My 338 Condor

[Kinetic45^]

How many of you knew Doug was an Alkin compressor dealer and sells them through NSA?

After tiring if trying to fill four 80cuft SCBA bottles with a Shoebox, then went through two different Chinese small compressors then a AirVentura two-cylinder that actually had a cylinder crack completely off.....
Doug told me he sells compressors and I bought a Mariner W-31 and it is everything he said it would be.

Doug is a top-notch machinest, a Texan master Airsmith and if you follow his shooting , is frequently in the winners circle there too.

Thanks for posting pictures!
And every time I hunt/shoot my .457 Texan you rebuilt for me I say "This is what the Texan should have been" and am appreciative.
You know the feral hogs around here just die every time they hear your name, haha.  You've heard of Thor's Hammer? Mine is Doug's Hammer!

Great sTuff as always Doug!


Always amazes me how many think ss is harder than chrome molly. Nope. Not. We talked about this long time ago concerning valve stems. LOL!

How have I missed this?
Good looking stuff Doug, always nice to see your work.

Really like the plenum setup, lots of regulated air for a shot.

I’m afraid to ask . What’s a custom Texan worth with all the fixings ?

[darkcharisma]

i think you should sell that 7075 plenum to me. its too small for your likings Doug.

Chamber is 1144 stress proof.  It is around 23 ci. I need to water CC it.  It weighs a little over 7 lbs.

I have one of the 2 I have on my Texan right now.  The highest fpe it has made is 767 fpe. It's making  right around 740 fpe right now on 3100 psi with 400 gr.

Easily can hit clay pigeons at 200 yds in 15+ mph wind.

Thanks Marco.  I just don't have the time I use to. Have a lot to build if I ever get the time

That is GD impressive!!

with 1144, ya might want to use 90% alcohol thats cheap at walmart and evaporates with air blasts. unless you have some rust preventative coatings on the inside of your chamber.

i have enough rusts on my airguns i don't touch water anymore. all my 1144 rods gets rusty just sitting in the shop. if you do use coatings please point me that direction

Black Zinc.

Works alright. Not very durable though. Don't have any issues with inside. Use good clean air. Was going to powder coat but didn't want to deal with things not clocking right.
