Condor broke today.
One year and 4 months, exactly @ 3 PM eastern daylight savings time my condor rifle broke today.
Topped Hiflo tank off to 2700 psi.
Walked around the pond, up the hill to the RailRoad Ravine. I set plastic bottles across tracks (about 30′ above and @ 40 yds) and shoot them?
Today on the 3rd shot, sounded like something sled down inside the Scope. After shaking the rifle found out it was inside the hi flo tank. Didn’t shoot any more.
Sounds like shaking a spray paint can with ball inside. 😥
Will call Airforce Monday to see what they will do? 😕
How do you vent the hpa out of a hi flo tank?
Guess I’ll dig out the oL co2 tank and adapter and shoot some LIte Pellets 8)

Before I got a Spanner, I used a piece of thick leather and a large pair of channel lock pliers.
Worked just fine.

Called Airforce and am sending to them to maintain Warranty 🙄
I don’t have a spanner wrench and don’t savvy the idea of removing the burst disc and using a screw as a lever to remove the valve 😯
I also don’t have a torque wrench 😥
BTW it’s been 85 degrees and co2 is Smoking! Tried some CP(box) JSB Jumbo express and Kodiaks. POA and POI @ 45 YDS was about .5″ elevation ? Kodiaks being low, express .5″ high. Was surprised.
Just plinking bounced Kodiaks of plastic bucket @ 100 yds 3 mil dots low.

You know what to do, right? Your just lagging?
NOt yet. Using the co2 for the time being? 😀
Sam
Did you get it fixed? You can do eeeeeeit!
Thanks Adam.

Your spring retainer nut has fallen off.
You can drain the tank by playing a penny or dime in your air fill adapter and slowly screw the tank on. It will open the valve and vent the air out.

Just let the air out of my HI flo tank and holy moe lee 😯
The Top hat/valve stem is totally Loose, stem wobbles side to side, up and down, Freely?
O ring bad/missing, Top hat falls down (open) when pulled out (shut) and released.
Seems to me the o ring should hold the valve shut (tophat out) without the spring/hpa !
No need for me to re install spring and retainer nut? 😥
Sending to AirForce for Refurb 😉
