Has anyone on the forum purchased this kit? Is this valve American Made, can't tell from the website?
-
its chinese junk.
my 1st choice would be a Talon Tunes valve. Tony isn't cheap, but his products are time tested... thousands of happy customers.
my 2nd choice would be an R&L airgun supply extreme valve... again, time proven. both of these valves give you lots of power.
However....
My 18" condor SS hit 90 fpe easily with stock valve, top hat, hammer, and spring.
when i had the 24" barrel, i hit 110 fpe... all stock parts. thke stock equipment can flow, and produce more numbers than you would imagine. its all in the tuning, and understanding of the rifle.

I believe it is a copy of Doug's valve ... his valve is a work of art.

I could not have said it better.
If you have a .257,. 30 etc Condor, yes you will need to play around .... but my 25cal Condors are getting 975++fps with 34 gr pellets with a PW set from 5 to 6 at the most ! ... these guns are monsters and the ONLY real mod was a O ring under the Top Hat.

I recently purchased a Condor SS .25 and I have the 24" barrel on order for an upgrade. I've heard good things about Talon Tunes but I'd like to see what the gun can do once the barrel shows up. I've figured out where my gun's "sweet spot" is as far as psi goes. Seems the gun really gets going around 2200 psi to 2800 psi. Either side of those psi spots, my chronograph logs show horrible results. I plan on staying in that sweet spot and getting the most refills off of my tank.
More testing and more chronograph logs will determine if any kind of upgrades are needed, the gun seems silly powerful. I have not turned it up past six on the power wheel because hand pumping is a wonderful chore. :) Now that I have a tank, I want to go out to the 100 yard range and see what happens past the sixth setting on my logs. :)

I think PCP tunes is based in India, I stumbled across a post from them on a forum called India guns.

they make an interesting regulator w 2 gauges. one reading on each side of reg pressure.
