Why choose only one? Based on budget? Personal satisfaction?

In my case, money was the first thing to consider… so I chose the AF Talon (cheaper and more powerful than the SS. Noise is not a problem right now and it can be fixed very easly). I also like the tactical looks of the gun.

If I could choose by the heart, I’d pick a FX…Read more

Sorry, never seen anything like that (not that I’m an expert. In fact, I don’t know much about valves. Mine was leaking once, but it was different).

I’d try to fill it just a little bit to try to find the exact point of the leak.
I said it because I thougth my valve was leaking through the top hat (like you…Read more

Does it loose air slowly? Or almost exploding? Do you hear the air escaping?

People round here are very nice, I’m sure someone will find what’s wrong with your air tank.

And welcome!

Lamborghini Murciélago (indeed, the car Bruce Wayne drove in the last 2 movies).

Screw Ferrari, Lambos are way cooler!

Sorry, don’t know much about this brand, but never seen it with a dry pac.

I had an AF hand pump (piece of crap!!) and Tom Gaylord himself told me the moisture would never get inside the airtank because the moisture trap really works. He also said the dry pac is just cosmetic and…Read more

If you’re going to buy some, buy the pellets in the cardboard box. It’s supposed to be from the same batch on the factory’s die (it’s stamped on the box… so, if the pellet shoots great, you may buy more from the same batch). Well… some people don’t really believe it… sometimes you may find a couple of different pellets…Read more

Hope you don’t spit in the next one trying to help you, cause you’ll only wet your screen.

Maybe to some it’s like rocket science. Good luck!

Why did you take the scuba adapter to the dive shop?

Did you try to fill the gun’s airtank or did you let the lady at the dive shop do all the hard work? Bet she carryed the scuba tank to your car!
*Kidding about the lady… 😀 but have you had the same problem?

My fill adapter is different (bleed, airtank adapter and…Read more

Do you have the Airforce DVD? If not, check it at the Quick Ref section, there ‘s a topic with links and you can see Tom Gaylord zeroing a scope. In this video it’s explained why it’s happening.

To zero your scope at this distance I guess you’ll need a different scope mount (with a LOT of elevation…Read more

In general, he got the same price as Pyramyd Air… but he’s very nice and will take good care of you.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention… he can get you many more things than he got listed on his webstore. Just ask him (and he will ask you to send a link of what you want)

DONT DO IT… I got an Ultraglide pump from Straightshooters. Within a week, it was impossible to pull up. Shipped back to SS for another pump…. got the replacement. Within a week… same thing.

SS told me that they no longer carry that pump due to the high number of returns they had on it.…Read more

The puff sound was the internal o-ring farting (the one around the most inner rod, above a nylon ring). Last time the pump fartted so loud that it blew this o-ring (no jokes here…).
The handle going up and the needle going down is due…Read more

But I’ll look for Dowdy seal on a shop, thanks for the name!

Darn, I thought I WAS smart, hahahahaha…
Bought a couple of washers this morning and was going to do just what you described. My washers are a bit too thick, I’ll sand and…Read more

Where’s Michael Jackson when someone needs him?! 😀

What model is this Leapers? The 5th gen? Mine works fine, the lock mechanism is very nice.

What happens with yours?

Borrowed a 6-20×40 Leopold VX-something for a few weeks. Didn’t see much difference… except when I gave it back and the Leapers…Read more

This o-ring you used is smaller than the original, isn’t it? Just measured mine and it’s about 7mm OD and 4mm ID…

[]s

And it wasn’t overheated…
I’m from Brazil, can’t find o-rings easily. If I had its size, I could look for it…

What is the size of this o-ring? Is there anywhere I can find it on-line?

I got a cheap o-ring case bought from eBay, but the o-rings just blow! I can hear them poping. I guess it´s too much pressure for such a cheap o-ring!!!

Have you seen this month Paul Capello’s Airgun Reporter? TAG is at the end of the video! 😀

By the way, this episode is about the Condor.

So… who’s suing Pyramyd Air first? 😛

Nice tools! Too bad I got only a Dremmel… 😡

Thanks for the input… if there were AF repair kits, It would be a nice solution.
There isn’t much info about air pumps like this in the internet! Or at least, haven’t found it…

Almost bought my Talon from him, but I guess he wasn’t confident enough to sell it to a Brazilian…

I’ll buy some Hill silicone grease… and some teflon lub to compare. I’ll post the results.

Just remembered, I also got some Smart Parts Shocker lub for Paintball o-rings. Maybe???

And I guess KY can’t be that bad… Bod and WOK can’t be both wrong! 😆

I guess I’ll buy some Hill lubricant!

Thanks

Because on AF pumps it doesn’t look like silicone grease… looks like something thinner with some particles (hope this dark thing isn’t powder from the seals tearing apart!).

I was thinking it may be o-ring teflon lubricant? Well, in fact I read it on PyramydAir BB’s…Read more

Does anybody know what’s that dark lubricant on AF pumps?

Can I use something to lub the pump???

😛

About your questions, someone better than me will help you. About the Predator, maybe your gun just doesn’t like it…

Hope you enjoyed the gift card as much as I’m enjoying your butt (well, in a good way… 😛 ).

Yeah, Bod! I’m already looking for aluminum pipes and washers… but it will take some time, the college and the job is taking me apart…

It worked for me! Give it a try… but don’t stretch it too much…

This gun is great! Starting to get the hang of it… my groups are getting smaller!!

Hahaha… I’m very flexible… hahahahaha…
But… what red pin stripe tape? Just screwed the bubble level on the rail…

This is my new .177 Talon! It arrived last week, but I was busy (shooting) and had no time to take some pics!

It took tooooo long to arrive because I’m from Brazil… and things take really long to arrive here (2 weeks… but customs and the Post Office were on strike and it took almost 3 months to arrive). And it was missing the…Read more

The first pic is from a Brazilian forum:

I already posted it on the Quick Ref section with credits:

Just a note, the trigger guard is not correctly placed.

And we don’t speak Spanish, we speak Portuguese!! 😛
Unless you found the pic elsewhere…

Is it possible to design the trigger guard in a way it will allow us to place the fore arm rear of its original positon, using the screw hole from the trigger guard?

Then I´ll have something to hang on the Wokbutt (my tank has not arrived yet…).

Didn’t know that!
On their eBay ads there’s a “offer a quanity pricing and a combined shipping but you must email us for this pricing.Do not bid or buy it now”…Read more

I’ll send you some ideas of logos, OK? Did a lot of family stuff this weekend and had no time to play with it!

By the way… wouldn’t be nice if we could vote for the logos??

Probably the art will have to be sent in one color to save money (I mean, only one color channel… cyan, magenta or yellow). It’s always good to send in TIF to…Read more

I may help with the art, I used to work with advertising/marketing and did a lot of stuff like this…

Rob, black T-shirts are great… can you ask if they are able to use silver (and/or gold) on the art? Black T-shirts with small details in silver are very eye catching (silver may be expensive and fade after a while… but it is worthy!).…Read more

Except for the mount, I payed $1.99 on eBay (wouldn’t feel good sawing a good mount…).

Worked very nice… very solid!

BUT (as usual, nothing’s perfect…) IMHO this setup is way too heavy. The 11m rail is a little 3-rail brick with the weaver adapter… and the stud adapter I bought (looks very similar to the one you bought) is very heavy. Maybe you got better adapters, but…Read more

If your 11mm to weaver adapter is really a 11mm to weaver adapter, it will fit your gun. And if your swivel stud adapter is really weaver-style, it will fit the…Read more

Yeah, that’s a fair price for the frame.

At Quick Reference section there’s a post started by Y about AF price on parts for the gun. Would be nice to put this information there… wouldn’t it?

I guess I was expecting it to be better than it is… not so well-built like the gun!

The tri-rail on the cover (and inside) of AF´s catalog seems differente… the screws are deeper, there´s a groove surrounding the screws and the bottom groove is not rounded…

I want to know if mine is fake or not. I`ve seen chinese tri-rails on eBay that looks a lot like AF (and mine).

I’m suspecting that mine is fake not just because the weight… the screws are not in a standard size (I don’t have the right size in my B-Square gunsmith toolbox) and the groove is round (like in the pic),…Read more

Tried to save a few bucks and didn´t buy a tri-rail from my regular supplier. Got a “better” deal and here´s my question…

Are your tri-rails like mine?

On AF website it looks a little different (but the pic is too small).
And this thing is really heavy! And the top rail is not flat… it´s highe…Read more

But just a tiny little amount of lub can explode an air tank?

Man… just applied some oil to a few pellets… I guess I’ll ask my sister to shoot them… hehehehehehe…

I heard it’s rare, but not impossible… how? Maybe some petrol lubricant inside the air tank???
