Airforce FrankenTalon on the Chrony

Apolo Monster 25.4gr, not as tight as group as the Barra. Good consistency speed wise. 2200psi, That 50cc plenum on the Huben Power Cricket Max-ATH really makes a difference. I think I will adjust down to 1800psi see what kind of power i get.

Looks like that larger reg really working out. I have the smaller 'cricket' reg on a lower powered setup I built up from junk. Now that I think about it, I cant recall the numbers but want to say around 800fps with 8gr .177. I got the reg used, otherwise, I much prefer the look of the one you have (as well as the added plenum volume).
 
I've got both the Max-ATH and the Z-valve. The Z has a 20cc plenum vs the Max 50cc.
To get the same results with the Z as the Max it runs about 2200psi vs 1800psi on the Max.

But the 25.4gr pellets, heavy spring, 90g hammer and high flow valve use a LOT of air even at 1800psi.

Have to admit if this gun hadn't been so cheap I'd never have bought an AF gun. Didn't think I was a fan of single shot. It has grown on me.

Now I want to put the 25 cal barrel in, maybe even 24 inch.

Took the Sumo off. Put the 6 inch Talon Tunes back on as it is much quieter.

Now the question is, .25 19" or 24" 🤔?
