I have, and they're great.

I have some close-ups on it in this video:

Now if Tony would start adding a plenum and internal reg, that would be the bees knees!

I agree that would be great. However I have learned shooting tethered at 1200-1500psi with inline reg will give you more power than you need & consistency is excellent.
Just pointing out it’s a possibility to go this way and I prefer it for groups.
For walking or hunting out yeah nobody wants to carry a SCBA & regman.

I watched the video and that’s not quite what I had in mind after reading the Talon Tunes description of the product’s benefit.

In the description and subsequent photos TT is making it seem like Texan owner won’t get a comfortable cheek-weld as the Airforce Texans come from the factory. I’d like to know if any members can validate this claim.

@AirShootist In your video you added a larger reservoir that appears to put the cheek-weld around the same place as the factory reservoir. So your mods are interesting but didn’t seem to address Talon Tunes’ claim in the write-up for this adapter.

ok, I have two Condors and I like them, selling one but I might be interested in the drop down,I have extra tall rings plus 5/8" dovetail to picayinny rail riser just to get a view through the scope, and my cheek is tight against the tank..
I prefer the scope to be close to the bore, but so far it hasn't been a problem..
note the Condor's are stock except for the Donny FL adapter.. one is a Condor SS and the other one is a Condor 24" barrel both in 22.
I wanted the built in SS but I also wanted to do long distance shooting, but I gave up on that because I am shaking too much to keep a target in the scope, bench rest at 100 yards.. it's a thyroid problem I've been having for years and I thought it was better, but it decided not to be recently..
so I'm just shooting 50 yards to have fun, so I don't need extra barrel for long distance although the longer barrel has quite a bit more power.. the SS has plenty.. I put the Donny FL shogun on the long barrel and as long as you turn it down enough to not be super sonic it works well..
I'm the SS it helps slightly only when you shoot super sonic..
the long barrel will easily shoot the jsb 34 grain beasts super sonic..

anyone know how much height you change with the drop down??
it looks like you take the valve off the tank and put the drop down in between..does that void the warranty?
the Condor is the most powerful airgun I've ever shot and extremely simple.. I've had a couple good days and was able to make one pellet on top of the other for a few shots at 50 yards on 3" spinner..

[AirShootist]

thanks, that's a decent amount of drop.. probably could just use the rail then..

Sorry to hear about the shakies. I'm working around my 66 year old eyes with astigmatism in my shooting eye.

Who on the forums has used any version of these adapters?

I have the version 1 on my Talon 22. Many problems with the Gauge, very inaccurate with only 3 full threads to keep leaks and gauge from blast off. After three trips to Tony only very slow leak left with me marking gauge at 2900 and 1800 psi. Drop down helps but never really bothered me not having it in the previous ten years. Having a fill port almost worth the whole $120. YMMV, but always wondered why AF never cut a deal with Tony as the version 1 was his main thing during the old TAG forum days. Note that with the V1 you have to drill collect to properly clock the adapter, not sure on newer frames.

I see a lot of complaints about the cheek weld on the airforce guns. Look at a lot of the bullpups. E.G. AGT Vulcan 3. I have one and the pic rail isn't any higher than the dove tail on the condor and talon I also own, if it is it's marginal. Now I will agree the radius of the bottle could make a difference to some.
