I’ve always had to take the tank out push the top hat into the valve then tap it with a plastic hammer a few times till it seats.

But maybe I’m just a pansy since it’s done it in my talon valve and condor valve….

I just ordered all new valve parts. Took about a week.

The screw went in easily like it was suppose to. After a few shots I noticed the problem and tried to remove the set screw only to find it had been pressed into the aluminum on one side of the end cap and elongated it’s whole in the shroud.Attachments:

It is able to wobble but the o ring makes an airtight seal. The set screw is .25″ long but the depth of the whole to the top of the threads is .4″.

I noticed the supplied set screw did not take advantage of all the thread available In the frame. I will buy a longer set screw and see how well that holds.No tank dumps.

No extra cost or mods. Just a little water added. Looks like running wet won’t help us anyway.

I have a condor valve on order and a tt 95 gram anti slap hammer and tt quick change top hat for my .25 talon ss. I’m pretty sure I’ll achieve stock talon p power ~50 fpe. Hopefully more though.

Good deal on 2 quick detach tanks on ebay but seller was unable to tell me if it was a condor tank or talon tank. And also wouldn’t take pics of top hat for me to determine. I just ordered the parts from airforce and will convert my talon tank to condor specs.

Take a new talon ss with sound loc. later when we add an 18″ barrel, we could buy the empty shroud and part that connects factory shroud with new shroud, then install soundloc baffles. Will save money and be easy to do when swapping barrels.

Although I’m unsure of the exact size. I always use adjustable spanner wrenches at work. Maybe call airforce to find out the size and buy from a more international friendly retailer.
