regular basis. My only permission is in a private school and ONLY on weekends EARLY in the morning AND only on rooftops…which is cool with me. But the M-Rod is a terrible rifle to carry on the down-low and proved to be too heavy and too clunky to be carrying around in and out of roof-top hatches and access panels. Here is we the TalonP Take Down Rifle, ok its not a rifle I know, but here is where it comes into play.
This little sucker is 23.25 inches long when fully assembled without a shroud and around 36 inches when fully assembled with spin-loc tank and shoulder stock. The coolest part of it all is that I can simply remove the spin-loc tank from the frame and it breaks down to a total length of 18″ when fully disassembled. That means that it is modular and backpackable. The whole thing fits inside a Milwaukee Jobsite backpack that I scored off big box auction site for a steal.
The take down portion of this build mostly pertains to the knurled bolts that I used to replace the set screws at the muzzle cap, spin-loc collar and shoulder stock. But removing the set screws and installing the knurled bolts, I do not have to carry tools to take down the pistol in order to store it and even better, I do not need to use tools to put it back together. I just tighten or loosen the bolts and we are good to go.
I’ve used it in this configuration on a daily basis for the past 2 weeks with malfunctions or signs of fatigue on the materials. Further testing will dictate the outcome.
I will shut up and post pics now 🙂
