They make them in .257, .308, .357, and .457.

The whole purpose of the Texan platform is for hunting. You’re switching from pellets to heavier slugs at high velocities. You’re also utilizing barrels that have no choke and twist rates that utilize the specific diameter and weight of the…Read more

As the barrel gets shorter, the accuracy and FPE decrease as well. On a stock Condor with the 24″ barrel, you can easily reach out and touch things at 150 yards. I’m talking about hitting 2-4″ targets. If you slightly modify the gun (add a regulator and high flow, 1 piece top hat), you will tighten your groups…Read more

There are tons of budget friendly air compressors that can refill your tank at home. You can go big and buy the Air Venturi, which is the best. Or you can go to Ebay and buy one of the 220v or 110v models that will do the same thing. If you buy one of the cheap models, make sure you use good…Read more

The hole on the valve is hogged out to fit exactly 7/16″, and 3/8″ is 1/16″ too small. Since the valve is made from machined aluminum, if the valve is torqued on, and you have to apply more pressure than you would like to break the seal, the undersized rod/tube may…Read more

#1- drain your tank completely. Some guys on here us the AF valve cover with a nylon nut. They slip the nut over the air port of the top hat and then place the AF valve cover over that and slowly screw it down until the valve depresses and releases it’s pressure. This way is lame to me. Too much effort.

I went to HF…Read more

Why would you put a shorter barrel on the Condor? The SS comes with a 18″ barrel and the non suppressed version comes with a 24″ barrel. The longer barrel makes for better accuracy over distance. So are you ordering a Talon barrel, or the barrel designed for an Escape? I’m just curious why you want to replace…Read more

The reason being there is a .02″ choke over the last inch of the barrel. I looked into this once and spoke with some people that have switched over and upgraded their guns. They all say the same thing. Pellets love a choked barrel, but bullets HATE a choked…Read more

I wish I would have paid attention to the one liner at the beginning of your thread…. “Make sure the baffle screw is in”. Make sure it’s in BEFORE you drop the baffles into place. I answered my own question. Operator error on my part.
