I don’t see much discussion of anyone working with these airguns so maybe I am talking to myself here. Not a lot on YouTube other than simple reviews.
These are kind of like a Talon P and a condor but with a smoother lever action and half-cut barrel at the breech end for a loading like a Texan. NOT BAD!! I understand the single shot unregulated airgun is not for everyone but if it is this seems like a great addition to the airforce guns.
The one thing I miss is the power wheel. The Rex can be cocked to two different spring compressions for low or high power but that’s it, so I wonder if anyone has tried some of the basic tuning with this platform that we see people having used with the Air Force platform.
Here is one thing I tried: some o rings behind the valve cap. Two thicknesses, shooting at low power they lowered peak speed by 40 and 60 fps with .357 roundball. I’m packing up to move so I did not have time to test it thoroughly but I get a few more shots per fill at low power with the o ring.
i guess a stiffer spring, porting, or hammer spring spacers would be needed to push power in the other direction.
I don’t know what is a good performance for this airgun in terms of pressure loss per shot. It seems like the pistol loses 50 bar per high powered shot… the rifle maybe 20 due to larger tank. my chronograph is packed up for a move, but when I get settled in to my new location I plan to do some careful testing of these and look at shot strings and curves and see how they perform.
Turns out it is possible to get support here in the US and Veradium Air can service these and get parts. Also airgunproshop. I’m hoping to get a couple of parts from them in the near future and really glad both of these companies exist to support users of these airguns.
Rambled for a while there but if anyone has any suggestions or tips for using these guns I’d love to hear them. As I learn more about what options exist for modifying these guns, good ammo, etc. I will post it here.
