The novelty of full auto wears off quickly, and it’s already been back for leaks, but if it holds air this time (so far, so good!) it’s a helluva rifle, accurate, with 19 rounds at the ready and good power.

Yep, you can launch a heavy fast enough to sound like an unmuffled .22, but your accuracy will suck. Using the TT tophat I tuned things down to around 650fps for best accuracy and now get 20-ish shots within a 1″ POA.

FANG- I *need* that stock! What is it? Where do I get one?

If you’re running, or want to run, your Condor at high velocities (>900fps, as a benchmark) they’re just the ticket. That’ll make things loud, but they shoot better at those velocities than anything else I’ve tried, and can be very accurate.

The same fouling result is true for powderburners – but it takes much fewer shots to season the barrel. After that, if you care enough you try not to over-clean.
