I picked up a non-working .22 Talon SS a month or so back. My first foray into AirForce. Didn't hold air and the seller was not mechanically inclined. Got it cheap
.
Fixed the valve on the bottle, o'ring came out in 3 pieces. That made the gun serviceable. Fired it didn't chrony.
I had a 1.1L fat bottle from one of my less stellar *ideas* and figured WTF and ordered a Cricket Z-Valve from Huben Power. It arrived and is now installed with the 1.1L and in the "does it hold air overnight" testing phase.
In the mean time I ordered a bunch of parts from Trajectron in India. Springs, hammers, Spin-Loc kit. The latter turned into a farce so that got put to the back of the queue.
Ordered some high flow (6mm orifice) internals for the standard valves from AliExpress.
Tomorrow I'll put it through the chrony and see how it works with the Huben/1.1L combo. Try some pellets and slugs, get the baseline with the same mid-point power setting.
Once all the parts are in I'll play with the high flow valve, 2 different hammers and a heavy spring. Probably start with the Huben Regulator to see how it does with the heavy hammer and spring. Then the high flow valve.
I have a Huben MAX-ATH Universal coming in so I may see if that 50cc plenum adds anything to the mix.
Still not a fan of the single shot form factor. Lacks the instant gratification of a Semi auto and the usability of a bolt/lever action.
