Q:

Anyone rebarrel a Condor/Talon in .17HMR?

Or would this caliber be a waste of time and effort?

Regards,

Tony

That’s what I gathered as well. The firearm comment was a joke.

I’ve come to believe that jacketed projectiles are no good in airguns, regardless. They’re too hard and use too much of the air’s energy to expell. You MIGHT find a solid lead .17 slug but I personally have never seen one. Then again, I’ve never looked for one.

.17 HMR? Would be rather difficult to turn this airgun into a firearm. 🙂

As you said, I think it would be a waste of time. The 17HMR bullets availabe will all be jacketed. A .177 pellet is a bit larger diam than the HMR.
