    Airforce AirForce Talon valve won't seat in Huben Max-ATH Universal Regulator

    The vendor in the US is an authorized Huben dealer. He got a nonsense response from Huben along the lines of "the threads are worn and that's why it won't screw into the regulator" I'm working with the vendor and hopefully the Huben customer service rep didn't understand the problem. I sent...

    Airforce AirForce Talon valve won't seat in Huben Max-ATH Universal Regulator

    The valve / tophat is original to the rifle, purchased by me circa 2006. This was pre-SpinLoc.

    Airforce AirForce Talon valve won't seat in Huben Max-ATH Universal Regulator

    I bought (from a Huben authorized vendor in the US) a Huben Max-ATH 50cc Universal regulator for my AirForce Talon SS, pre-Spin-Loc. The valve won't fully screw into the regulator, leaving about a 3/32" gap between the valve's base and the regulator. It looks like it needs a relief cut in the...

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    I decided to use my own Talon valve and went with the Max-ATH universal regulator, sold by High Pressure Pneumatics from Michigan https://myhighpressureair.com/huben-power-cricket-max-ath-with-50cc-plenum/ The shipping was only $7.82 which beats the $33 charged from the Huben site itself and...

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    Thanks for your help and the video. I couldn't find anything similar on the internet illustrating that the Regulator would swivel. Rachel at AirForce was kind enough to send me the instructions for installation of their Spin-Loc retrofit kit, which I've attached for anyone who comes upon this...

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    I will probably not buy a separate high flow valve - at least not for a long while. Although Nick, the rep at Huben suggested the version that takes the original AF valve, when Air Shootist was reviewing the version with the top hat, he was getting pretty good speeds on a .25 cal Condor, so...

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    Is there an adjustment somewhere on the ATH-Max regulator to get the gages and fill nipple in the correct orientation? How do you do that? I couldn't find the installation instructions on line to see if that was mentioned.

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    Thanks for both of your responses. Nick at Huben power recommended the universal variant of the Max-ATH. That way I wouldn't have to mess with changing out the threaded insert in the Talon frame and I'd still have a burst disc in the valve - I don't think there is one in the regulator. It's...

    Airforce Regulator Choice for Airforce Talon SS

    I am the original owner of an older generation pre-Spin Loc Talon SS. I guess my thought process was that I'd like to have a gage that shows the tank pressure and a quick fill Foster port, like on a Spin-Loc, but for the money to update to an official Spin-Loc I might just as well add a little...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    Out of curiosity I went to the hardware store and bought an O ring. It's 5/8" outside diameter and 1/16" thick. 1/2" inside diameter. I only had enough ambition to pump the 500 ml bottle to 100 bar. I checked it and so far no leaks. The O ring is not as thick as the original seal nor is it...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    I had a tank leak one year after I bought the Talon SS and AirForce did the repair (whatever it was) for free / under warranty, but I had the expense of shipping. I'm not sure they'd replace the seals for free on a 19 year old product since they're considered wear items. I didn't pursue it...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    I am the original owner, but the warranty excludes O Rings and seals. Oh, well, it was only a little over $5 for OEM parts shipped.

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    I just got off the phone with AirForce and ordered two seals. They have updated their SKU numbers and the numbers above were AirForce numbers. The seal for the brass valve core, formerly GP10848 is now ANC 000848 and is 95 cents The seal for the valve body to the bottle, formerly GP 10132 is...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    My plan is to get the current valve working correctly first. The next step will be buying a GX-CS2 compressor. I'm tired of hand pumping. That inhibits my use of the pcp rifle. The compressors all use a Foster fitting and I found a fill adapter with 7/8-14 [m22x1.75] screw threads on one end...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    Thanks for the responses from both of you. Before I had posted here I had inquired by email or on their web form [I forget how I initiated the contact since that was last week] and asked about what might be causing the valve leak and also what it would cost to upgrade to the spin loc system they...

    Airforce Talon SS - leaking valve - need info on rebuild

    I bought the Talon SS new circa 2006 and this is from before spin-loc bottles. I haven't used it in quite awhile and now the bottle won't hold air. The leak appears to be around the threads of the brass insert. I have looked on this site for instructions on how to replace the seals and what o...
