AirForce Talon/Condor Swivel Stud Set Reviews

I wanted this solution to work...

The tiny c clip was hard to install and it failed the first time I took my talon ss into the field. I really wanted this to be a good solution but to be blunt, Airforce should not sell this product as it is. To offer a lifetime warranty on their guns and then sell the customer an addon roduct that is very likely to cause accidental damage to the gun... just doesnt make business sense to me.

Airforce makes amazing products and I ove this company but this product isnt well thought out. This isnt the solution you are looking for.

Works for Texan

But clip

Hard to insert

Works

Pix shows 2 studs. i got 1.

hard to put ring on. almost lost it. seams solid. extra rings and studs would be nice. Front piece is ok

Fits well

None

This is a factory part. As for quality, Airforce's machining is second to none, from frame to swivel stud. This part slides right down the 11 mm rail with absolutely no play, the hex bolt tightens like a weld. The swivel stud spins so smoothly as if on ball bearings. If you've ever had to carry your rifle on an all day hunt, you know it can get heavy. This swivel stud puts an end to lugging your rifle by hand, sling it on your shoulder!

Absolutely nothing. Not even the price ,Wich is quite inexpensive for factory part, as it is worth every penny, to complement your Airforce rifle.

Airforce rifles, pistols are sold by Pyramyd Air, and they back their sales with the most incredible service in the industry. Pyramyd is A#1 0.K.!

Meh. It works...for a while. Then the c clip fails.

Have it screw in instead of the cheesy c clip. It pops off all the time. It will drop your gun.

Only easy option.

Very easy to install.

Nothing

This mount was easy to install and worked perfectly on my Texan SS. I would highly recommend it.

They were very easy to install. Engineered to exact measurements and I am confident my Condor SS is secure in the sling.

Nothing

Fat fingers and small split rings require patience.

Machined very nice. Easy mounting to Airforce Condor SS rails and butt plate.

Price is just a tad steep unless you are a machinist and can make these yourself.

I read a couple reviews where there were concerns on mounting "C" clip and durability. I had no issues mine.

Just put a little Anti-seize on the Allen screws and screw them down tight not sure what the bad reviews are about I almost didn’t order these but there a very good product just use a little common since when in stalling them.

Nothing

Piss poor design. Would never trust it to hold on any gun.

Start with a clean slate and just tap 2 10-32 holes on the gun and attach the QD sling swivel studs they make for the Marlin front cap. Or see second option below.

If you have a Texan SS then tap a 10-32 hole on the aluminum base that attaches the butt plate to the tank loop and screw in the QD sling swivel stud made for the Marlin 336 end cap. For the front use the BLK 1" long 3/8 to Weaver adapter and a GG&G Weaver Picatinney sling mount or a Harris bipod and attach the sling to it.

The c-clip idea is not a good idea at at. When I went to attach the butt-stock stud the c clip kept coming off and I nearly dropped the rifle. I ended up putting another stud that was threaded on in its place. The forward or hand guard stud assembly concerned me too in that it just didn't seem to be rugged at all and I always felt it would let go like the rear stud because of the c-clip design. Bad design all the way around...

The entire design. Needs to be threaded for a secure attachment.

nothing

stop selling it

had 2 fail first one gun hit the ground got a replacement from airforce then 2nd one failed the clip holding the stud pulled out

After 3 weeks of use, it works fine and was easy to install.

Nothing

fit my Talon

the diameter of the through holes are too small for use with my 48 x 1.25 Grov Tech Sling. This combination WILL NOT WORK!!!! without alteration. I opened up the through holes x .020 to make the 2 products work together---easy if you have the proper tools

must reverse the butt plate for use with the Air Force Ass Bar--NO DIRECTIONS included would give a higher rating but alterations are needed

The front mount fits on the rail and locks in place.

Although fairly self explanatory, there are zero instructions with this item. The very small allen wrench provided, may tighten the front mount to the rail, but will not remove it without breakage. Maybe a small amount of lube would help, but no instructions to state so. The rear mount does not fit the rifle if any modifications have been done to the butt stock. This should be a part of the write up so these are not purchased by folks that have done mods. There is no place to install the butt stock mount if mods are done!

You will need to buy a different butt stock insert in order to make this work if modified but stock has been installed.

Made from steel.

They rattle. Come on Air Force for the money you could have put an o-ring on them to prevent rattling. These pieces are too expensive for what they are.

easy to install

make the holes bigger

The swivel holes are too small for standard sling adapters and need to be drilled a little.

Works as designed.

Make the swivel holes bigger as I had to drill out the holes to accept a standard swivel sling. This is a simple fix, but I should not have to do it.

Makes carrying your loaded Airforce rifle much easier, especially when hunting.

Easy installation and high quailty. I had no problem fitting and tighting the front swivel to the front rail of my Condor. When tightening the front swivel you are actualling compressing the swivel to grab the rail. It feels like excessive torque, but the swivels are high quality and will easily accept the torque.

A better explination of the tighting process in an instructions sheet.
