Did some testing on my .25 Condor SS
Got this new Condor SS .25 last week from R&L Airguns and have been having fun shooting it and getting to know it. I went through a tin of 350 in three sessions.
First thing I noticed was it was a little louder than I hoped it would be. Also when pulling the trigger you could feel the springs rubbing and causing a slight dragging feeling but it still broke clean at 3-1/2 lbs. The safety works easily enough and is no problem for me. I did have one issue which was the top hat working loose and was spinning on the stem. I didn’t know what the factory setting was so I set it to where the breech closed snug and loctited the setscrews. I did email Tony about his valve stem and may still get one at some point but for now I want to shoot it as is.
After reading about different mods I decided I would try the Poor Mans Regulator oring behind the top hat and see what the results would be. Right off I could tell it was a lot quieter. In fact the muzzle report was almost non-existent with only the hammer slap making noise but it was also a lot quieter. Very nice. Just what I was hoping for.
I then set up my chrony and ran several strings through it to find a sweet spot. I was shooting for 900-950 range with JSB 25.4’s and I got pretty close on my fourth string. So here are the results.
2950 psi fill, 40 shots from 900 to 931. PW 8.13
When I had it at 940-950 I lost several shots and when I had it in the 850 range I gained several.
This gun is very accurate at this setting and I have been plinking at 100-125 yards to figure out my mildots. Picked off two blackbirds, one at 125 and one at 110. Gotta love it.

The more I shoot this gun the more I like it. Already ordered a Wokbut from Adam and am thing about a different pistol grip, and Talon tunes adjustable tophat.
Hope this helps anyone interested in the Condor SS .25.

What kind of glue?
Rubber mucilage or epoxy?
I Marine Tex severe stress areas. What lasts through constant hammer blows?
glue and trim a rubber fender washer to the back of your breech block and that will quiet down the hammer slap some more. Vent the frame between the barrel bushings underneath the forward grip and that will bring the “muzzle blast” down a little more also.
TT has a real nice pistol grip that bolts straight on. Walkonking has an adapter for an AR grip.
Thanks guys – I have 2 whole bags of O rings I use for my bolt seals on my Crosman guns.
They should work just fine then…………
I have round and square cut – I will play with both and see if it makes a difference.
The smaller the oring the better.
Not sure what size oring it was as I have a box of hundreds that I pick through.
I think it is a valve seal from an older Chevy engine because it is a rectangular cut seal.
Nice shootin. Love the .25. Put one of Adam’s trigger shoes on the gun. You will be surprised how much of an improvement it makes in accuracy.
very nice , these condor SS .25 cal are nice and quiet and very accurate not to mention not long ! sweet . plenty of power for what is needed out of a pellet gun . i also own the condor SS .25 cal and love it ! keep having fun and enjoy shooting the gun !
Thank You!
THAT was the kind of info I was hoping to hear. 🙂
What dash size is the O ring you used behind the tophat?
I’m definitely getting an adjustable insert one from Tony, but I like the idea of getting her quieted down.
Good looking String! 😉

Looking good and great info.
keep us updated.
Tony
