The shop will fill it to 110% of rated capacity, which is 3300.

Make sure you get a steel tank. I don’t think they will do this with aluminum.

Maybe good, maybe not so good. You may have to move the mount up or down to find the right spot.

When I bought my Talon from Mac1 it had tested and shot most efficiently at 2800 lbs. with a power setting of 1.1 with Kodiaks.

Turning it up only wastes air. However, I bought a 24″ barrel and with the extra length, I can use the power wheel up to about 6 for most efficiency.

The same kind of numbers as bikinicrazy. Best of both worlds. All you need is a barrel w/bushings and an end cap.

The benefits of the pump are that it is smaller to store and you are independent of filling, hydrostating, whatever. It’s actually pretty good exercise you can do while you watch TV.

It takes a LOT of effort to fill the Talon bottle all the way from zero psi.…Read more

But the triggerguard screw is 7/8″ long for a reason isn’t it?

The foregrip screw is not nearly as long. This allowed an alignment problem inside. When I replaced the standard triggerguard screw, something inside had to be moved into place with an allen wrench to realign.

You’d have to shim it to make it fit tightly in 1″ rings.
