Talon Tunes

Here is what our customers are saying...

OK, lets move on to the gun. Prior to the tune, there were no issues with accuracy or with performance. The gun shot hard and accurate. Of course, if your gun does have consistency issues, Anthony’s services can fix you up. I was happy with the performance of my gun pre-tune, but I was really curious to see what Anthony could do with it.


When I took the gun out of the box, I noticed the shine at the valve, a nice touch since my gun has some shiny bits on it already… the shine was a nice compliment. I filled to 2800psi, per Anthony’s recommendation and loaded a pellet. I thought perhaps I had broken something when I slid the breech forward…. It moved like greased glass. Not at all like before….. I was already impressed. I loaded a pellet and slid the breech back. I didn’t bother to aim at anything in particular, just touched off a shot....and I mean ‘touched’ off a shot. Gone was the cheesy trigger with mediocre feel to it. The trigger mod Anthony done felt great and the trigger broke like glass. After a few more shots to familiarize myself with the gun, I sighted in. Anthony had sent groups with 2 pellets he tested: JSB Exacts, and Crosman Premiers. The Premiers actually grouped a bit better, 5 shots at 36 yards easily covered by a dime. JSB’s weren’t anything to sneeze at either, with 5 shots just a touch over a dime at the same distance. I was able to duplicate the results easily at 30 yards, my normal shooting distance. Firing cycle was vastly improved due to the internal polishing done. That, coupled with the trigger mod, made the gun shoot as if it were on auto pilot.



After some more groups, I decided to run some shots over the chrony. Anthony had sent a chrony string from my gun and my results confirmed his. A 25 shot string using JSB Exacts in .22 netted the following results:



916.55
919.20
919.90
915.79
911.93
910.08
904.77
902.54
899.79
899.33
903.96
900.66
896.39
896.06
894.74
895.20
891.90
896.20
893.09
891.12
890.26
891.58
887.91
887.98
883.76

Average of 900.02 fps for 28.79fpe.

Suffice to say I am very pleased with the results and can recommend Anthony to anyone who may want better performance out of their AirForce gun without the hassle of attempting to tweak it on your own. You will get fast service, communication throughout the process, safe handling and shipping of your gun, and you will receive a Talon or Condor performing at its PEAK when it arrives home.

From Todd R.

I finally went on my first Mountain bike / Airgun hunt. I have wanted a gun that I could take down and put in a pack and ride to and through my hunting destinations. A deal came up on a Talon SS .22 and thought I would give it a try. After a great tune by Anthony266 this gun was shooting real nice. Being a scant 32 inches long and under 7lb scoped, I set out for my local areas.
I was riding through a field and lo and behold I saw 6 crows land to get a drink of water. I quickly screwed the bottle on and loaded the gun. I set up my bipod and hunkered down for my first “ out of the backpack shot.” The pellet went thwap and feathers flew but he took off---to low. I was a little anxious and it showed. I kept riding and went to a spot where I new of some Ground Squirrels. I rode in behind a building and assembled my gun (10 seconds). There he was sitting up on his honches looking around. I crept forward and then set up the bipod, took aim at this 30 yard target and thwap---got him. Another 30 yards to my left was his bunk mate wondering what was going on—Thwapp—got him. Feeling pretty good about this and just about ready to go home, another GS popped his head up another 30 yards to the left. I crept over to a rise and set up the bipod. This made him about a 40 yard shot. I was using Kodiaks and thought the pellet would drop some so I aimed for the head thinking if it dropped the pellet would hit vitals and be a clean hit either way. Thwapp!! Down he went. I went over to the area where I hit him and sure enough the pellet went right in the side of his head. Wow. I either jerked up a bit when I shot or the pellet had very little fall in the 40 yards. (next time I will bring my camera).
This gun loves CP’s, JSB’s , Kodiaks and Predators to about 25 yards. All these pellets have a very close POI at closer range so no worries of clicking your scope or counting mildots. I pretty much put the cross hairs on the target in the 20 to 40 yard range. This gun is amazingly quiet, just a thong sound of the hammer hitting. It is very easy to load, you just push the bolt forward, load the pellet and bring it back. It’s not as nice as a multishot but hey you can’t have everything. The gun takes so little effort to load and cock that even a youngster could load this gun with no problem. This little gun is set to about 23-25 fpe (can be set higher). It shoots about 840 fps down to about 805 for thirty shots. At 20 yards however, I can shoot a good 50 times with no POI change before a fill. Removing the bottle is a snap. Simply unscrew, no back pressure or anything to worry about, very easy. Another interesting thing is how the gun looses its pressure. Most PCP guns have a shooting curve that usually starts low and then climbs, and goes back to low. The Talon simply shoots from high to low. This type of pressure regulation may be a bit more predictable and definitely not a problem. The Take Down nature of this gun is a rare feature in airgunning. It makes travel, hiking, and biking with this gun an easy thing to do. In my research on this gun I found very little talk about this feature (except Jim C.) I am going to design a travel backpack for this gun and have it made by a friend who works with such materials.
This gun has always had my curiosity with all the heated debate over this gun. Many do not like the military look and quickly dismiss it. Many tinker with this gun and mess it up and get frustrated. Many shoot these guns right out of the box and they shoot well. Some have problems out of the box. I do know that this gun shoots well and yes it has been tuned but hey, people buy guns for 5 times the price and tune them as well. If you buy one of these guns I would recommend sending it straight away to Anthony266 for a tune. You will then be on your way to shooting a very interesting, fun, accurate, powerful, quiet, small, portable, enjoyable gun.
Stay tuned for the upcoming side by side comparison review with an Air Arms TDR.

Special thanks to Anthony Annuzzi for his great work and to McSquidly for finding me this gun.
Happy Shooting

Tony I's Talon .20

With the release of the JSB(.20) I got all excited, was debating an AZ Rapid MKII(.20) and was very close to spending the jingle on it but then I kept thinking, don't know if its the conservative cost accountant in me, the thrifty upbringing my parents instilled but I kept thinking I really loved the way my Anthony266 tuned Talon SS(.22) turned out, why not get another Talon as the basis for a project gun...

Figured the Talon is an affordable gun, get an HW(.20) barrel from Tim at MAC1 since they are good enough for a USFT and he's an accuracy nut to say the least, send it off to Anthony Annuzzi as he's an accuracy nut that loves Air Force guns as well as the Rapids which he owns...

So I called up Tim, ordered a Talon with a HW 26" HW(.20) barrel that he quickly machined, installed and sent to me...I shot it a little bit to make sure all was fine and establish a basis for comparison to the finished product...ragged hole accuracy at 20 yards with JSB's at 950fps with a trigger that was begging to be lightened...so I started ordering parts like grips and more importantly a custom Airhog Shroud to deal with the longer barrel...

Van and company were excited and happy to make me an appropriate shroud, forewarning me that its gonna be long and I said no worries...a few weeks later they shipped the shroud to Anthony which suprised him as well regarding the length as its 18.5" from the end of the receiver to the end of the endcap. For my purposes its fine and in a hard case remove the bottle and there's tons of space to fit it...

So Anthony starts doing his thing with tuning it, polishing and jeweling parts...all I gotta say is WOW now that its complete and back to me!!!

The trigger is exceptionally light and crisp, I don't have
a gauge but I'd liken it to my FWB601's! The gun is quiet as can be, smooth, and instill's the HIGH Fun Factor Feeling

Thanks again to Tim, Van and Anthony for all the great products and service they provided in making this come together!
Regards,
Tony

Jim R's .20 Barrel

I swapped out the 18' .22 barrel for the 19-3/4" .20 LW barrel. Total length is just about same as a Condor. See the photo below.

I am amazed just how accurate this setup is. With a Leapers 4-12AO scope with mildot reticle, and no wind, it easily shoots a sub-1/2" group at 50 yards with .20 JSB Exacts.

If I hold a little under one-mildot high at 25 yards (about 3/4"), it's easy to shoot the head off a kitchen match!

Needless to say, I'm very pleased with this setup. Thanks for the great barrel!

Here is Brian B.'s Full Blown Talon With Eighteen Inch Barrel...

Tony,
Thanks so much for your great work on my AirForce Talon .22 rifle!
The trigger is smooth and the gun functions with precision. Your efforts have made the gun quiet and accurate.
Thanks for your help and advice. My custom Talon could not be any better.

Talon To Condor Conversion

1/7/07

Hi Tony!
Had alot of time to shoot my SS finaly! Dude GREAT JOB you did on my Talon!!!! Just wanted you to see her new home in upstate NY.
Have her sighted in at 45 yards. You can see in the pictures, the 4 shots hit the metal targets with no problem at all.This gun is acurate as all hell,WOW!!

Tony did a fine job on my SS to condor project. Porting,polishing,o-ring mods,trigger mods etc!!!
Killer job dude, thanks you're my newest buddy.....Chuck





Isaac J. 03/27/07



Just got my Condor back today bright and early from Anthony266. i opened the box to see a smoothly polished glistening black Condor! on the Condor a new simmons scope plus a beamshot 1001 neatly mounted!

Upon inspected i also notice a 40 dollar check (the guy even sent me money back!) plus my other airforce scope that I sent with the gun neatly wrapped. I also got Tony to make me a custom shroud. I looked through the shroud you could see all kinds of high tech twists and chambers that looked like the Matrix!

I called Tony up and asked him man how do i attach this shroud. Tony told me it was very simple and it could be installed in a few short minutes. I decided to try the Condor out first without the shroud to see how it sounded. the Condor sounded like thunder! i almost looked around to see if lightning was to follow!

I decided to install the shroud. I was thinking the whole time I wanna put this on exactly right.
It took me 2 min tops to install the shroud so I pop in a Eun Jin and pull the trigger. The ony thing I heard was the sound of the hammer strike! This rip roaring Condor was twice an quiet as a Crossman 760, I couldnt believe it!

I called Anthony up and told him of the ordeal and he laughed his ass off and said man im glad you like it. I wanna thank Anthony266 again and I highly recommend this guy to anyone thinking about getting their gun worked......stay tuned for my first kill.

Marc's 25 Yard Group After Bottle Tune.

Using a stock Air Force barrel 18 inches JSB .177 caliber 10.2 grain pellets. This is much quieter than the 18 inch 22 barrel and just as accurate. I just mounted a new scope without making any adjustments. This group was shot very nonchalant. After I get the scope properly adjusted, one small hole I believe could be achieved at this distance. If I take my time and get into the zone. Some may remember I posted I was having a problem with the tank not anymore thanks Tony. When I first had the problem with the tank dumping all the air I called Air Force and they told me it wasn't under warranty but for a charge they could fix it. Since Tony could fix it and make it even better with the O-ring mod. I believe I made the right choice by sending it to Tony. It's much quieter now and I really like the polishing work he did. Fast turnaround always responded promptly to my e-mails, great job at a very reasonable price.
Mark.

Brewmaster Writes...
Well I am a newbie and had Tony build a Talon for me, just went out to shoot it me very happy, At 25yd. in the bull 1in.and 1/2 in for me that is good.At 100yd I hit the target. And for me and all the problems I have I think that was good for me and a 12'' barrel I am happy. Oh, I forgot to say that what I was using were Pyramid Air predator .22 30gr.round nose.

Craig L. 4/29/07

I don't shoot groupings very well in general... but I compared my Logun Solo .22 (w/ JSB Exact Jumbos [avg. FPS 920] ) to my Talon Tuned
Condor- with a Talon tank .22 (w/ Beeman Kodiaks [avg FPS 975]).
*****40 yards*****

After some more poor groups I decided to go for the thumbtacks,
I missed once with the Solo, and didn't miss 3 times in a row
with the condor

Heres some pics of Anthony's fine work...(I rescratched the black on the tank: these pics are after shooting 200 rnds or so),

Actually, I found out from Tony that my condor came with a talon tank (new from Pyramyd)
and the low fps I was seeing was explained right then. I decided to go
with a full tune anyway, (i've heard that the condor
with a talon tank is a good set up) Anthony polished all the internals
(more than my pics reveal) + installed a custom Hammer, also he removed
the bum safety + a little gemming with a polished/ported valve + i'm not
sure but i think he may have tweeked the trigger too. My Condor/Talon now
shoots about 100 fps more than it did pretune. I've clocked Kodiaks
at 999 fps.

Nice work Tony, thanks again,
Craig.

Credit where credit is due. Anthony and my Talon

This report is overdue. I sent my Talon and a pair of tanks to Anthony. I received them back from Anthony a while ago, but only recently was able to really get in and wring it all out.

1. The trigger - outstanding. I've been in to these triggers. If someone had told me the Talon trigger could be made to feel and perform like this, I would have laughed at them. Not any more. The weight is just right for a field gun (as low as I feel is safe) and the let off is clean.

2. The fit and finish of his work is superb. The firing sensation is smooooottthhhhh. The consistency is remarkable. And the gun is very quiet, particularly in light of its energy output.

3. One of the most impressive aspects of his work was balancing the performance of the two tanks. At 3,000psi - the first shots out of both tanks run 865 to 870 fps. That's with Crosman CPs. And both tanks give a steady decline to 815 to 810 fps over 48-50 shots. That is 22+ ft lbs of energy - give or take a pound - over a 50 shot string. I 'Zero' the gun at fifty yards - at 840 fps. The first eight to ten shots off the top of the tank hit a little less than a half inch high. The last eight to ten shots, at the low end of this velocity range, hit a little less than a half inch low. This is certainly easy enough to hold for. The thirty or so shots in between are right down the middle. And even without any compensation, this variation is still well within a 'minute of ground squirrel'.

As a point of interest, I use a couple of bands of the sponge pipe-wrap insulation around the scope tube as pellet holders. Between them, they are punched to hold a total of 50 pellets. Starting with a full tank, and full 'magazine', this system enables me to keep track of the shot count, and if really critical, where to hold early or late in the string. In a 'target rich' environment warranting carrying both tanks - I carry one of the little plastic 'pop-top' breath mint containers with another 50 pellets.

Am I pleased with Anthony's work? You can bet your bippee on that. Thank you Anthony.

Best................!



Same kind of fine work for me as well May 24 2007, 9:25 AM




Anthony has done similar work for me on a TalonSS
The trigger was great and accuracy was outstanding.
Anthony is fair, trustworthy and easy to deal with.

Anthony is to AF what Pual WAtts is to springers.
Worth every penny to get the tune.


I can say the same about the products he makes. May 24 2007, 3:14 PM


The hammer weight for the talon is very well made and polished nice.
It makes cocking the gun smoother and delivers performance.
Higher fill, higher shot count, higher velocity.
Great price. Fast delivery. Once my talondor gets another turn at upgrades,
I know where I will be turning to, again.

Roy From Hawaii 6/12/07

If I bought something off of somebody
who claimed their product was all that and
a bag of chips I would expect that that
person was true to their word and claim.
I know I am. In my third day of field testing of AA266's .25 he built for me
this is some serious shit. How many people on TOG have something built by Tony? I do.
Myself and my friends still cannot fathom that this is an AIR RIFLE.
The power of this Condor boggles our collective lines. I have never met Tony in person,
only spoke with him on the phone.
I gave him the specifications and he delivered.
My good friends are well versed in and have quite a collection of high powered powder burners.
They CANNOT YET get over the fact that this is an air rifle.
Fact is , I have to tell them to stop foaming at the mouth. I take nothing away from any other builders,
but what Tony built for me is honest, quality, and promised Engineering, delivered on time and in full.

Sincerely

DH

Kevin From Pensacola 8/4/07

Tony...

I finally got to spend a bit of time with my Tuned Talon .25 today. If I had to sum it up in a short statement
then I believe that statement to be "FREAKIN' WOW!!!!!!!!"

What a shooter... I had initially zeroed this rifle immediantly after I recieved it. It zeroed nice & easy.
After I shot a prolonged session, I couldn't group it anymore. I didn't know if it was me or my new toy
so I was dissapointed but hopeful. I then brought it to my friends house & his son, Scott was home on leave
froms the Marine Corps. I was happy to have a young pair of eyes do a bit of shooting. He proceeded
to shoot beautiful groups at 35, 50 & 97 yards. This proved to me that my Tony Tune was doing exactly
what I had paid for and that my eyes were having a bad day which happens more times than I like to
admit. I then left the rifle for the week with my friend & his son. Scott shot throughout the week & praised
the rifle & stamped it with his approval. My best friend, also named Tony, then ran a couple of chrony strings
for me and presented me with these numbers. "BEAUTIFUL!!!!!"

Well today was my day to shoot & after checking my zero and doing a 35yard dial in, I proceeded to take
out the black on the center of the bull. I guess that wasn't good enough so I then made sure dead center
was removed. WOW!!! I then shot targets at 40 to 75 yards. I got so cocky that I pulled one shot at 70 yards.
This was my only miss of the day... WOW!!!!

Thank you so much Tony. You've made a groupie out of me...

Kevin


Alden P of Hawaii 8/10/07
Anthony,
I received my talon, and popped a few rounds, at first, I thought it was broken.
All I heard is the sound of the hammer. I had to double check the riffle..
Butt a** quiet...It is awesome!!!
I ran thru a few JSB 's & a few beeman's....
The Beemans seem to shoot better.(H&N match 13.75 gr.)
You are surely a man of your words,
Thanks for doing such a great job, it was worth the long wait. and every penny...
thanks again,
Al **** Jr.



Jeremy S. 8/31/07

Anthony,

This just a short email thanking you for such an excellent job on the
transformation of my stealth into a bad ass Super Stealth. The guns is
so quiet that my neighbors think that I am playing with a toy. Then I
showed them the guns awesome power and shot the legs off of some
outdoor
patio furniture. The were amazed. Every time I look at my gun it puts a
smile on my face! So once again, Thank you!

My Talon Review
I got my Talon SS with a 12” barrel stock in .177 Cal. I was having much fun with it and admired the power.
Accuracy was very impressive to say the least. After browsing the web and looking at air gun information
I discovered Talon Tunes with Anthony 266.

I was very impressed with his pictures and reviews from other people regarding his work with these Talon Air rifles.
The main thing I really wanted here was accuracy and QUIET!! I had accuracy so after consulting Anthony I decided
to ship my Talon SS to him.
I knew it would be a good safe thing but the thing I didn’t realize was how good.
Once Anthony shipped the rifle back to me I immediately took it out of the box and set it up in minuets.
At first when I dry fired the gun I laughed because it sounded
like I was trying to shoot a Talon with an empty tank! All I could hear was the hammer with a very soft whisper.
So now I safely shoot into my brick fence from across the yard and the only noise is the pellet hitting the fence.
No more barking dogs to alert neighbors! I blow up walnuts and you can hear the walnut explode and then you can find the
pellet smashed embedded into the brick fence and it takes a tool to scrape it off or pull it out!
I also enjoy shooting Dragon Fly’s or Rats on the wire at night! I then took the rifle to the range and shot from approximately 40 yards
and I hit .45 cal brass cases and knocked them 30 feet into the air and up on the dirt hill of the range. I also shot empty plastic shotgun shells
knocking them spinning counter clockwise up 30 feet in the air and around 20 feet back clear up on the range hill! People gathered and asked what I was shooting.
The .22 cal pellet from the new custom Lothar Walther 24” barrel Anthony made for me sent the pellet through both sides of the plastic shot gun shell.
Clocked with approx 2900 psi in the Talon’s air tank it was right under 900fps. After approximately 80 shots my pellet started to rise so I used my
Mil dot in my scope to still continue hitting my targets and the Talon was clocked at 700 psi after this many shots.
To make the story short the best thing you can do to your Talon in my opinion is to have Anthony work his machine work on it. I seem to have more shots per each tank fill.
It is so quiet it is funny to show friends or hide from game while operating it.
I plan to by a Condor straight from Anthony and have him modify it all.
Machine work did cost some $$ but it was completely worth every penny!
I will be in touch my friend. Thanks!
Marc

Tony,

I received my tripod today..thank you so much.

I love what you did with my Talon SS. You are a remarkable craftsman. It shoots "dead on" every time. I have only shot about 50 rounds so far & man is she quiet. Your custom shroud certainly makes a world of difference. I can’t get over how much quieter it is with your shroud.

Your custom hammer design is awesome……I love the way it looks. The custom breech knob & work on the tank really dress the gun up.

The trigger is sooooooooooooo smooth!!!

The butt pad on the tank helps out so much. It is now comfortable to shoot my Talon SS….no more neck strain.

Even with the custom butt pad, shroud, custom hammer, breech knob & longer barrel……..I really can’t tell much of a weight difference. The gun is well balanced & loves being shot.

You certainly deliver what you promise. You are a man of outstanding character.

I highly recommend your work to everyone who is interested in owning a Talon that they can be proud of.

Again I thank-you sir for your outstanding craftsmanship!!!

Nan W. (a very happy Texas Talon SS owner)

Anthony,
I would like to thank you for the .25cal shroud and
barrel, it exceeded my expectations. I am real
impressed with the quality of your work. I am also
impressed with how easy it was to drop into my talon,
it took 5 mins. I had a chance to shoot it today at a
little over 40 yards and I was getting ragged one hole
groups! If its this accurate now I cant wait until the
barrel is completly broken in.
Thanks again for the quality work and service,

Condor/Talon Shroud

Nebraska's Lizzy .25 Condor

 

I just have to say thanks again to Tony for my incredible Condor. I broke the chrony out yesterday after not using it for a couple of months. I filled the bottle on my Condor up to 3000psi and dialed the power wheel up to about 4. Using 37g EJ's, the first shot was 1001 fps. The second shot was 999 fps and the 3rd was 997 fps. Wow! I love this freakin' gun. Talk about a powerhouse. The guns from TalonTunes ROCK!!! Thanks Tony!

Nuglor's Condor

 

Gents:

I'm having a little trouble typing and holding my "Super SS" from TalonTunes.com, better known as Tony. If this commentary ends abruptly, it's because I chose to hold my SS.

This is the most beautiful piece of craftsmanship I have ever owned. His workmanship is absolutely awesome, the details flawless. This man, Tony, loves his work. From the beginning of the shroud..to the butt of the tank...his work shines.

Some time ago on this forum, I brought up "....how quiet is quiet?" I thought I had achieved a level of quietness in my SS that was pretty good. "IT SOUNDED LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN" compared to what Tony has done with it. Now its quieter than a baby's burp!
Talent, attention to detail, dedication, it all shows up in his work. I want to hold it all the time. It's like the grandchild I don't have.

It's an SS with an 18" barrel, a full tune, custom shroud, breech knob, valve tune and O-ring, trigger job, vented frame, and custom hammer. It performs like a Jaguar, looks like a Marilyn Monroe, and leaves you with that post ejaculation feeling.......without the mess!

It shoots JSB's at 910fps, Kodiaks at 835fps, on a wheel setting of 6, and a 2900 psi tank fill. I'd rather sleep with it than with my ex-wife. Thank you Tony...you have provided this old man with something I will cherish forever, and filled my heart with gratitude. You are far better at what you do than what my words are able to describe. We are all better people for having known you.

 

He hasn't done any work for me yet but I am saving right now for my Super quiet sniper Mods from Tony I know his work is great because of testimonies like this one.

Good for you Shaky!

Some people get bent and pissed because Tony is doing work no one else is currently doing and they piss and moan when we say how good Tony's work is. The fact is he is a very good craftsmen and knows his stuff. And if Tony was a hack I would be the first one to yell it from the roof tops.... as some of you know.

The fact is his work on these guns is outstanding and he has invested the time and money into buying the machinery and skill to do what he does. Thank goodness he is here to work on guns for those who want it. His work does cost $$ because it is worth it. I am hard to impress and when I got my barrel and shroud from him all I could say was shit...that is awesome.

So here is to you Tony...Good Job....The Rapid has Allen Z and we have Tony A.

And Shaky when they say "The only way they are taking your gun away is by prying it from your cold dead fingers" I think that is an accurate statement for you!

As most of you know, I've touted Tony's work from the moment I got my Condor from him. It is one of the most incredible airguns I've ever owned. Hands down! He does excellent work and more importantly, stands behind it. When I had a problem with the aluminum in my valve starting to seperate, he replaced it at no charge and it works even better than the original one I got from him... if that's even possible. TONY IS DA' MAN!
_________________

 

Tony does top notch work....

I was one who jumped on the chance to have him work on my gun when he first started tuning them. I'll admit at the time, I thought the price for the tune was a bit much, but I try to support various craftsmen and I enjoy the work that 'newcomers' bring as the attention to detail is superb in general.

When I got my Talon back from Tony the cost of the tune was no longer in my head. The gun was awesome. This was before Tony started doing lots of bling on his guns and I got only performance mods. At the time, he didnt even offer jeweling but it didnt matter. The attention to detail was awesome and the performance was awesome. One piece of Tony bling now adorns my Condor as well as a .25 barrel from him and the workmanship is great.

Those that balk at his prices would balk no more if they just had an opportunity to hold one of his creations.
_________________
I love posts like this, and I will add to it.

I havent had any work done on my rifle, but I did get a custom hammer and a .25 barrel from Tony. The barrel included machined bushings, and when I installed the barrel it was almost a vacuum fit. I can not feel any slop whatsoever in the fit.

The one piece hammer has given the gun a whole new level of velocity consistency. Standard deviation is now less than 10fps over 40 shots.

Whenever I think of doing anything to the gun, I check Tony's website to see how he does it.

I think what I like best about the guy, he doesn't act like a high-falutin' ass when you ask questions. Ive never gotten an answer that didn't make sense, and they all worked.

My glass is raised Tony. *clink*

 

Pretty amazing, Huh! I love my TT custom .25 Condor. I wish you newer members could have seen my old TOG posts regarding my bird. I'll see if I can find some.

Nuglor.... do you prefer "Noogz" or "Nugz" for short? You got one bad ass .25. That my friend is a FACT. I'm gonna go have a look at mine as I'm jonesin' for a fix.

His .25 setups are really something. I think you will like the 4500psi fill tank and the shroud will give your rig the stealth it may need. I ordered a Talon tank with mine as well as the Condor one, and the Talon tank gets used the most around my house and it shoots at 45fpe. When you start shooting the .25 setup you may not want to go back to the .22 barrel.

 

He did a tank mod for me and all I can say is I cant see why you would have a tank that wasn't reworked by Tony. Shoots great and looks even better.
I think my next move will be from a AirHog shroud to one of Tony's sweet lookin' models. ( In .25 of corse! )

 

Don't have much to say on this one.

Tony's work is first class.

Tony's people skills are top- notch.

Never met him in person, but in my mind he will always be that old guy in Shooter that lived in a compound deep in the woods and really knows his shit about rifles and ballistics but seems just half a bubble off center.
