Regulated Condor 4500 PSI Overview, With FX Heavy Slug Liner, Titanium Plenum and Altaros Reg
I have an update on the Condor for you, finally putting it back together with a few small changes to the valve stem that will hopefully improve performance. Although when I went to gas it up my regulator started leaking again, so I have some work to do there.

AirForce Condor 22 cal. Heavy Slug Liner Test Two -- Valve Failure at the Range
Переглядів 3,7 тис.2 роки тому
Making videos is still a work in progress for me but I'm stiving to get you more content on the projects I'm working on. This day at the range didn't go quite as expected (I likely filed too much when porting the stem), but I did get 3 decent groups at 50 yards. The best group (minus one flyer) was the first averaging about 1014FPS, group two that didn't make it on camera was the most consisten...
The Pellet Shop - AirForce Condor .22 Regulated with Tannerite
Переглядів 45 тис.2 роки тому
ThePelletShop.com / Airgun Channel contest. I decided to shoot some video of my most resent trip to the range to test out a few new mods to my Condor. I love pushing my airguns to the limits, then moding them and making new limits. If anyones interested in what I've done or am doing or even reviews product I'm using, let me know in the comments.

How big is your plenum
@@tonynooyen2423 works out to about 88cc
What is your barrel
@tonynooyen2423 The FX Heavy Slug Liner, it does pretty good for such a thin barrel. Plenty accurate for what I'm doing, but in an airforce frame, you'd likely have to employ various tuning methods for competition. Just because the harmonic nodes are very tight.
@@cormastar thanks for the time. Just getting into the pcp rifles n kinda hooked
@@cormastar sorry to bother you more but I haven’t any luck finding mounts to hang the bottle in front like you any suggestions
@tonynooyen2423 No worries, I tried to use off the shelf items as much as possible, it comes down to the regulator. The reg attached to the tank, scope rings hold the reg to the airgun, DOT air fittings and HP nylon tubing to take the air to the valve chamber. I did have to make an adapter for the scope ring to reg since the rings are 34mm and the reg is closer to 32mm.
@@cormastar thanks appreciate the pointers
Where do I find the parts to set up my condor like your stock n tank position
Soy de argentina tengo un af condor calibre 22. Que tipo de municion y en que numero de rueda lo utiliza
Try making a few different thickness 'Bumper' spacers for the Tophat. Use Delrin. You'll get more control that way. BTW, what is the volume of your plenum?
Yes! I've tried different things but 3d printed spacers have been the easiest. Plenum I've calculated is between 600 and 700 CC
Hi .. would be great if you could show how to assemble the fx liner to be used in the condors..👍
Did I spot a vintage CenterFlag paintball gauge?!? Also, what dovetail to pic conversion rail are you using?
I have a long history with paintball and HPA gear, so when PCP airguns came along, it was a natural fit. The Pic rail is a stick of 5/8 rail blank that I machined a slot to fit over the dovetail. Drilled and tapped the dovetail to bolt it on.
@@cormastar Same! I went from multiple time national champion paintball player to airgun competitor nowadays! There is no prize money in paintball and greed has ruined competing - total clownshow to go win a national event and your prize is "free entry" to the next one.... Oooof. Plus I am getting old and 25+ years of paintball has left my body pretty messed up... That's a good way to do it with the solidly mounted rail you did. I don't have machine shop access so mine are all bolt on. I've got a video coming soon for some crazy regged Condor setups....
How can this possibly set off tannerite? I thought you needed a 30-06
i have a fx heavy liner in my custom frame condor as well in .22 ! but i managed to press a steel liner for it with 14mm barrel bushing to hold it to the frame. the last 330mm i have a 16mm OD, 14mm ID carbon cover using the original 16mm end cap. mines not regulated but hooked to a 500cc tank and pcptunes extreme flow valves and 109gr hammer, fluted delrin breech. i exclusively shoot 55gr cast spitzers which are 16.8mm long and it drives them at 1050 fps down to 930 fps from 2850 psi down to 1700 psi. I get 25 - 30 shots with power wheel set to 0.
Awesome! I'm still working to create the perfect valve but PCPtunes and TalonTunes see to have the secret sauce when it comes to high power valves. Where did you get a steel liner?
@@cormastar as crazy as it may sound, I found some readymade liners in one of my traveling jaunts. I work in the automotive industry and in my travel once to west Java Indonesia, there is this village I encountered called 'cipacing' where almost everyone is a gunsmith and had lots of modified parts for the Condor ! You should Google the place , I am not kidding! The mold is also from there .
Độ chính xác không cao
Very cool design. I'm planning on making a .30 Texan but like the fx panthera design, with the plenum in the same position as yours, but with a 300cc cylinder below to refill the plenum
Deve pesar uma tonelada 😢
This is what I want to do with my mine. Is there a way to message you to get more details on your setup?
Sure, cormastar@gmail.com
Very nice.
Wind shouldn't affect the plug imo it because the the tension kit pushes you barrel to the right when you crank down on the barrel clamp that has a big gap in it on the right side I could be wrong with your set up but on my set up it does push it to right because of the gap that clamp has thanks for sharing bsafe buddy 👍
Interesting, never seen anyone do this before. 👍🏻
You need to do a video on the forward bottle setup
Very cool set up bro well done

But will it shoot
I liked your design of the cylinder at the front, for me too, the valve has stuck open. Another subscriber and congratulations on the channel!
BORING BORING NOTHING S O S
Crappy groups at 100. 😔
Que cara ruim de tiro não acerta o meio do alvo de jeito nenhum.
how many cc for plenum tube do you have
It works out to about 88cc, little bigger than an FX at 72cc.
I think at a certainpoint I think you will hit diminished returns on reg pressure. At the end of the day the barrel volume is fixed. Let's say a given velocity = X pressure at the mussel we could say that the velocity resulted from a barrel pressure of X (hypothetical number 800psi). It will always take the same amount of air to fill the barrel volume to a given pressure. What will change is the function over time or shot cycle. At some point efficiency will go down, I think there will be a happy place in the middle somewhere. I think lowwer pressure feals smother personally.
I have also found barrel tensioning makes a difference in harmonics. I played around with it on my jsar raptor and I also bought the fx barrel tuner and that thing is gold! I have it on my condor currently and am very impressed with the results. I can't speak for the impact mk3 but I make the Griffin slugs so I test a lot of slugs In different rifles. The mk2 handles the power well but it definitely feals different then pellets.
Awesome build. What size plenum did you make? And what valve are you using? I did something kinda similar as far as a full power regulated setup. I think my plenum came out to 122cc and it's a beast. Always looking for parts or ideas.
I was restricted by the buffer tubes dimensions for the stock to fit, came out to approx 88cc. Homemade valve, and as for the numbers it's proof you don't need 4k unregulated to make power. Check out ua-cam.com/video/DGuv-XupNN4/v-deo.html
@@cormastar yeah I agree. I have mine set to 2550 psi and I'm getting about 105 fpe shooting 60gn slug at 895fps in .25 cal. If you feal like you ever want to sell a barrel kit for the fx liner deal I would be interested. Also I have the same issue with my huma reg and filling restrictions. Luckily the version I had made has lots of extra fill ports lol. I found a should piece on ebay that had female m18 threads on the top and male m18 on the bottom. Basically I just had a air cylinder cut to length and had a adapter made to thread into a huma inline reg. Everything is rated for 300 bar fill but I only go upto 250 because of the huma rating.
For testing anything, you will need better shooting contitions and a steadier shooting platform.
I was gonna say the same thing as you lol. Was wondering why in the heck all his shoots scatter.
Nice shooting. Loved the Tannerite.
What state are you in?
Washington state
I could really use your help in my set up?
I'm still learning myself but I'd be happy to help if I can. What do need?
This is not the fx one so it’s kinda misleading
I did mention in the description and in the video that it's not an FX product but it does tension my FX barrel. I don't own the FX version but based on what I've seen I suspect the results will be mush the same. 😉

Super
Was that person trying to say anything of any importance over Spielberg's intro music, Darling, just give us the Facts & the Evidence, your choice of music is rather irrelevant
True that, it's my second time editing a video. Just downloaded Movavi a while ago and still working on it.
@@cormastar pretty good for second time
So much money spent and waisted time on this stuff. The FX impact is officially an older design but when it came out was just about top notch with few flaws. Today FX has stepped up because they know all these things. They introduced the Maverick line to cut out all the extra seals and gadgets for tuning making it super simple for everyone. Sometimes taking things a little slower is better. Always proven someway. The wildcat mk3 is about the simplest way to go. My theory which I've been searching and shooting air rifles over 45 yrs is you have the smallest caliber and the biggest calibers to choose. Therefore instead of fooling with making your air rifles shoot way heavy projectiles and spending on moding and time, just reach up to the next bigger caliber is the easiest way! I've been hunting and doing pesting on 13 big farms for a lifetime living the air gunnars dream. Its always worked perfectly to choose the correct caliber for the need. If your having problems or spending too much time trying to perfect, try this. I know it works. You can always put aftermarket baffles in the air rifles helps a lot. And turn down the power a notch.Air rifles nowadays are more than enough power in itself and most could even say a Weapon!Ed da pro snippin backyard man💥💪😎
For money I have maybe 40 dollars into the tensioner system, so as far as upgrades go I felt it was worth trying (even if only for the looks). Time is just another excuse to go shooting, which for me is always fun. As for caliber I ran into that with my AirForce Condor in .22 Cal, back in the day I couldn't find ammo heavy enough to be stable so I changed it out to .25, now Condor is back .22 Impact is .25 and Talon is .30. I do probably spend more time in the machine shop doing mods than shooting but I do enjoy both. 😉
That's definitely most stupid idea in whole airgun world. I've glued slug liner inside stiff carbon pipe using liquid metal epoxy resin from Chester Molecular. That's all. Slugs are flying one by one into one hole.
It's a system used in the modern firearm world and it certainly affected accuracy. Do you need it to be accurate, No. But if you're doing outdoor shooting in direct sunlight it may help and for finding different accuracy to FPS ranges.
FX M3 ,,its the best ,,🙏👍🇮🇩
Nici like pren
You earned my subscription.. great job
Not seeing your accuracy results after you replaced the original with the new tensioner kit.
The group's side by side are pretty close by the measurements the tensioner did group tighter but it would have been better at 100 yards.
Great video and great work on your condor. I replaced the bolt o rings on mine with a 2x7.5mm and 2.5x7mm o rings respectively. It went from losing an average of 20fps between shots to only 2-5fps between each consecutive shot. I've also rebarelled mine with a 580mm kral barrel, and easily get 73 ft-lbs. These are great guns. Looking forward to more content.
Isn't it amazing how much the wind affects it! I suppose the pellets are super light, it makes sense, even at that short distance
You would know all about that guitar tuning!
are you using an aftermarket regulator? If so, which one are you using?
Yes, The Condor is running an Altaros regulator I bought off eBay, I have also used a China regulator from eBay as well.
Best 👍👍
Good video. I just got an M3 Sniper .25 and I could not agree more with your assessment. The gun is smooth, accurate, very well designed and infinitely adjustable. Loving it...
I preordered one and am still waiting 🤔
I preordered M3 last year from Pyramid Air it took about two months for me to receive it I also preordered a Maverick two years ago and it took about two months to receive so hopefully you won’t have to wait no more than two months
Ya, my M3 took a month from Utah Air but they said .22 Cal would have been two, as for the barrel tensioner kits I know a select few have them but I'm curious if they are shipping to the general public yet? 🤔
@@cormastar I was told by the end of July
Nice video , keep it going on !
