I took my frame to the local hardware store and they had them (grub screws) in all diameters and lengths for a quarter or so apiece. I bought extras because they always seem to run for cover when I drop one. Anyway, the grub screws are easy. The baffles are a different matter.

Your on a roll today. Did lang piss in your cornflakes? 😀
I do have a Condor, but this barrel is for my project gun so I can’t use the screws from Condor. Thx for the information synopsys. I might order some from Airforce, if i can’t get them from Tony.
Do you already have a barrel for your Condor, if so you can reuse the set screws that go through the frame.
Barrels that come from AF usually have bushings with bushing set screws (bushing to barrel screws, not frame to bushing screws)). I bought a custom 25 cal barrel before AF was offering them and I had to buy bushings from AF, those came with the screws that attach the bushings to the barrel only.
The set screws that go through the frame on my Talon SS were longer because that rifle comes with a 12″ barrel which has a smaller exterior diameter. I ended up with a second set but I can’t exactly remember how… 😕 Maybe they came from AF with my 18″ barrel…
I bought my barrel from a gunsmith and he got it directly from the factory. Do the 2 set screws come with bushings when you buy a LW barrel from Airforce, cause none came with my barrel (also no bushings). What kind size of set screws should I buy, so the fit right with the Condor frame?
Not all LW barrels have the same OD, and some bushings are larger ID than others. Not all AF bushings fit all LW barrels.

I recall something about putting dimples on the barrels for the set screws… 😕
^^ That. 😀
Except its the newer version of frame that has a total of four holes to secure bushings to the frame. Older frames only had one per bushing.
The bushing should be a slide on fit and there are 2 set screws in the bushing to hold them in place on the barrel. The bushing should also be a slide in fit into the barrel, which a single (older versions had double) set screw in the frame holds the bushing in place.
@pablouk I don’t think I have any pixie dust left 😆 , so please could you tell me how to mount the bushing.
Do I just push them on to the barrel or how is it done correctly? Im a total newb in the bushings department.
With fuckin’ pixie dust.
