Raven, I recently purchased a Bounty Hunter model of the Condor. I have been quite pleased with it right out of the box. I wouldn’t do anything to yours until you’ve shot a couple hundred pellets through it.

… in the design. Has anything been done with this? Especially anything that can work with a Condor?

But I’m also considering the TalonTunes tank adapter with gauge and fill valve too… And a hundred other things like the scuba tank…

Right now if I were to purchase anything as an accessory for the gun it would be a scuba or scba tank so I can shoot more.

Then I might consider other things. Still have a ton of husband points I used up on this…Read more

I am pleased. I just did a test in my backyard with three targets, each with four bullseyes on them and took 5 shots at each bullseye, for a total of 60 shots with my .25 Condor set on the lowest power setting.

The POI did not shift at all that I could see. Every group I shot except 1 was inside a quarter and three were inside a dime. Including…Read more

I like the look of your Condor Wolfeman. I am thinking about making my own pellet holders, I have some closed cell foam I can cut to any size and I think I can use a hole punch to make the holes for the pellet holder. Right now I am just shooting from the tin. I’m using JSB Exact Kings at around 24 grain and it will shoot through 3/4″ plywood on…Read more

I’ve seen the angled adapter, but like everything else for the Condor, it costs way too much right now for me to consider purchasing. Maybe around Christmas.

I’ve been scouring the area around here for scuba or scba tanks that I could use. Plus I’ve checked out online classifieds and ebay. There are quite a few very tempting offers out there, but…Read more

I have the “bounty hunter” model which includes the “thumbhole stock” or whatever they call it, so it has an additional metal brace from the pistol grip to the back of the tank. I think that helps with the frame flex. I have been holding it lightly so I don’t think frame flex is an issue.

I’ve really got to get a more comfortable hold for the…Read more

I have a .22 long rifle trap already, so I could shoot indoors if I had a decent place to do so, and if my family didn’t mind. Shooting outside is no big deal except when it rains which is pretty rare since I live in a semi-arid climate.
Yeah, I definitely could have done more research, but even if I had, based on what I know now, I would have…Read more

Thanks Pandemic, I’ve bookmarked that air pump rebuild link.

The gun I have came with the non-spinlock tank. I actually am not even sure if it can use the spinlock tanks, I’ve sent a question to the distributor I bought the gun from to find out. I purchased the gun right about the same time that they announced the spinlock change and it was on…Read more

Ah, so they do then. I wonder how hot that CO2 bottle gets in the sun, and what the internal pressure climbs to.

Sun, 08 Jul 2012 17:07:05 -0400

My guess is that if you got the temperature of a CO2 tank high enough, you might encounter the same results. But in the range that CO2 is used I doubt you’d see the “vapor lock” issues. To push CO2 pressure high enough to see that sort of effect it would probably be much too hot to be outside shooting.

The more I see this sort of thing, the more…Read more

The only “mod” I’ve done to my 1377 is to add the steel breech. I’ve got a $7 Walmart scope on it, and it’s deadly accurate out to 25 yards. I just use cheap crosman pellets too, so it’s a plinkers dream gun. The only downside is that you have to pump it so much. I don’t have a Crony so I don’t know what fps I get, but it punches through an old…Read more

Heh… yeah, no doubt I am…

Although I blame the show “Top Shot” for my recent revival of interest in the shooting sports… And I probably would have been OK if I hadn’t bought that Crosman 1377 which turned out to be a sweet-shooting little pistol…

Well, today I had my first chance to shoot an actual group. I set up my target at 25 yards. After a few shots to fine tune the scope settings, I set up a target and took 8 shots at it.

I had one outlier where I twitched when I took the shot. With the outlier my group was 1 1/8″ center-to-center. Without the outlier my group was 7/8″ center to…Read more

OK, finally got it pumped up. Took it outside.

Oh. My. God.

Four shots to sight in at 20 yards. Dime sized bullseye. No problem.

I think I’m gonna like this gun.

Gun got here this afternoon. Been pumping since I got off work. Over an hour so far, with 50 pumps and a five minute break. The instructions said “pump slowly” so I am pumping slowly. One second down, pause, one second up, pause. So 50 pumps is probably taking me three minutes. About 400 pumps so far and just over 2,000 psi.

Sheesh…. Can’t I…Read more

Thanks for all the replies. Some thoughts/responses:

I figured the CO2 would work best with a .177 barrel, but I don’t know if you can put a .177 barrel on the .25 version without having to change other things too. I’d rather not plink with .25 caliber pellets anyway since I have to order them online and they ain’t cheap.

I am still confused by…Read more

Thanks Nate, I was hoping for a link to compare prices and specs of the different options before actually picking up the phone and calling someone.

Also, I have to admit to being confused by terminology. I see people talking about all of the below things as ways to quiet an airgun.

So, I went to the “TalonTunes” banner link and I see all sorts of cool stuff.

But I don’t see a link to the shrouds that people keep talking about.

Maybe I’m blind. But I can’t find them. Can someone provide a direct link?

Wow, I’ve read through some posts on the “moderator / shroud” forum and I now realize that “silencer” is a forbidden subject due to concern about violating federal laws… I suppose my request about “noise suppression” could be construed that way.

Just …. wow. I had no idea.

Hmm… I guess I’m such a newbie that I don’t know the difference between a “shroud” and a “silencer.” Also I wasn’t aware that silencing a pellet gun would require any paperwork, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.

For almost $1,000 in total investment “rough diamond” is not something I am really thrilled about hearing. I have already gone…Read more
