Introducing the E-TaCREG
Guys,
Well, here she is. (I apologize for the washout in the first few pictures, it really is black)
I am proud to introduce the E-TaCREG; the second generation American made Ergonomic Talon and Condor Adapter (E-TaC) Adapter.
This newest member of the E-TaC family allows the user to install a high-pressure-air (HPA) tank and JDSAirman (www.jdsairman.com) regulator on an Airforce Talon or Condor rifle and enjoy all the benefits of a regulated airgun.
Any JDSAirman regulator can be used, regardless of output pressure.
Custom designed to accept only the lower half of the JDSAirman regulator allows for a shorter length of pull than using the entire regulator. The size of the regulated-air chamber is increased and located closer to the valve with less flow restrictions between the airsource and pellet meaning more power per shot and higher regulator efficiency than any other regulator-to-Airforce adapter.
Benefits of a regulated airgun include: increased shot count and consistent shot to shot velocity (standard deviation (S.D. around 5). The E-TaCREG provides the comfort and ergonomic benefits of the E-TaC’s cast-off and drop. The regulator has a built-in tank pressure gauge and male foster nipple for quick-fill convenience.
The E-TaCREG and JDSAirman regulator will increase the chosen bottle’s length of pull by 3.5-inches. When used with a 48-cubic-inch tank the overall length of pull will be 12.75-inches. Almost the same as a stock Airforce rifle. Although the high-pressure tanks have a larger diameter, the E-TaCREG accommodates this with it’s cast-off and drop ensuring a perfect cheekweld and head position.
Available in right hand, left hand, and straight angled drop. They are made of steel and black oxide finished.
The E-TaCREG will work with any Airforce valve, as well as any aftermarket valve with an in-tank length of less than 1 7/16-inches. Performance cannot be guaranteed with aftermarket valves. Only JDSAirman regulators will work with the E-TaCREG. These American made regulators have the high-quality, consistent internal dimensions and quality controls required to base another product upon. Cheaper, offshore regulators can be of questionable quality, consistency, and flow properties. I choose JDSAirman because I believe in his products, I think you will find they are excellent regulators and the E-TaCREG complements them very nicely.
I will be taking more pictures and putting together a full instruction manual for the installation of the E-TaCREG on the regulator.
The E-TaCREG retails for $90 shipped CONUS. You will need to get a JDS Airman regulator and have a Airforce valve and tank with 5/8-18UNF threads.
The Airforce tank regulator is forthcoming.
Thank you all (especially the forum owner and mods) for your support and allowing me to provide this product to you.
As always, my products come with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
Regards,
Jim

Ahh the regulated set up, i still havent set up a tank for my condor, I was all excited when the first wave of reg s started , then i have been busy as hell, and havent got around to it,
i want to set up one of the larger 48 ci or 62 ci tanks with a reg like 1900 or 2100, dont really know which would be what i need.
I will get around to it,
here is a pic on the air force with the carbon fiber 4500 psi tank
linfo from air hog
you dont have to use the co2 adapter any more wtih the etac system, this pic is with the air force co2 adapter i think
this is early info from them , have not heard what they are dong now, or if at all,
i really dont shoot as much as i did when i first bought my condor, so my set up s for short string work perfect for what i do now, pretty much make sure gun is sighted on, and kill stuff, 🙂
But i will get interested in the reg set up again, to shoot the most consistent for target work you have to work hard and keep a short string for like 10 shot s at peak performance with the condor.
you could do what ever you wanted with a regulated air force i think, i havent done this yet , but for a short string i have, and the air force condor can shoot just as good or better than most all the higher priced guns out there. If you have the will and or patience to super tune the gun with out a regulator. 😀
and i am pretty sure that with a reg gun it would take all most all the work out and make a easy very consistant gun for longer strings.
ok, you got my attention. a4500 psi. tank w/reg. now for the real brain twister. does anyone manufacture a 4500 psi. tank that is the same size or say 1/2 an inch larger in diameter than the AF tank, and if so, who????
I got the Air Hog 4500 psi tank and reg about 4 years ago. IIRC, it got around 100 shots with 18.1 grain JSB 22 cal at 890 fps. I was very impressed with the Air Hog setup.
I got to shoot a couple of fills thru it and THEN my first Edgun Matador arrived. I loved it!
I didn’t try tuning the Condor anymore and ended up selling it. The buyer didn’t want the Air Hog setup. He thought that the tank was too big and bulky.
I have a lot of gently used air guns and stuff that I should post on the for sale, I am just too lazy, I guess!
Thin washers that you use to pack between the frame and e-tac. Allows you to get correct position once the e-tac is tightened up.
Got one on the way, but not sure if I understand what shimming is? If anyone can explain this to me in simpledom, fire away….
Seems to give the best accuracy, velocity, and shot count. You really need to know what velocity your rifle is most accurate at before choosing an output pressure.
Shoot over the chrony and see what velocity they start to bunch up at, and then let me help you find the psi that will match that velocity.

Jim
What output pressure is probably the best for 100 yrd. competition? Using stock Condor and 18 grn. JSB’s.
Jim
Ooohh yummy!!
Jim
Ok, we stay tuned. It will be a pleasure to connect a 4500 psi tank to a 2500 or 3000psi regulator and shoot. and shoot
I felt kind of out of place considering the avatars that are posted here…now they are a big tease…and most of them are about 1 second too short.
LOL.
Jim
You big tease….. 😀
Stay tuned…there’s something in the mix.
Jim
would be great if this regulator would work with the E-TaCREG
for my 2000 or 1800 psi output would already be enough
but i woult love to be able to fill up my bottle higer for a lot of good shot’s 😀
Air hogg has 4500psi to 2200 psi reg set up.
They sent this to me after i ask about there system .

Dear Bryan,
Attached is some info on our HPA tank system for the Airforce line.
We hope to have them available early next year.
Our CNC lathe is down and we’ve had to farm out to another machine shop to build.

Test Results New HPA System TalonSS

——————————————————————————–
Here are the results of our new HPA System on a TalonSS.
We used JSB .22 Jumbo (16gr) pellets for our test.
We got 149 Shots!!!
Averaged Muzzle Energy @ 25 ft.lbs,
Average Velocity of 844.9 fps
Extreme spread of 19.4 fps.
The system incorporates a modified CO2 adapter with a proprietary regulator set at 2200 +/- psi out.
As you can see from the pictures below this allows for greater consistency, accuracy and power through all 149 shots.
All for only $349!!!
Accessories not included.
?
I dont want to have to fill to 4500, i want to fill to around 2700 or 2800 and have reg to 2000 or 2300 dont know which.

I know this is an old thread but it reminds me of a question I continually forget to ask. Is there a distance/yardage that is better to use in order to obtain true accuracy results? I generally shoot at 37 yds as that’s the distance from my porch to the back corner of my (mowed) property. Should I do accuracy tests at that distance? Would 25 yds be better? Or would it be better to use my estimated longest hunting/shooting distance..say 50 yds max?
Also, with powder burners, I shoot 3 shot groups to check accuracy of a load…how many is enough for air rifles? (149??? Sheesh!)
