but no special tools are needed to remove the tophat.

take 2 flat screwdrivers,
place them 180 degrees apart under the lip of the tophat,
and gently pry the tophat up.

it took longer for me to type that than it does to actually pop the top hat out..

and when you put it back…Read more

the 31gn and 37gn shot amazing in my 18″ condor

the 31 shot the best by a small margin,

as good or better than benji domes and jsb kings for me.

so i ordered 300 more and am going to try them out on some groundhogs and pigeons :biggrinn:

should make quite a mess of things,just the…Read more

great people to deal with,and good prices.

i got my condor,r&l shroud,and maddog stock from them,
i didnt want the condor ss but wanted the 18″ barrel,
so i asked randy to swap out the 24″ barrel for an 18″ no problem he said 🙂

that link just takes me to the google sign in page.

probably the perfect airgun reticle,
with a little bit of testing you can get the marks to match up in perfect 10yd increments out to 150yds (assuming a 50yd zero)

i am only able to say good things about it,
awesome clear glass (as good or better than my sidewinder)
nice thin reticle,positive turret adjustments.

a big plus for me was that the point of impact does not change when turning the magnification ring.

it does darken a little past…Read more

its gonna drive me to drink LOL

plus a loud steel target is a must for the phone to be able to hear the hit downrange.

and i always use mine at a distance of 30-50yds,had widely varying results when it was closer.

the talonp valve is somewhat hotter than a stock condor valve.

a condor valve will give reduced velocities compared to the talonp valve when using it with the 12″ barrel.

i have no experience with the r&L valve.

you do not have to take the screws out or even loosen them.

I’m on my phone so I cant post the video,
but if you search YouTube for “how to remove the tophat”
I’m sure it would pop right up.

2 flat screwdrivers and it will pop right out with no damage.

and when you put it back in
push it…Read more

all the pins in the trigger group have to be punched out,
as one of the pins runs through the safety,
reinstalling the trigger pieces was very tedious,
and took a bit of trial and error to get all the pieces working properly.

put the 18″ back in and tried some .25 benji domes, it LOVES them!

if you put on the endcap that is used with the 24″ barrel, it sits flush with the endcap.

myself ive found anything over 2 on the power wheel setting will give shots that start high and drop in velocity significantly with every shot,

instead of giving the velocity string a curve.

my condor is a .25 and has an 18″ barrel,stock except for the oring,
i get around 960fps average using 25gn jsb kings.

then you could de-cock and still use the safety if you chose to.

otherwise,all the trigger components and pins have to come out,its a freakin pain,i did it to my talonp.

ill have to hit a hardware store for a couple thicker orings to try,
i already had the one thats on it,its just one of the breech seals for my mrod.

but then again i could always dive in to adjusting the tophat down some also,
up until now i havent touched it.

i am very fond of deflated groundhogs :8:

i saw 4 yesterday at one of my permissions but couldnt get a shot,
they were running full tilt everywhere they went,
probably due to the immature eagle that was cruising around :biggrinn:

love the condor!

i put it in a mad dog ultima with an R&L shroud and the bsa 4-14×44 first focal plane scope from midway,sweet 🙂

as for the camera mount the seben is definitely adequate,
although i would like something with a bit faster inital setup time,
for when you have to break it down to fit in a case.

i also like…Read more

i guess a picture would work better than describing it LOL

since i got my mad dog stock ive been trying to figure out a way to use the stock shoulder piece to make a dedicated camera…Read more

LAME!

i had considered buying one of these in .357 back when i thought they were going to be $800 ish,

but for that price id just get the semi for a little more.

4 or 5 light coats should do it,and it will be much more durable than the stock coating 🙂

just ask manny 🙂

headshots are mandatory IMO

gotta pick a couple up

FROM: the birdman
Hi birdman good deal. I hit them pretty hard last year.
Had mr bushy tail dancing at me on the neighbors shed roof. Till I stepped out with talon in hand, he…Read more

but that looks damn good for a first try!

if so that sounds normal to me,
the backwards motion from when its full forward is just the hammer coming to rest on the trigger group.

:2cents:

unless thats not what you mean ?

Use something to see if you can get the spring to go back into the center. There is a recessed spot on the end for it. If not unscrew it enough to make it easier.

i got this 4000psi gauge for my talonp for $4.49 shipped 😯

its a 1.5″ diameter gauge so its bigger around than the stock gauge,
and it sticks out farther,
but it does not seem to get in my way,
its easy to read,and its accurate,

it actually matches the large glycerin filled wika gauge on my joe b tank :8:

i put a larger 22ci tank and a long R&L shroud on it, its so quiet now i can shoot it in the house if i want to :8:

mine loves H&N baracudas,testing them yesterday i shot a group at 70yds i could cover with a nickle :7: :8:

but with the jsb kings it would shoot about 3/4″ groups at 50yds.

the baracudas arent nearly as…Read more

i had thought about the baking soda,and it would probably work fine finished with the flitz,or even just the flitz by itself.

but then i also started looking at things i already have….automotive rubbing and polishing compounds ,
and thought the rubbing…Read more

but i just hate to spend so much for something im only gonna use once or twice LOL

and i havent bought some jb online yet because i hate paying 8 bucks shipping for a 4 dollar item :confusedn: LOL

yeah LOL im cheap

sadly i have to agree with you LOL

guess we cant all be as smart as me 😎
