Airforce Airforce experts i need your help!

Hello I have an airforce condor in .25 I picked up awhile ago and have done extensive upgrades to I am currently try to get better fps by upgradeing the tophat and bought a one piece highflo from talon tune upon getting the tophati was disappointed to find it did not fit my valve on my tank.

The old top hat stem measures .247
The high flo measures .282
(I will put pics for references)

My question is did airforce come out with a valve that fits this tophat or do you need to buy the valve from talon tunes as well?

If airforce did have a valve that fits this tophat how do i identify it besides the tophat measurement.

I'm not an expert, but yup, I had the same issue where I had a top hat that was too big for the Airforce CO2 adaptor, which has the 0.246 (I round up to 0.25) stem. That bigger valve stem (I round to 0.28), will fit the newer Airforce HI-FLO valve, which comes installed on their bottle/tank of that name. I don't know if you can buy just the valve seat (the brass part that sits in the tank); I don't see on the Airforce website but you could call them and ask. I hear they can be very accomodating.
I don't see the rest of a HI-FLO valve on Talontunes but you could ask them too. I do see one left of their Quick Change Top Hat, which has replaceable orifices to adjust power. That HAS a 0.25 stem and should fit your existing valve/tank. I just got one for said CO2 adaptor and it appears to flow ~10% more gas than the stock top hat (plus it can be tuned down with the smaller orifices).
The Talontunes valve stem/top hat might flow more air than the Airforce one, but the Airforce HI-FLO will accept the Ring-loc orifices if you want to _reduce_ power or add efficiency. And the AF design can be adjusted so there is no slop between the breech and the top hat.

Love the stock!
