Condor.25 discreet build configuration feedback
Okay I am really happy with how my .22 Condor is shooting the 28 and 32 grain Eun Jins and have decided just to stay with this setup for most of my shooting but here is something I have been pondering and I would like you feedback please.
First I have a LW Polygonal choked 24 inch barrel in .25 but I want a discreet short powerhouse and would like to try this.
1. Remove my .22 stock barrel
2. Shorten my .25 barrel to say 16″
3. Add extra barrel drilled bushings for more rigidity
4. Machine a HIGHLY effective endcap with no frame baffling
5. Have the .25 barrel reside inside the Condor frame not past frame
6. Have a rather short .25 Carbine
7. Use lighter .25 pellets say around 20 grains to increase the velocity
So anything to add here guys, pellet weight, best barrel length, endcap designs??
Thanks
Randy

I have been contemplating that concept myself. SLEDGEHAMMER CARBINE.
16″ .25 bbl, shrouded max. 3-4″ beond end of the frame. (I believe to maintain silence and stay within the length of stock frame would require a bbl of 13-14″ max and not give adequate performance with the .25 vs. volume of air expended). Would be a great handling gun and still maintain some very good terminal ballistics.
I’m sure WOK will chime in here as to the bbl length as I beleive he has been shooting a 16″ bbl setup for quite some time and recognizes the balance of short length and good velocity.
A 16″ barrel even with a very effective endcap, will still be pretty loud. Sounds like a cool Idea though.

I think you could get your set up to be all Within the frame if you drilled very small holes in the grooves of the last inch of barrel. There would have to be a fair amount of them. Also if you could make an end cap that had a tapered back side and was .26 or even .255 so as to keep as much air internal as possible.
