The pump connected w/o any problems, no leaks, etc.

I’m having some trouble or else this is a new learning curve. I filled the gun to 3000 on the AF gage which is really around 2800 psi and zeroed it in at around 35 yards with JSB Exact 25.x grain. Before the swap it was the .25 cal, 18″ with stock Talon SS tank and hammer.…Read more

Since the plastic screw is soft, I used a small flat bladed jeweler screwdriver to remove it. I put enough pressure on it to engage the broken plastic screw and then tried to back it out. Suddenly it came out, still attached to the screw driver. It’s only about 1/8″ long and the shortest screw I could buy is 1/4″. I put…Read more

I plan to remove the power wheel but the shear point is below the surface. My first approach will be to try to flatten the sheared off end so that I can make a small starting point in the center for the tap drill. I might pre-heat something to do this like maybe the head of a small brad.

Ideally the tap drill will follow the hole…Read more

The key is 3/32″ and that means screw is 4-40. Will run a hot needle into the old broken screw, start the drill, retap, and add a real screw.

All the parts arrived from Randy but somehow I stripped the Allen cap screw on the side of the power wheel. This is the screw that shows the power level. I over tightened it and broke the head off, leaving the threaded portion in the tapped hole. Does anyone know the thread size? I have a 4-40 tap and drill and plan to relocate…Read more

Did it come with instructions on how to swap it out?

Today I ordered a high-flow Condor tank and hammer weight from Randy at R & L. I decided to keep the original .22 Talon SS tank intact. So it seems I will end up with a .25 Talondor with 18″ TT barrel and TT shroud, all .25 caliber.

Maybe we should combine threads. We seem to have the same goals starting out with a .22 Talon SS. I have a .25 …18″ TT barrel with TT QUIET shroud and am planning a Condor conversion.

Since I have no need to have two bottles or return to the original setup, can I just change out the valve instead of buying another bottle?

I hope this upgrade will not detract from my upcoming chipmunk eradication season.

If you plan to shoot a lot, forget the pump and go directly to a carbon fiber tank. Have fun!

For the tank I recommend Joe Brancato 714-907-0067

Thanks! I’ll take close look at mine. Looks like the mystery has been solved.

Their response was fast and I am satisfied.

I cocked the bolt during this last barrel swap so that I could feel where the barrel was coming through. I also had the power wheel backed off. The sliding bolt assembly was really loose and wobbly and I thought it would fall out.

When the barrel was installed…Read more

As long as they don’t belong to the Talon I’m satisfied.

Since I’ve changed barrels twice before, I think any loose or extra things would have already fallen out.

They look like rubber nubs or bumpers that were…Read more

This time I thought the 12″ barrel was in all the way and secured the bushings but didn’t realize the screws were beside the bushing and not INTO the bushing. The breech was really wobbly so I removed all the screws and started over. That’s when I tapped out the close fitting barrel to…Read more

It’s quiet and accurate. A few weeks ago I bought a new .25 cal 12″ barrel from PA and swapped everything. It’s still quiet and accurate. I also have an 18″ .25 with shroud from TT. It’s also very quiet. Maybe it’s a “your mileage will vary” situation but my experience is that both are…Read more

Much better than 30 minutes of pumping.

Sold the pump and bought a Great White tank from Joe. The charge to fill the new tank to 4500 psi was only $12.00. I should have bought the tank in the first place.

If the OEM baffles take up 2″ of space, is there a way to have a 14″ barrel and just extend OAL by 2″ and relocate the baffles?
