Introducing the E-TaCREG
Guys,
Well, here she is. (I apologize for the washout in the first few pictures, it really is black)
I am proud to introduce the E-TaCREG; the second generation American made Ergonomic Talon and Condor Adapter (E-TaC) Adapter.
This newest member of the E-TaC family allows the user to install a high-pressure-air (HPA) tank and JDSAirman (www.jdsairman.com) regulator on an Airforce Talon or Condor rifle and enjoy all the benefits of a regulated airgun.
Any JDSAirman regulator can be used, regardless of output pressure.
Custom designed to accept only the lower half of the JDSAirman regulator allows for a shorter length of pull than using the entire regulator. The size of the regulated-air chamber is increased and located closer to the valve with less flow restrictions between the airsource and pellet meaning more power per shot and higher regulator efficiency than any other regulator-to-Airforce adapter.
Benefits of a regulated airgun include: increased shot count and consistent shot to shot velocity (standard deviation (S.D. around 5). The E-TaCREG provides the comfort and ergonomic benefits of the E-TaC’s cast-off and drop. The regulator has a built-in tank pressure gauge and male foster nipple for quick-fill convenience.
The E-TaCREG and JDSAirman regulator will increase the chosen bottle’s length of pull by 3.5-inches. When used with a 48-cubic-inch tank the overall length of pull will be 12.75-inches. Almost the same as a stock Airforce rifle. Although the high-pressure tanks have a larger diameter, the E-TaCREG accommodates this with it’s cast-off and drop ensuring a perfect cheekweld and head position.
Available in right hand, left hand, and straight angled drop. They are made of steel and black oxide finished.
The E-TaCREG will work with any Airforce valve, as well as any aftermarket valve with an in-tank length of less than 1 7/16-inches. Performance cannot be guaranteed with aftermarket valves. Only JDSAirman regulators will work with the E-TaCREG. These American made regulators have the high-quality, consistent internal dimensions and quality controls required to base another product upon. Cheaper, offshore regulators can be of questionable quality, consistency, and flow properties. I choose JDSAirman because I believe in his products, I think you will find they are excellent regulators and the E-TaCREG complements them very nicely.
I will be taking more pictures and putting together a full instruction manual for the installation of the E-TaCREG on the regulator.
The E-TaCREG retails for $90 shipped CONUS. You will need to get a JDS Airman regulator and have a Airforce valve and tank with 5/8-18UNF threads.
The Airforce tank regulator is forthcoming.
Thank you all (especially the forum owner and mods) for your support and allowing me to provide this product to you.
As always, my products come with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
Regards,
Jim

Hey Pab,
Certainly not a dumb question.
John is making the first run of Airforce bottle regulators. When they are done the E-TaCREG and his reg will INDEED fit the Airforce bottle. The E-TaCREG will accept either reg, but the reg will be specific to the bottle.
Kind of like the E-TaC would fit the Airforce bottle, and the E-TaCHPA would fit the HPA bottles. Only this time it’s the reg that makes the difference.
Jim
Sorry to ask a dumb question….
Will the etacreg+jds reg go on my airforce tank?
Thanks guys.
@rj: it’s a labor of love. Consistent, accurate, comfortable rifles are what it’s all about for me.
@tag: yes, John has the regs and tanks at http://www.jdsairman.com
@powderburner: Ahhhh yes, all the work you’ve put into taming your shrew can go out the window. 2000psi reg will give 31 shots at 950fps with the JSB 18gr from a 24″ barrel with a SD of 5 and extreme spread around 16. Boring and stupid accurate. The larger volume adds consistency but I started with a volume that was pretty big to begin with. I’m not up to date on what Van is doing, sorry. I made a bigger volume prototype but was unable to get any higher velocity, so settled at this size.
@gothland: Hey Claude. It is good to hear from you, yes, this is your baby. It is a great rifle.
Thanks to all for the kind words.
I’ll be making more today. Any questions or if you want to chat and need to to get ahold of me, please call my cell at 859-421-6233 as I will be in the shop, not at the computer, most of the day.
Regards,
Jim
HI Jim
very nice job that realy an birthday many time to wait ,many question, but one day an very nice baby good job my friend
this is sweet, but Dam it would eliminate all the stuff i have grown to love in my condor , like filling to 2300 and only shooting down to 1900 for peak consistency, shooting several pellet s to settle the valve down for consistency before shooting groups.
IT would turn it into one of those boring Ed guns,
Hell , fill it and shoot for like 50 times with no worries, What fun is that.
🙄 🙄
So if i am filling to 2200 for what i am doing now, i guess i would need a reg. for the same pressure. or maybe 2100 to match after i fire my settle shots.
So Marmot_Militia did adding a bigger regulated air space make the consistency allot better ?
I had been reading about when people were tring the air hogg regs set up , etc, and they werent very happy with them in the past , and and was wondering if a bigger regulated air space would make it work allot better.
Great work on the etac-reg! The reg is seperate from jds. Does jds also carry the short/fat tank in the pic?
Very nice Jim looks like alot of time is in that setup

Pab and all,
We have temporarily paused the Airforce bottle regulator until the length issue can be resolved. 17″LOP is too long. More as it develops.
