Condor is smoking now – Nebraska tuned Isabel

Spent the better part of the day out at Nebraska’s place and gave my Condor to him and asked him to make this gun shoot. He set up the chrony and grabbed his Hill pump and started to work on the gun. I found out the gauge on my CF 45 was a quite a bit and the Hill pump, operated by Nebraska put out the correct readings. We ended up with a tophat set at close to .72, fill pressure of 2600 psi and the PW set on 10.. . The Condor leveled off shooting a pretty consistent 980 fps shooting the 24gr Eun Jin. WoW what a beast she is now. After a week of whining about not be able to shoot the gun good and now she is a real smoker. Thanks much Nebraska for working on the Condor and having myself and my Son Clint out to your place for really good time. I can’t wait to do it again… I will remember all the shooting equipment for the next get together.. I’ll even bring a cooler of refreshments so this old man doesn’t burn out on you so early.. Oh yea great shot on that birdy shooting the round ball..

Hey Buddy

And the bolt fits nice up and barely toughing the tophat. Not loose and no binding at all.. Instead of changing the tophat by just testing I did what Van at Airhog told me to and that was just setting it to where the bolt was working nice an smooth. I am doing real good with the power wheel on 8 and shooting the EJ 24gr.. A beast of a gun for sure.

Hey Dadwilson,

You folks went about tuning your .20 a little different than me but both of us came up the pretty much the same results. 24″ barrel, PW on 6, Kodaks 13.9 gr, 2700 psi fill, tophat @.087, I’m getting velocities in the mid 1025’s + or – 5 fps. With the pw set on 8, I’m getting mid 980’s + or- 8 fps with 23.1 Eunjins.

How does your bolt lock fit into the indentation on the breach? Does it move into position without binding?

Thanks,

Gee Whiz guys … give the old man a break.. It was a typo my friends. I was so excited when I made the post I guess I didn’t take the time to proof read to the post. The error has been corrected and I thank you for pointing out the error. It now reads correctly at .72..!!!!!! 8)

And yes it is a .20 Condor shooting the 24gr Eun Jin at the time.. I think I am pretty much going to have to go with that pellet as when I shoot the 14.3 Crosman’s I am shooting around 1140 fps and that is a bit too fast for good accuracy at anything past 25 yards. All I am trying to do with this rig is get .50 at 65 yards. Not trying to do a lot of the long range shooting as of yet as I have to get use to this gun..
8) 🙂

quote SAVAGESAM:

Is that a typo? Did you mean to type .72 or are you really set at .27?

I was going to ask the same thing damn myself, my factory tophat setting was .125 measured using feeler gauges. I took that way down to tune for the Kodiaks – I can’t even see double that gap being possible.

…Eun Jins are also 28.4 grain, so maybe the tophead gap setting was a typo, maybe Dad will chime in.
