Q:

Screw in power adjuser slot fell out and lost

Hello group-

After shooting my Condor ss for about a month I guess I became careless and did not do any tightness checks before I went out field shooting today. Around 1 hour in I went to adjust the power wheel and it felt “funny”. it was then I noticed that the small screw that rides in the slot and keeps the adjustment piece from spinning was missing. Since I had moved into different in the field finding it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I wrote an e-mail to Air force asking for a replacement and a spare just in case. While I had used Loctite on the old top had screws ( I had since purchased the one piece unit from Tony with inserts) I did not think to put any on this one. Of course if and when I get the replacement one I will be doing just that. In the letter I suggested that they invest in a tube of Loctite and do this before the gun leaves the factory as screws that come loose seem to be the Bain of this otherwise fine air rifle.

Thinking about this, I have a question.

If I wanted to replace this screw with one I can pick up myself, does anyone know the size, thread. etc. or can suggest a replacement one using a model number from a particular company.?

Thanks all

Take care and enjoy.

Thank you .

Rachel from AF is sending me a couple of new ones and an adjustment knob in case the screw broke off inside it. While annoying that they do not check into this happening and correct it with different parts, they are very helpful.

Contact Tony at Talon Tunes. He has them in stainless steel. Much better than the plastic one that Air Force supply’s. What were they thinking?

You can pick one up on Talon Tunes, or take your powerwheel to Ace and find one that fits.
