Finally got my Condor!

[JimT66]

Well, I finally got an Air Force rifle! Bought Chief's Condor, with the regulated, 4500psi tank. Now just waiting on good weather to get it all dialed in.
Highly recommend any dealings with Chief.

Congratulations and welcome to the AirForce family! Later this year I plan to add a little sibling to my Texan LSS and grab a talonp.

Talon p, that's the small one, right?

 

[JimT66]

I guess unfortunately my air gun purchases are done for a while. My Toyota truck motor took a major dump, and a new crate engine and.labor cost me 9 grand. Soo, I. On a major budget for a while.

Yes, 50 fpe 25 cal pistol/Carbine.

Ahhh yeah, I like that version. Small in size with great punch.

Gotta put a vertical grip. The original one is very comfortable but the vertical one makes it cool

Congrats on getting the Condor from Chief. I traded my Airforce Recon 22 SS to him for a 30 caliber customized gen 2 Gauntlet and the transition of the trade went very smooth. I will gladly deal with Chief any day and vouch for him as well!

I did get his red one! Yes, I will post a couple pics later. I am in the process of wrapping what I can. Making it camo.
My 3.5 V6 had 240k miles, and timing chain broke, while doing 45 mph. It still used no oil and was very strong till the chain broke, but that damage was catastrophic

I'm really sorry to hear that! I have a 19yo Tacoma with 225K on it and worry about the same thing happening to me, all the time. I am ready for it, financially, so it hasn't happened. That's how everything seems to be, if your ready, disaster holds off until you are not, for some reason. From what I see in the vehicle market, I will buy a new engine too. Still the best bet is to keep it on the road.

That's a fact for sure. How can you replace your truck for 9 grand? You may be able to buy another one, but it's liable to be a ticking time bomb engine or trans. Wise. And even a nice newer one gonna cost at least double that. And still, you dont know how it was treated. New crate motor has, 100k warranty, I know I feel a lot safer going that route.

Congrats on the new-to-you Condor too! I have been thinking about either getting a TalonP or a Condor lately too. I will probably roll the dice on that next winter.

I was looking at new trucks about three years ago and was shocked at the price I do mean shock!
I bought a used truck with a bad motor the put a new motor in it new brakes and rotors went through the tranny even tossed the fancy hot rod stereo and got a factory system back in it new rubber new windshield I spent maybe ten grand but I figure that better then the 90,000.00 the dealer ship want for something similar.
@Pumacarl if you have a lot of mile on it and it isnt using oil spend a few dollars and have a new timing chain put in.

 

[Pumacarl]

Too Funny Pan60! I have had a running (years) conversation about doing just that with my mechanic. He hates doing them! Might have to find someone else.

Mark hooper on AGN has a almost new one for sale. It was on page 7 of 14 in the classified. He is a great person.
