Thanks for the feedback.

Can you provide more info on the “Woke” stock?

Just hoped for some supporting details beyond simply “use silicone” that might let me/others make informed decisions. Especially since so mention of silicone was made in AirForce UM. And I agree with you, using FrogLube, or any other lube, mod, accessory, without full information and understanding…Read more

A few comments I’m sure won’t be popular…

First, in my opinion, any install that potentially involves ANY drilling is not easy, straight forward or for the faint of heart. Maybe to those with more expertise and courage but I’m guessing not the average shooter.

Next, the fact the…Read more

AFAIK, no where in Condor UM is silicon lubrication mentioned. So, it’s not clear, to me at least, what the “right” stuff really is…

Only mention of cleaning/solvents etal in Condor UM –

Again, otherwise why would OEM choose designed weight?

Maybe greater recoil which could affect accuracy?
More wear and tear on internal parts?

The TT web product description for “Hammer w/Slap Mod” suggests lower friction as advantage but this seems due to “guides” and mentions nothing about…Read more

Are there areas of AirForce PCP, other than breech, that might be susceptible to “dieseling”?

Is the TT 6-inch shroud same basic design as 15-inch Gen 6 featured in this review?
Anyone know of similar analysis of the shorter shroud(s)?

Also wondering – In general, how do these various “noise suppressors” perform at super-sonic velocities? I have seen a few anecdotal reports suggesting that they are effective but…Read more

I use FrogLube on my traditional firearms and have dropped them an eMail regarding PCP – Will keep posted on their reply.

On balance, with the exception of being a little heavy and pending outcome of the “ghosting” issue, I think it’s a decent scope for the money.

And in my opinion, Leapers technical support has been great -…Read more

And do you know if the modification affects your rifle warranty from AirForce?

Thanks for the quick response. Did you encounter problems with the initial install or know what you did differently that caused the problems? Just trying to get a sense of risk for a change to TT hammer. My overall goal is quieter operation without sacrifice in reliability or accuracy.

Thanks again,
Bob

What are the DISADVANTAGES of a heavier hammer?

I have watched many of the TalonTunes tutorials but most seem to be about installation and don’t generally cover theory of operation. And I do have the Condor and shot it quite alot, not a thousand rounds but enough to know it’s too loud – So I began searching for solutions, easy mods that would help quiet the…Read more
