Safety removal
Hi guys, got a chance finally to try a shot with my newly acquired Condor.
Installed the 12″ .22 barrel as I haven’t obtained any .25 pellets yet, and screwed on an air tank, stepped out back, cocked and loaded an Exact Jumbo 15.9 gr., pushed off the safety and whamo the thing fired. Safe muzzle control at all times is very important and this incident proved that fact once again. 😯
Might I add that the muzzle blast was incredible, preload setting at about 6.5. I too did the scramble in the house, lock down and hide under the bed expecting any moment to hear unmarked gunships to hovering overhead.
My question is this, I want to disable the safety and have been checking the Quick Reference section, the Condor Section, search feature, etc for a couple of days before I finally decided I neededto post this. Apparently, I’m not using the correct search terms.
In any case, from what I could see, it seems the only part I need to remove is the safety bar correct as all the other parts appear to be integral with the trigger function. The safety bar I have has a black cover, not the red one.
Can someone please confirm if the safety bar is the only thing necessary to be removed and if not what is required to properly disable the safety?
Thanks guys,
Tb

Years ago, my new Condor’s safety acted like a screwed up trigger, too. I would send the thing back, under warrantee. The only way the design is going to change is if AirForce gets a lot of flack, returns and their distributors complain. In any case, you’ll want to disable the safety per John’s recommendation and decock the gun for proper safety. If you start with a functioning stock gun, you can return it to stock if you later decide to sell it.
Air Force has had safety issues for years. Some day, when one of their defective guns does real damage and they get their asses sued off, maybe they’ll pay attention.
I got PA to issue a call tag and pay for the return postage. The replacement worked fine, but decocking is still standard operating procedure.
Do the decock mod described in a sticky post in this section. That should solve your problem and leaves the safety intact. It’s handy, even for someone like me who considers a safety downright dangerous.
