Airforce Talon P Carbine .25

Just picked up a .22 talon P. Have a .25 the .22 will complement it nice
I decommissioned my 22 but still have the barrel. The 22 and the 20 calibers shoot absolutely fantastic. The 177 is a real close second and getting better. With PA's black friday deal it's real tempting.

Is there a way to convert this to a 30 cal?

Yes it could be done, this one has a 27" TJ 1-26 twist.. power is managed by a external regulator at 2,800psi it shoots 50gr at 980fps -- 106 fpe . AT preload 1 . Next month a new TJ 1-16 twist.. 30" long - .30 barrel would be here for some slug fun.
 
They are all single shot. "Carbine" only means that it is a short two-handed gun, relatively (I would say "rifle" but the word pre-dates rifling). But look it up and report back! Like, why are short rifles called "carbines"? What are the advantages and disadvantages? You are already asking the important questions, now we want answers!
wikipedia has the following to say

A carbine (/ˈkɑːrbiːn/ KAR-been or /ˈkɑːrbaɪn/ KAR-byn)[1] is a long gun that has a barrel shortened from its original length.[2] Most modern carbines are rifles that are compact versions of a longer rifle or are rifles chambered for less powerful cartridges.

Personally , I thought it strictly refers to a semiautomatic rifle, like a ruger 10/22 is what I think of when I see the word. I thought the talon was a pistol that could be taken down from a carbine, and then set back up as one.
As for the Talon being single shot, that is disappointing, because when I thought it was semi auto my mind was blown regarding the rest of its specs. Ive never heard of a semi auto pistol with that kind of power. But I am not even a noob when it comes to airguns, I don't even have onew, I was looking at buying one and came here to find to take advantage of the knowledge base, which is considerable, and thats fitting because there is a considerable amount of options

That's a great deal. I contemplated purchasing it but I like short guns. My last Condor was 53" with the can attached.

Talontunes has their kit for $500.
Note that the 0.30 barrel is so big in diameter that it needs their bigger breech, which needs their bigger valve/top hat. And that 0.30 valve/top hat will only fit the hi-flo bottles (that come with the ring-loc top hat; condor and escape, 0.28 stem?) and not the bottles with the grub-screw valve/top hat (talons, 0.25 stem?).
Other than that it all works well. .30 roundball are kinda fun, they leave with a lot of power but don't go far.

I have both the .22 cal and the .25 cal barrels for my Escape UL. For hunting I use the .25 cal barrel shooting either the H&N 30.89 pellets or the Apolo 33 gn slugs from about 2300 psi down to about 1800 psi for about 10 shots @ ~60 fpe. (Hand pump friendly of course but I do have a compressor) I like the .22 cal barrel for target shooting and a few more shots per fill at about 45 fpe. It also likes the same ammo, H&N 21 gn pellets and Apolo 21 gn slugs. With the Sig Romeo red dot, the Escape UL weighs about 5 lbs and is the perfect small/medium game rifle for long woods walks IMHO! Sometimes swap the Sig sight with one of my Vector Optics 1-6 scopes if I want to shoot longer distances. I too have taken crow at 100 yards with this rifle so it can accurately reach out and touch something when necessary.

I have also owned Condors in both .22 and .25, but at my age now, the Escape UL is perfect for me...
