In all honesty my 12″ choked AF L/W barrel shoots NSA’s good as well.

I started out with a couple boxes of their new machine slugs. 34gr domed & 33.5gr HP.
They shot so well in the 12″ that I wanted to add more fps so I added 4″ to the barrel.
Which was good then I added TT tophat and was able to make significant fpe gains with…Read more

I posted on a couple different airgun sites WTB 18″ or 24″ Airforce barrel.

Got tons of replies. Seriously guys have 18″ barrels that they replaced with 24″ barrels just sitting around.
I bought a barrel within the very first hour I posted, there were so many replies..
Then you can either do it yourself…Read more

It was a test while I decide on Condor or Talon.
I’ve almost had guns that I could work with, but the deals ended up not working out, plus had a couple other projects all at the same time.
But it’s good to bring along power in a bottle for those moments I…Read more

Still deciding on Talon SS or Condor, but in the meantime, I received one of Doug valves and figured for shits and giggles, let’s put the bottle on the Talonp and see what it’s about.

3K fill, 16″ barrel, TT spring, powerwheel 0…NSA 55.5gr HP. 924fps for 105fpe!😲🤗.

I have more testing to continue, have…Read more

Are you sending him an oring list or diagram?
If so if you don’t mind sharing it with me, as I would like to have orings on hand if I ever need them.

Just degas the tank, remove the valve and replace the orings.

Talontunes has an oring kit, though maybe someone will chime in with oring sizes that you could just order.

There is not much traffic here, but if you take the time and not just do a search, there…Read more

From what I have seen of those rail mounted sights, there’s a reason why they are discontinued and no one has replaced them with another version.

So I wanted an easy way to adjust velocity so I ordered this quick change tophat w/ inserts.

But I wanted to take out more, so I contacted Neil Clague and decided to go with one of his 10″ moderators.

Damn it’s now so quiet I’ve checked it a couple times to make sure its shooting.

Seriously it’s a day and night difference.

Its tuned to 26 shots at 54fpe, I’ve haven’t had the striction issues since the valve broke in.

I can let it sit for months, and the first shot isn’t 50-125 fps low like claimed.

It did do it a couple of times, but I just kept using the gun and its settled down and works just fine

Was thinking that my talonp was lacking power, then I removed the o ring from behind the tophat, power found.

I ended up adding a cut and recrowned 16″ barrel, and have a nice little powerful gun.
Shoots up to 65fpe with NSA slugs, though I am finding 58/9fpe to be more consistent accurate wise, though only shot out to 45yrds, will do…Read more

So SHO valve by itself or do I need a different hammer & spring as well?

But with Tony suggestion of valve…and you to Hoot, my reading between the lines is that fps increase would be more by upgrading the valve.

I should have asked that question actually instead, but glad…Read more

Been thinking like to gain a little more fps so looking into my new barrel options.

I could just grab LW 18″ cut down to 16, crown and polish it and be done.

But its 2019, surely there are more options…

Like a TJ barrel or even CZ.
