It was Ed himself that said they were ready, not like we could have gotten bad info, from someone that didn’t know what they were talking about, the very guy that assembles them said they were assembled.

The reason I ask is I ordered a .25, but now I want a .22. I am hoping that when/if the guns get here I can work out a trade either with someone that ordered one or with Tony to get a .22 that someone bailed on. Are you looking for a different caliber?

What is your reg set at? I just put an Altaros reg on my Condor SS and at 2100 psi I can only get 865 fps. I would like to around 900 so I am just wanting to get an idea of what my reg setting would need to be to achieve that.
