That air force platform was the most frustrating setup to shoot accurately for me I have the condor ss with .22 and .25 cal barrels 18”. Purchased the top hat restrictor kits to tone velocity down so I could use .25 cal. In a lighter pellet. That preload adjuster settled in for me around the 4 mark. I found what contributes to the most accuracy improvement was a top hat shim to limit valve stroke, especially as pressure started to fall lower than 2500 psi. Also removing hammer spring weight spring and adjuster assembly to clean out the tube housing and all related components. Re lubricated with a thin coating of ballistol. Leaps and bounds better than it was in its stock form.
Is there a reason that these Air Force guns don’t have a regulator on them? BTW thanks for the information on the 34 grain velocity down range. Basically I loose 200 FPS at 100 yards from the muzzle. Not to shabby! Very cool info.
Because they're hunting guns not Target Guns, the name of the game is high power within a Killzone, instead of trying to put every pellet on to the same point.
As far as the Escape series is concerned, this is their bug-out, survival line of airguns. A regulator could be built in, and I know there are some folks out there building them, but it will add to the complexity of the air rifle and increase the number of failure points. On their big-bore rifles I think the main challenge would be to have plenum space big enough to feed the beast. Regulating something like a .22 or .25 Condor might be an easier task.
@@WiscAirGunners Thank you for stating that , I highly agree. Not every gun made has to have a regulator , and Airforce is a good example . For sheer power down range they are hard to beat . They are hunting guns and not bench queens .
