My 257 Condor Build
I am going to start a thread here on my .257 condor build. I bought a older model from AF with a spin lock tank and the older style trigger and safety. It is a new gun just an older model. I wanted black but all they had was blue or red so I chose Blue. It is a .25 Cal. I will probably sell the barrel for some money on this project.
Here is a picture of it with a Hawk scope mounted on it. The TJ barrel is by it and I have the breech end turned down and the muzzle is crowned. I have to get the dimples yet and cut the leade. Also I started a one piece bushing for the barrel. I thought a one piece would help the stiffness of the frame and tie everything together better.
Here is the Crown I did this morning.
The Breech end of the barrel is .374 dia as per Dougs advice. I am buying a valve from him and that size will match his top hat.
That is it so far. I am going to order some delrin so I can get the breech made and some stuff to make a heavier hammer. I will post updates as I get stuff made to this thread. I am excited to do this project.
A big THANK YOU to tofazfou and Doug and all of the people on the forums that post their projects so people like me can learn and do the same thing. To be continued……..

I bought it from Airforce web site. It was at their outlet store. It says refurbish or blemished but I emailed them to ask if it was the spin lock or regular tank. They told me that they are new guns not refirbished but just an older model. They would come with a spin lock tank and the older style trigger and safety.
I just notice on this link below that they changed how they listed the guns. Before it didn’t tell you if they had the spinlock or not. It would be best to call to see what they do have. It might of change some since I got mine which was about 3 weeks ago.
