Got the Talon SS in Today!
And it is one awesome piece of work. Mounting accessories and operation is very simple, and the DVD included was a very interesting watch! I love how light the gun is, too. Here are some pictures:

Compared to my springer I’m getting a lot better groups. This airgun rocks! I ordered JSB exacts from PA and I could not find a single one that was good enough to shoot through my barrel. It only came with a piece of tape rapped around it, not the red tape like normal. I suspect PA is resending out bad pellets that they get back, trying to get away with it thinking that maybe somebody else will keep them? I ordered some other pellets too… same story. Odd thing is that the predators, of which >50% of them last time were damaged, were all 100% awesome. They are the best shooting by far. I’m definitely calling Pyramyd Air tomorrow about this, because I’m not keeping 1500 useless pellets (I honestly could not find any that I could shoot without damaging my gun!). The Crosman Premiers and Predators are perfect though.
I had to shim the scope in order to get it to aim high enough. One thing I think is weird is the difference in POI at different ranges? The groups are always one-holers but in different locations. I suppose I just need more power? I have the PW at 8 and I’m using 14.3 CP’s and Predators (which have the same POI).
What flashlight can I get to mount on it that is cheap (not like chinese child factory cheap) but works well? I’m just not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on flashlights with 1,000,000,000,000 candle light power.

Okay I just change mine just to try it. Both screws are the same length but you MUST use the foregrip screw because it’s beveled. The trigger guard screw is flat and has a lock washer. The foregrip screw only goes in 4~5 turns so there no chance in jamming the safety rod which is below it. Again the trick is holding the trigger guard together while making the change. I left the screw out of the foregrip while sliding it onto the trigger guard rail, when aligned I threaded the screw. Took me 2 minutes to change it, then 2 minutes to reverse it.
Lol well that’s what I was trying to do when the safety fell out. I know the alignment is right, but which screw do you use? It seems like normally the front trigger frame screw goes deep into the hole and with the front grip in place it would not go nearly as far. Is this screw holding anything besides the trigger frame and does it matter how deep it goes?
Would somebody please tell me how?
It uses the same hole that the trigger guard screw is threaded into. I’ve never done it, but looking at the alignment it should work. The trick is holding everything together while putting it on. 😯
JB weld.
Would somebody please tell me how?
Yup that’s how I put it in. Thanks man.
I’m still really curious: how do you install the front grip further back?! I cannot figure it out.
Correct, the rod pushes against solid metal not the spring. When installed, the spring will be under the safety rod. Hope this makes sense. 🙂
So the pin goes on the solid metal towards the front? That’s how I put it in. All of the pictures make it look like the pin is supposed to be pushing on the spring when it goes forward?
The only way the safety is going to fall out is if you removed the screw for the trigger guard. Refer to the link for an illustration. BTW the safety rod goes on the other side of the spring its resting against.

If you want to make the safety work smoothly take it and the sear out and polish the surfaces that mate together to a mirror finish and the safety will be real smooooooth and easy to release with your trigger finger.
Cool! No more fiddling with that crappy safety. Since it fell out, you might as well take the entire safety assembly out. I am just giving ideas so don’t take that seriously. I do not know how it works, so you should wait for someone that knows what they are talking about.
Oh man! Thankfully I figured it out. I hope I got it all back together correctly.
That was scary. 😥
Ok I began to remove the front frame screw to see if the front grip would be able to screw in there. Well it did not and my safety fell out! What do I do to install this??? I’m freaking out!
You can leave it out, no problem
Sweet that’s exactly what I was looking for.
I decided to remove the handle on the gun because it was ridiculously far forward and pretty much useless for me. Is the screw that held on the grip securing anything else or am I fine?
