I thought maybe if ideleted the forum and then resubscribed, but now tapatalk won’t even find TAG again. Lame.

The solution so far has been the same. Remove the striker bushing and all seems to be well. He wasn’t where he could lay his hands on a gun to look at it but he said he would do some checking and get back to me.

Is there a build thread somewhere about your pre chamber and regulator setup?

Unscrew the valve from the tank, screw the regulator into tank and then the valve into the reg. It adds about 2″ to the pull but is completely reversible. I think the loss in velocity I’m seeing is the volume around the valve just isn’t large enough to make the velocities I want without cranking the regulator up,…Read more

I want to make one for my alteros regged talon ss. I have the reg set at 1600 right now and am only getting 705 fps with the JSB 15.9 gr. pellets. I was getting about 900-940 fps, with the power wheel set at about 9, 3200 psi fill, before adding the regulator, but the velocity spread was too high for…Read more

Mine only has a single diameter of approximately .2465 and just slightly larger where it has been knurled. I might have to make a new one piece top hat and try the new valve design. Would a domed surface on the valve seal easier? I see several other makes of air guns use a domed…Read more

This is an older condor. I wondered if the stem and seal has changed because all the pictures I see here and on the yellow are different than mine. My valve looks like this.

The air is leaking out through the stem and around the stem. I’ll try changing the o-ring around the brass part just to make sure but when I put soapy water on it, all the bubble are coming from the center. Maybe I’ll try sticking the end in some water like you have suggested in other threads and…Read more

I didn’t have any black delrin do I just used white. It is acting just like the old one and not sealing. I will have to try another and put a different angle on the sealing surface. Suggestions for the angle I should try next? Maybe a better question, do you machine the seat with it on…Read more

The same phenomenon occurs with all brands and weights of pellets I have tried so far. Some deform less because they have a much heavier skirt, but they are all pretty hard on the thumb to get seated in the Condor barrel.

Just looking at the breech end of my Talon the barrel wall looks thinner, but…Read more
