I started off with the 25.4’s and was pretty happy until I shot the 33.95 heavies MKI. They shot good so I ordered a tin of MKII’s to try out and at first they did not shoot as good as the MKI’s but my fps was down around 790. I have since rebuilt my gun and adjusted the reg up a bit and it is now shooting the…Read more

They said the retainer came off as the other poster stated. I guess I could have fixed it myself but decided to let AF deal with it since it is fairly new yet. Good service on their part. Now just waiting for it to return and Adams Wokguard to come in…Read more

It does not shoot the Kodiaks as well as I would have liked but the JSB’s always get the job done. I have shot a lot of groundhogs with a .22 and .177 and any pellet I used would drop them in their tracks if shot in the side of the head. I avoid body shots on groundhogs when possible because they are usually…Read more

Have you shot a .25 Condor SS? I have shot it against a Cricket .25 and an Edgun .25. I did a homemade hammer slap mod to mine, added TT Tophat no insert but an oring under it and with powerwheel on 2 it is around 900 fps with JSB’s and it is as quiet as either one of the other .25s and they are also around 900 fps. With the…Read more

It is under warranty so they can fix it.

The Kodiak are not as accurate as the jsb’s. In order of preference for my Condor SS .25
JSB 25.4
Benjamin 27 and Predators tied
Kodiak 31.1
I shot several groups with the Benjamin’s and Predators and I always had a somewhat scattered group–3 in one hole and 2 in another about a half inch apart. They both would…Read more

My fill is 2800 and ends at around 2100.
this is with a new Condor SS .25.
When it came from the factory it was shooting hotter and I got less shots, however the top hat kept coming loose so I don’t know what the…Read more

I’m sure it will be an awesome rifle.
I watched every video, read every review and waited impatiently just to get a factory stock gun so I can only imagine how tough it would be to wait on a custom one. I think the wait will be worth it.

I made my own hammer slap mod by gluing a thin rubber washer on the front of the breech- works great so far. I removed the safety toggle and that’s about it. I did add Adams Wokbutt. You probably saw my other posts on my tune etc.
Love the gun…

I am shooting the JSB 25.4. The Kodiaks were a no go and the Benjamins were so-so, shooting groups a little bigger but I had fliers every now and then. There are no fliers with the JSB’s.

Adam, as funds become available I will be getting a WokGuard from you and maybe a trigger shoe.

I hear the .25 is louder than the .22 and if that is the case then my .25 Condor SS is probably quiter than the .25 Mrod. However I have mine tuned to shoot around 900 fps with JSB’s. With factory stock settings it was over 1000 fps and it was a little loud but it was…Read more

However I am the kind of guy that would try and fix it. I’ve had mine apart a few times and it wasn’t too bad.
The breech will come out the back as described but the safety toggle is in the way of the hammer coming out the back. Probably easier to take it…Read more

And this is my fourth Air force gun.
Since I am a hunter this .25 is just the ticket.
I have shot groundhogs, coons, crows etc with .177 and .22 but .25 has moved to the top of my hunting pellet list.

Did you remove the toggle link ? Did you put the pin back in? Also why did you take the bottom pin out? You may have to take the trigger guard off to see what is binding. The safety has a ball and spring at the rear for the detent . Make sure you note where the springs go and how the safety lever rides along the…Read more

At the time I did that work it was still in the gun. Later on I figured out how it works and removed it. On these new guns you can see the little toggle link sticking up inside the gun if the breech is removed. When you cock the gun it forces the safety back and sets it. When the breech is closed you…Read more

There are several cutouts in it and the pins and other parts rub against it.
I completely disassembled my gun and I deburred all rough edges, of which there wasn’t much,…Read more

I am on my third tin of JSB’s and a few Kodiaks so I have around 750 shots thru mine now and it just keeps getting better. It took me a while to figure out a good hold technique and get my power settings but once I did this thing is ACCURATE. It is pushing the JSB’s over 900 fps for 30 shots and most groups at 50…Read more

I think it is a valve seal from an older Chevy engine because it is a rectangular cut seal.
