I thought it looked cool with the curves. I have to powder coat it black and drill the mounting holes yet.

I fill the tank to 2000-2100psi, and the power setting is on 0. Pellet speed is 1050-1100 on the first few shots then its constantly at 1000-1050 for the rest of the tank. I refill the tank at about 900psi or so and the pellets are still shooting at 975 fps or so. They group quarter sized at…Read more

I ordered JSB 18 Gr. in .22 and never received a thing!

That isn’t very unusual for AOA. some of the worst customer service in the industry if you follow the good and bad threads on the different Air Gun Forums. 🙁

Do not take any of my info as “the perfect setup” since it’s all new to me too. There are many other users on here with much more experience than I have and will have more insight on what you are looking for.

I am shooting really light weight pellets because that’s all I…Read more

I’ll try some of the heavier pellets that are under 20gr. Its all about easy access to pellets for me because I’ll shoot the condor more than mess with it.

So with the upgrade is your SS now a condor with a 12″ barrel?

I just picked that as a benchmark. Hydro’s at my local dive shop are $40 and the tanks I found were hydro’d last year. I will still get the tanks certified when needed to be safe. I do have my diving license too so its never a problem to get the tanks filled. I just found the fire dept. to be much closer to…Read more

Now that dream is totally gone since a condor is as loud as a .22 rimfire without the shroud. I might as well keep using my .22 rimfire…..

This really sucks since i have been saving money for a condor for a month. I cant even buy a Talon SS now since I…Read more

I never understood this.

There could be many thousands of Gamo Whispers in Michigan. Are they going arrest everyone that has one that does not know about this new law? They have no idea where or who bought them since they are not registered like…Read more

Maybe I should order my Condor today since It might be illegal soon due to its ability to have a shrouded 12″ barrel. ???

They know about this issue and nothing has been released officially. He told me they will continue to sell Gamo Air Rifles until told not to by officials. As of today they told me to come and pick one up if I wanted one.

I can not get a hold of any government official. I will have…Read more

I also got off the phone with PyramydAir and Airgun Depot and they will (as of today) ship anything to Michigan as long as its over 30″. I am going to order my condor soon which has no moderator anyway.

One alternative is to contact Tony at Talon Tunes and order a Condor with a, say 18″to 21″ barrel. This will keep the oal down when shrouded! I’m using a 18″ in .22 and Love-it!

Does the shorter barrel decrease the velocity a bit? Do you just correct for this by adjusting the power dial on the side of the gun?

I do have a 80cuft scuba tank in the basement from my days of diving years ago. My local dive shop is over an hour away so I will check out the local fire house for refills. I did not know they filled air tanks.

Thanks.

I can see there seems to be unlimited mods and addons for the Air Force rifles. I think I will get the .22 condor and add a shroud to quiet it down a bit. I sure can’t wait to get one.

If the condor can be quiet I might have to consider that gun. It sure is long however. Has anyone measured the condor with the extended shroud? I think the stock length is 36″

Thanks for the input.
