Audible Observations of .22 Talon SS & .25 Condor with LDC
The Talon SS has a 12″ barrel and the Shroud works well. It is quiet enough for the backyard. The Condor in .25 with a 24 inch barrel is horribly loud without an LDC. It is about 22 rimfire loud. So I called up Mr. Neil Clague and he fashioned me an LDC that was simply extraordinary. The Condor is now quieter than the Talon SS. It is about as quiet, if not more so than the Marauder .25. And that is while putting out 55fpe, compared to the 42fpe of the marauder and the 20fpe of the Talon SS. The remaining sound on the Condor is Hammer Slap. The Marauder has ping. The Talon SS you still hear some air expansion and hammer slap of a higher tone.
The Talon SS is great to walk about the woods with. Short and reasonably quiet, I have a tri-rail on it and it shoulders reasonably well for an AF gun.
The Condor is very long, and with the LDC even more so. But the fact that it can be so quiet and so powerful makes it valuable.
The Marauder is nice for its repeating action, but its really heavy. It is slightly shorter than the Condor with the LDC added, but heavier, not as powerful, and it is less moddable, and closer to it’s ceiling than the Condor. But its a good gun within its limits.

It’s just a matter of time before he is shut down.
There was a post on the yellow that didn’t last to long. It was about how batf showed up at his house because he purchased a silencer from a guy that was making them in Washington a couple of years ago. He said they had the emails that he traded with him. So he handed it over and they left. Don’t remember all the details.
It already had a one piece ldc that was made for the .25 21″ barrel, but it wasn’t enough for the .257. It had 6″ of active chambers and baffels. I added a large chamber ahead of the existing design, that is felt wrapped inside, and then added the old stand by of proper sized washers spaced 3/4″ apart-x- 6 of them. It really took the bark out! 😀
I thought I would really like to have a NC LDC But after his treatment of our own Tofazfou, and his last out burst on the yellow, acting like a horses Ass, I don’t think so. Some how, his head has swollen far beyond what his reputation justifies. 👿
Knife
Mind sharing the details?
Made an en-expensive and VERY effective LDC here in my shop.
What did you do for that? I have a 257 now and it has quite a bark.
I finally got my .257 quieted down, but it took some work! :8:
