Apparently a lot of Mavericks have been coming with NO cant in their rail…. I used some levels to determine that mine is one of those. Email sent to FX…. Hopefully they send me a new rail with the advertised 20MOA cant….

So no worries there. Also I removed my barrel and saw that I do have the dual “S/P” transfer port. Cool!

My major, major issue with this gun is that it is shooting WAY low. My plan was to slap a…Read more

I think maybe the pin was just a little crooked or something. All good now. Tried removing it several times and no more leaking! Yay!

The other two items remain (Fine tuning and zeroing issue)

As far as the fine tuning, running 160/110 and I’, launching 25 grainers at like 925fps. Decent. But maybe I…Read more

I just grabbed a .22 Maverick Sniper and Element Helix scope from TalonTunes (Thanks Tony!) and I am having some setup woes. I am a noob to the FX airguns, but have owned Airforce Airguns for almost 2 decades.

Let’s try and segment these issues with numbering. I would appreciate responses in the same manner, please and thank ya! 🙂

If so, buy the Ring-Loc kit for like $50 and you get a whole bunch of restrictors. Would work perfectly for you.

Maybe you just got a lemon? If still within the return period maybe it would be worth exchanging for another before you start modding?? Just a thought.

Also I found this thread:
http://talonairgun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28397

I’d like to think this can easily be done with the steel AF CO2 adapter as well. I definitely would like to get a chamber installed if you’ll do it. Something like this:

What are your thoughts?

Volume. You are absolutely right – reg chamber is where its at. I bet if I drill out that material it may add a little gain here for me (25 fps too much to hope for?), but definitely not enough volume still to acheive 900-1000 fps. At this point I wish I ordered my reg with the 3k output instead of 2800 to get…Read more

The highest I could get with 28gr Eun Jins was about 820 fps on the Ninja reg/CO2 adapter setup while the stock tank was easily capable of shooting the EJs at over 1000 fps when the PW was cranked up. I think Dyotat is right about volume. No matter where the PW was set I just…Read more

I’d never over pressurize a burst disk’s rating and not expect it to do what it is designed to do. Just plug it. Use teflon tape on a 3/8-24 threaded plug and toque it down hard.

I do believe there is enough wiggle room for this tool to work on an AF valve.

I received the Condor SS and the Ninja PCP regulator today. Hell yeah.
