The hammer alginment is critical for consistent shots. It should slide smoothly over the top hat and lock into place and stay where you put it when you push it sideways to lock. My little foam piece that you hold on to move the hammer was dragging and causing inconsistencies (that was in addition to my barrel alignment problem…Read more

I have a Frame Extender, so it is not as quiet as the high price spread, but more quiet…Read more

Mine too. I have an 18″ barrel in mine. The FE sticks out 2.65″ past the end of the barrel and offers good silencing. Although not as silent as some of the more sophisticated/$$$ models, the sound of the shot leaving…Read more

Which is pretty good for parts as normally you’d expect you could buy a gun in parts for something like 3 times the cost of the gun assembled…..

Screws and washers seem to be a bit steep.

My Talons have been dormant too long. I did manage to get several 3 shot one hole groups with the new barrel, but it wasn’t as good as consistent as it was – need more shootem up time…..(still blew away all the springers at their best, but as…Read more

The new barrel works great! The bushings lined right up with my frame – not even a little offset requiring fiddling with the screws to get it aligned! The breech slides right over the top hat with no issues. I’m a happy camper.

Thanks for the options to check/try, it went a long way to establishing credibility…Read more

My experience with CO2 is that Condor and Talon shoot the same for the same barrel length. The Adapter is the same as the Condor Valve and the hammer weight doesn’t really matter as any extra hit is just wasting CO2. I get 735 fps from my Talon 24″ barrel on CO2 and like 680 from the 12″ Barrel. Both with CP .22. PW set to 8/16 (i.e. nearly…Read more

The 18″ barrel gives you a 100 or so fps over the 12″ and still offers a compact gun, even with the FE. I think it is the hot…Read more

I checked it out, but the template didn’t show up???

I haven’t had much luck with lower power settings (below say 5) on HPA. I start getting eratic fps and some “misfires”. I haven’t tried lower fill pressures, but am not necessarily looking for less power, just (a lot) more shots per fill. The 0 PW setting on Co2 works great.

The barrel screws for the 12″ barrel are: 2 ea of 7/16 x 10/32 cup point set screws and 2 ea of 3/8 x 10/32 cup point set screws. 18″ and 24″ barrel are: 2 ea of 5/16 x 10/32 cup point set screws and 2 ea of 3/8 x 10/32 cup point set…Read more

Re the shots/tank: 50 the number I get with no POI dropoff. One could aim higher and keep shooting…..re the modified valve; no experience with shot count whatsoever, just made what I consider to be a conservative yes/no guess.

If you had a modified valve (and probably hammer weight to go along with it), you…Read more

I have the same deal (except no washers in the FE). The Frame Extender sticks out 3″ past the…Read more

Are you at 12 fpe now; if so, how do you do it??? I get 17 fpe out of Co2 with a 24″ barrel and otherwise standard Talon SS. CO2 is about 850 psi at mid 70’s temps.

I don’t have the detailed info handy (somewhere I have a list of screw lengths and positons for each barrel), but the above post is what Airforce does. The 12″ barrel needs longer screws than the 18″ or 24″ barrel as the latter barrels are bigger in…Read more

I’m not sure what you mean; and if I was, I’m not sure how to “measure”.

I got out a carpenters square (yeah, pretty big weapon…) and tried to see if I could detect any angle different than 90 for the collar to frame positioning – any difference was too small…Read more

The legal in the US question is one of those debatable things. I’m offering a summary of what I have heard, not legal commentary!

It would appear that the key point is whether or not the device could be readily used to silence a powder burner. For me, that sort of says that…Read more

I’m looking at the 12th picture down (or close to that, didn’t want to take off my shoes to count!). It looks to like the grub screws have been removed.

If these are the right ones, it looks to me like either loosening both or tightening the back one slightly will work as the top hat is just a…Read more

Thanks, Will give this a try!

Is there any alignment that can be done with the Hammer? That self centering of the cocking lever is there even with the bottle off.

I think that might be the situation: I’m thinking if that is true, my fix is return to the factory (I’m not into bending into alignment…..)
