My biggest problem was getting them to crawl into the 10 shot magazine and wait their turn.

As for my “garden”, it is properly fertilized with the stems and seeds of a medicinal mountain herb, used for centuries to correct anxiety, weight loss, and inability to sit for…Read more

maybe im looking at it wrong, but last i checked dismounting the bottle doesnt require depressurization?

maybe with the new collars, but i doubt AF would…Read more

damn, man. last time i was in York, i got 3 feet of snow dumped on my head…presidents day snowstorm 03. there for that one? damndest thing i ever did see.

the brass face bottom port(sealing surface) is larger, both allowing more room for gas to flow, but also makes the valve more difficult to open. this both raises the necessary opening force with lower gas pressure of co2, and allows the larger co2 molecule to…Read more

send this man a u-haul and some euro, get him the fuck outta that country.

no o rings?

the gestapo is alive and well in cyprus.

AF is pretty cheap and also lean heavily on the emphasis of their guns’ modularity and interchangeability, so i would venture to say probably.

bad goes to worse, just call AF and ask them(if they even know…)

thats some mean bui;ding going on here since i been gone,

must be the most dtermined mofo i (sorta) know.

bravo, bud 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎

ive got 9 rings with your name on it, pal. 👿

lopping the choke sometimes helps, but not as a rule.

polish and port the stem, use a heavy hammer with a high tophat, and drill out the transfer port in the adapter body, maybe add a hole or 2.

only other way to wrench much more from the co2 besides heat or air contamination, is of course use a longer barrel.

from a manufacturing standpoint, id think.

the choke really screws on? so if you leave it off, its a smoothbore?

doug here uses urethane almost exclusively, and i love it for the fact that it is about the toughest material to use in an o ring.

kinda like viton too, but i use FC grease in my breech, and that can cause viton to deteriorate or swell, being FC based as well.

what kinds of projectiles are you trying? that blod valve may be kickin them out too fast, or vice versa.

try out some heavy slugs and see what it does with them.

the valves could be slightly differently aligned and could slightly affect poa, but not that much unless something else is loose or amiss.

if all else…Read more

if you got a stock delrin piece, silicone grease is the way to go.

if you have a metallic breech, FC grease(tetra, krytox, etc.) is a MUST for long term reliability.

i moved the front grip back as well cause i dont like how ass-heavy these are.

id like to try one, but yeah, for the price of blanks and machining, i just went bsa.

im taking up hindi, and request to be reincarnated as string… 😀

im-a go dress my condor in fishnets and tassles. 😎

any way at all to describe it?

ive always been iffy about slap mods, despite the lack of any complaints to confirm my fears. it just seems to me that anything done to date would cause minor inconsistency or impede the energy transfer to the breech. again, ive not heard a single complaint.

besides, with my king-size gtbj shroud, all i hear…Read more

NOW i feel right back at home… 😛

ill square up with what i owe you, then well talk bushings.

whats that made of?

no you werent, but i promise a bit more livelyhood round here… 😈

he doesnt let them live? 😕

guys like you are just what make it good to be back. 😎

see-talontunes, get the blue jay, or subssonic among others.

these guns usually come to you as a rough diamond. most of the mods can be done by a careful hand, or by the multitude of ass-savers who frequent here.

:tag:

problem is that you may have a hard time getting the valve out of the adapter.

is your concern about the hpa paintball tank i mentioned about ergonomics?

if you dont wanna go that route, maybe wait for more…Read more

i suppose you could either get the etac-reg made for co2, or buy a regged hpa paintball tank for about 60-70 at a big name store, they can do 4500 psi typically.

besides just gettin a regular hpa tank for the talon/ss, me thinks thatd be the cheapest way.

someone on here may chime in with additions, but if i were lookin for the cheapest…Read more

right now its 98 degrees here and my condor is spitting 7 RING SLUGS out the spout of a VEERRRY tight BSA barrel hard enough to blow a fistful of plaster out and flatten in front to about 1/2 inch.

i gutted some #3 shotshells and am doing some EPIC plinking…

and thats the co2, no air.

the rest involves removing the valve(if possible for you, its usually tough)
and a basic polish, lubing of all internals, and squaring up the valve return spring.

the basic outline is in the quick ref.

we’ll take it from there, and get you kickin ass in no time…

tophat gap?

power wheel setting?

scope tight?

sumpin aint right…

remove the front grip, rear grip(at this point, tape or hold the triggerguard/slotted bar in the frame or the springs will push their way down)

holding the rifle upside down, remove triggerguard screw, and carefully release the pressure and uncover the trigger group. the linkage,…Read more

not too much heat, be patient.

if it were me, id get an extra oring just in case…

there are many alternatives, some are easier to acquire than others.

also, if you buy blank and turn yourself, proper crowning is paramount.

look to some reputable barrelmakers, assess what you can spend, and spend.

barrels are a lottery, you just want to go with the best odds(every barrelmaker has a substandard barrel here and…Read more

im unsure if AF takes care of aligning the rotation of the barrel, but since drum made mine, he went so far as to jewel mark the 12:00 of the barrel.

maybe call the AF tech dept. and find out if they do this, it has to be done on a lathe very carefuly, which makes me wonder if…Read more

shoot a group at short, then long, with no horizontal adjustment.

lets say your groups are are further to the 9 o clock position at long, turn the barrel in its bushings 90 degrees clockwise. remount and do again.

someone else could prob. explain in length, but i recommend reading…Read more
