I’ve made a hammer which weighs 85g and made bushings to centralise the hammer spring. I’ve definitely improved my consistency and added a little to the power but the next sort is definitely valve work.

For anyone interested in this thread I can clarify that both valve bodies, Talon and Condor, are identical, I confirmed it with Airforce earlier.
You would simply need to swap the stem/top hat, stem guide, valve seal, spring and spring retainer to go to a high flow valve.

I’m pretty well practiced, I used to be very capable at one time, not as great these days but still good enough to require a reasonable setup.
As you mentioned, to shoot at range with an air rifle you have to have a good…Read more

I’m probably going to replicate the condor ss with my gun, switch out the barrel to 18″, probably 22 cal and go with a high flow valve, I’m curious what gains are to be had by going 25 cal in that…Read more

Not only that, I think modifying the talon valve would be way cheaper if the valve body is the same.
I took my valve out today for a look, there are only 5 components in the valve to change, the valve seat, spring seat, spring, top hat and…Read more

I’d like to convert my current valve to high flow and go to either an 18″ 22 or 25 cal barrel.
I found out that the micro meter valve has a tiny air hole at the tank end of the valve, this allows the valve to fill to pressure then allow…Read more

I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. It certainly looks like it might, if that’s the case I’d need both brass inserts, the top hat, delrin and spring to convert mine to a high flow, it shouldn’t cost much at all.

Is this something that could be done to a regular valve and keep the possibility of converting it back again? Certainly more lower power, constant velocity shots would be a plus when paper punching.

I know the condor ss has an 18″ barrel and in 22 cal it produces around 56fpe, it’s my hope to get that kind of performance.
I’ll order the 18″ 22 barrel from airforce so no problem there.
I’ll get a new hammer spring from Tony and add weight to my hammer so…Read more

To sum up I’d like to know:
Is the talon valve body the same as the newer condor hi-flo valve body?
If it is, what parts do I need to swap over to convert my valve to hi-flo?
Finally, I’m running a talon…Read more

I’m reluctant to buy the extreme valve for my talon ss as I’m only using a 18″ .22 barrel, I’m guessing I’ll have a lot of surpluss air with that valve, correct me if I’m wrong.
I know the condor ss runs on a 18″ .22 barrel and creates nearing 60fpe which is perfectly adequate for me. I…Read more

I guess I’ll keep the old design gun if there really isn’t much between the two. I figured the gauge on the newer models might be useful but I can deal with not having that.
I’ve taken a look at TT, that might be useful later. Right now I’m looking to “up” the power, I saw a good review of the…Read more

I’ve already taken the gun apart to assess it and identified a few things I want to tackle, the only part that concerns me is the valve, my lathe is $#!¥

I haven’t a clue what you just said to me.
“TT” = twist something maybe?
No idea what a “fill port is”, I’ll search for that term shortly.
