I was wondering if you can still buy a Condor Doug Noble valve? I just saw a YouTube video of Tofazfou's Adventures with a .224 Noble valve in a Douglas barrel 12 twist. He is saying 45 grain slugs at 1300 fps.in 28 inch barrel. Heavy slugs over 60 grain1100fps. I would like to do same.thing.....Already have a 27.5 inch 12 twist .222 barrel.for my condor... I emailed Doug? Waiting for reply...Anyways Thanks

I know a guy that can build a way better valve than doug... Doug thinks he knows everything me and brent hoag with extreme big bore have pissed him off because we tell truth.... and my buddy that builds a way better valve than him he got pissed with him too Logan hernandez builds one hell of a valve in .457 his texan with his long custom hammer and custom valve guts gets 1000fpe

Also imo I think the airforce inline valve is over rated I know several air tube guns that will kick a Texans ass in power and and accuracy and not have stripped out screws but that's just my 2 cents

Yes you can. Contact Doug @ [email protected]. Absolutely the best valve for Air Force line. The best, not the most powerful. Big difference.
I don't think he's even building the barrels and valves any more last time I talked to him he said he wouldn't be making any more that was before he threw a temper tantrum cause I was simply asking about his valve vs other ones on the market...

Bull crap. Just got a .257 valve from him last month . He probably don't want to deal with you Conner.

I have a couple of his valves, hammers and barrels he modified for AF frames. Beautiful craftsmanship - for example the contouring/venting on the venting on the valve stem is all done by hand and is meticulously formed and polished.

You are simply mad because you didn't get what you wanted..and he didn't sell you any because he doesn't have to prove anything to no body dumb nuts .. especially not to you , questioning his work .. up today there is no other. 22 gun on the market more powerful than that Doug. 224 . Not tube gun no bottle gun .. the same for any othe caliber AF that he decide to work on . Of those valves I have 5 + a few barrels and one regulator of his making ... That your friend does AF work to that is great the more machinists the better for all of us but there is no need to trash talk some one because they didn't sell you something because you annoyed the person with child questions, that is why he or Cedric don't make post in any fourum anymore to many smart ass people changing a post in to a pis contest ... I have never damaged a AF tread and I had those guns 2 of them for almost 10 years.. so you wining about damaged treads tells me something about your talent working on guns.
inline valves have been the most powerful up to date .. but is a reality that times n technology are changing and getting closer to the inline valve power .. that is more real now than a year ago ..
I want a quality valve with power..I have 2 Airforce Condors builds and was.thinking of buying one good valve and 0.5 L CF tank and using on both builds...I won't be using them both at same time...So one day rig one night rig both Pennsylvania Small Game Legal thus I have to have .22 caliber pcp, biggest allowed... I really want a pcp to hunt with on our Pennsylvania property... It seems to me Doug has a good high quality custom valve... I'm appreciative for.the work he has done for Airforce.... I ordered a hammer spring from Doug and his price was good, it helped me out...Thanks again

Lol okay every pbba big bore I've got has been power tuned by me and shoot amazing same for my marauder .22 I bet john bowman scandalous .257 will beat that .257 airforce anyday..... I had a Condor 2 screws stripped out 1 for the barrel and 1 for the set screw.... it's aluminum.... pbba and my xp badger 40 and marauder have been amazing guns... and i didn't annoy him with child questions idiot..... I simply asked a couple of questions about his valve when me and brent hoag at extreme big bore start building guns in a little while doug noble will be crying his commiefornia tears again I guess like he did on the old forums before with brent hoag and my buddy that's got a texan. 457 with his custom parts that's making way more power than doug nobles crap.... my buddies texan power kit was so powerful the shroud would blow up and other silencers.... and you have to upgrade the carrier tube from that crappy plastic to a steel carrier tube and steel breech to handle it....

PBA guns are made to do power on high fill pressure 4000 psi + really good looking guns.. Doug big bores are made to make the most power at 3600 psi .. fill one of his Texans to 4,500psi and you will see how the numbers go .. that is what he likes.. your friend gun is surely making all that power on more than 4000psi wich is perfectly fine that is what your friend likes .. me personally don't have a use for anything bigger that 308. You surely are mad because it didn't go your way..
... side note the 3 pice shrouds that Doug makes don't blow in to pieces so who's is making crapy parts .. I have not seen a Doug part blow in to pieces....scandalous are beautiful guns to bu by now way a match for condor..my 257 condor barrel is 30" in preload 1 at 3100 psi it shoots 85gr at 1000fps.. a scandalous could only dream on making such power.. it need it to more that 3600psi to do decent power..

Wrong again buddy terry tate guns were built for 3000psi..... but I'm getting a heavy spring for both of mine for 4500 psi from john bowman for way more power...PBA guns are made to do power on high fill pressure 4000 psi + really good looking guns.. Doug big bores are made to make the most power at 3600 psi .. fill one of his Texans to 4,500psi and you will see how the numbers go .. that is what he likes.. your friend gun is surely making all that power on more than 4000psi wich is perfectly fine that is what your friend likes .. me personally don't have a use for anything bigger that 308. You surely are mad because it didn't go your way..
So what it needs a certain pressure to make more power....I'm not gonna argue with Mr airforce fan boy all day....

The shroud that blew apart on logans 1000fpe .457 was the shroud that comes with the gun from airforce...... and your wrong about the scandalous power 1000 fps with a 100 grain slug your only doing 1000fps with a 85 grain slug....PBA guns are made to do power on high fill pressure 4000 psi + really good looking guns.. Doug big bores are made to make the most power at 3600 psi .. fill one of his Texans to 4,500psi and you will see how the numbers go .. that is what he likes.. your friend gun is surely making all that power on more than 4000psi wich is perfectly fine that is what your friend likes .. me personally don't have a use for anything bigger that 308.

Not wrong.. my barrel is 30" my pressure fill 3100 .. his barrel is 36" long fill pressure is 3500psi at minimum.. I have read the post about the scandalous and it was not 3000psi fill gun in order to make decent power
