I made the form and measured the circumference with a fabric tape measure and cut the plastic to size. I then heated the ABS with a hot air gun that is used for stripping paint. Once the plastic began to soften I layed it over the form and shaped it with gloved hands.

The form was made…Read more

In your ad you mention that the FX adjustable butt tank can be adjusted for overall length. What holds it in place once it is adjusted?

Thanks for the info! My gun has about 6,000 rounds through it, so I’m guessing it’s pretty well broken in. You mentioned strange chrony strings. I’m assuming you mean sudden drop in muzzle velocity and then a jump back to the normal string. What do you consider a “normal” chrony string. I’ve noticed a 2-3 fps drop in muzzle velocity per…Read more

Thanks for the excellent input. I have my top hat set to .095 and I lube the bolt o-ring by putting a small amount of silicone grease on the tophat. I am getting some wear on the notch where the bolt lever locks in. How did you modify yours? Do you have a photo?

To clarify, when you say lock up the breach, is there something more that I need to do than sliding the bolt handle to one side?

I think I tracked the problem down to the metal cylinder that sits behind the horizontal spring that’s at the front of the trigger assembly. There is a groove machined into the cylinder which is slightly offset to the center. I had the cylinder with the thick side facing forward. The gun would fire a few times…Read more

Very accurate out to 40 yards with a 12″ barrel. Be sure to clean and lube the pellets that also helps with accuracy.

I mounted a UTG dovetail to picatinny adapter on my Talon to make it easier to swap out scopes. I went from the tall AF dovetail scope rings to med QR on my AF 4-16 scope. That threw everything out of whack. Couldn’t get enough elevation out of the scope. While putzing with the setup I noticed the…Read more

When you are shooting out to 100 yds., what pellets are you using?

The squeak is not outrageously loud, just annoying. I’m used to really smooth, match grade triggers on my “go bang” guns. About how many rounds did it take to break your guns in? I’ll just wait awhile to see if it smooths out. Plus it’s just a great excuse to shoot more. “..But Honey,I have to shoot more,to make sure the…Read more
