By Edmund from USA on 2009-09-13 02:02:38 Things I liked:It's quieter than the 24" barrel. It works on CO2 and surprisingly well on 3,000 pounds of air.Things I would have changed:Bushings are poor. I see why some people modify them. In my opinion they are too loose on the barrel and should mount into the frame with o-rings on the outer surface of the bushings. What others should know:The front bushing was loose to begin with and no matter what I did to align it with its set screw, it just won't align with the frame holes and the other bushing. So I loosened the rear bushing and was still unable to align both bushings with the frame set screws. I settled on leaving the front bushing screw loose so I could get the alignment holes in position for the 2 frame set screws. |
- Things I liked:The high quality. The easy installation. The high accuracy. I also have a 24" .177 barrel, and on 50 yards, the accuracy is the same. Of cause the velocity is higher with the 24", but so is the noise.
Things I would have changed:I would have made holes in the front bushing, to allow the section between the two bushings to also be used as expansion chamber for added silencing. I would also have made the bushing in a dark material just because it looks good.
What others should know:There were an end cap included in my package. I know that the description says that it is not included, but in my, it was. If you plan to buy one, and need the end cap (if you have the Condor) then ask, before you order, not to end up with two. - Things I liked:It's quieter than the 24" barrel.
