Depending on the age of your rifle, there are either 1 or 2 set screws that hold the collar in place. You have to pull the pistol grip, and maybe the trigger plate to get at them, but it’s no big deal. Might be a good time to do some trigger polishing while you’re there :-). Later.

I’ve got it dialed way back, JSB’s are averaging 980 fps for a 30 shot string, or almost 34 fpe. Don’t know if it’s a fair comparison, Sean’s valves seem a lot more efficient than the Air Force valves.

I’ve always had good shot counts, even with stock…Read more

I get the same thing occasionally, invariably after barreling through dust clouds. Sometimes just a shot of compressed air around the breech and trigger area will clear it up, sometimes it takes more work. Yours being new, it could just be some grit left behind from manufacturing that’s already…Read more

My recently acquired S400E came with a muzzle brake, hell if I know why, it sure isn’t needed, in fact, it would get in the way. It has a couple of scratches, but other than that, it’s got a nice glossy black finish, 2 set screws, threaded end cap, and it’s 16 mm ID. Length is 5 1/4″, OD looks like…Read more

I let the 24″ .22 and 18″ .177 go with the trade, bought an 18″ .22 for the TSS I still have. I also have a Blodnob valve in it. I will say that a Talon or TSS with an 18″ .177 is a great setup, excellent power and accuracy, and nice and compact. Easy…Read more

If Birdhunters Condor is any indication, Air Force doesn’t even come close to what Tony can do. If you’re going to get a shroud, buy it from Tony. End of lesson :-).

Easy to decock with no safety. Never know when I might have to shoot something :-).

Now I have to relearn all my fill points, what I thought was 3000 was only around 2300. Other things to check would be top hat set screws, power wheel setting, and hammer lube. Sometimes a dry hammer will drag a bit, causing low power shots. BTW, from your description,…Read more

I’ve got one, Sam, and what it does is kick ass :-)! Sean (Blodnob) has them set up with different sized inserts for the top hat, it’s just one more way to tailor the air flow. With one of these valves, you can realistically duplicate (or better!) the performance of all…Read more
