Hi Guys
I finally got it all started. Doug is going to put together package for me ( 32 in barrel – valve-hammer -spring and bushing ) . Meantime I got a Maddog Raptor long stock – Aeon 6×24 scope-carbon fiber bottle. I also built a aluminum trigger shoe and 5in front rail and a stainless bolt handle. I am waiting for Nick to do some testing on some new molds then I will buy my bullets from him. So as soon as Doug has time to put together my parts I am ready . More to come. JD.
I have a wife so my set up is in the garage :winkn: I have a 35 yard layout. But my tree rat tree is about 75 yards out. Keep us informed I am thinking of going bigger then a .25 condor ss also.
Hi Guys
Just wanted to say thanks to all who responded to my post . I got my starting questions answered for now . Now I need to start rounding up parts as they become available . I will post more as the project go’s on . I am sure I will have more questions. I really enjoy these AF guns they are a little ruff and finicky but they are made in the USA and once you get them a little tuned and learn how to hold them repeatedly !!!!!! they shoot awesome and there is no end to the mods you can do. I have spent way to many hours fabricating parts and pieces .i machined a lower frame stiffener out of 9/16 aluminum plate as close as I could to a 1911 lower it turned out pretty nice for my amount of talent. I was able to hide the big safety in the upper front trigger guard with just enough sticking out ether side to operate it safely . The condors have been sitting a lot the last 2 or 3 months because I got a Talon P WOW such power and accuracy with a 12 inch barrel . I have a 100 yard range out my kitchen window .3 airforce rifles in a rack and great white bottle on kitchen bar ( I am single !! ) also 75 yard range with 32 metal spinners off of my sun deck and 100 yard center fire range below my barn ( I live on a ranch in the country) so I shoot a lot daily. Back to the talon P WOW it is harder to shoot than the condors with the 12 inch barrel but with a good hold I think it is as accurate as my condors at 100 yards and for sure at 50 yards .Starlings out to 100 yards are in trouble my longest starling with condor is 151 yards with condor. These guns are amazing everytime I show somebody how one of them shoot they are blown away hell I am still blown away they are addicting I haven’t even started my SS to 257 build yet and I am thinking about a talon p 30 or 35 cal Polymag monster!!!! who knows ???. Anyway Thanks again I have learned more from this forum than I ever thought possible about airguns and everything envolved. Thanks again John

well I got my bullets from Nick and they look awesome still waiting on some parts (All GREAT things take TIME ) to finish rifle. The gun I am converting is a 25 SS that I have shot about 2500 to3000 pellets through . I put the Maddog stock on it and shot about 350 pellets through it in the last 2 weeks (over 350 JSBs in 1 Sunday -3 guns ) anyway the big difference is almost no flyers and nice tight groups. You can hold the gun loose or hang on to it like a magnum PB and it still shoots in the same hole needless to say I am very happy with the stock.. On another note I have read a lot of people that are not super happy with the accuracy of their Airforce guns and I couldn’t be more HAPPY I sat down and shot with 2 friends last weekend I shot my TT 24in condor tethered at 28oo psi. They shot a Cooper 17hmr and a custom Ruger No 1 in 17 Hornet both very sweet rifles. at 100 yards the condor held its own within 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch larger groups than they were shooting and that makes me HAPPY. Anyway more to come as I get parts. Thanks JD
