I believe it is a Condor. Manual here https://airforceairguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Manual_AirRifle_Utility.pdf

The first thing that I would do is find the date that is stamped on the air bottle. The air bottle is a high pressure tank and has a manufacturing date on it and has to have a hydrostatic test every 5 years after that date. I’ll let someone else advise you on the date and inspections etc.. I haven’t dealt with hydrostatic testing in over 15 years and would hate to give you bad info as it is a safety issue.

That is an older Condor
Two things: date on the bottle appears to be 2008
The safety is a wire with a red cap.

You are going to need an adapter to fill the bottle

Then you will need either a pcp hand pump or a pcp compressor. Max on the bottle is 3000psi.

Given the age of the bottle it might be better to just buy a new bottle and "tophat" (the valve screwed in the bottle)

Tophat

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0BAbYV

Note: older Condor use a tophat without gauges.

AirForce threadlocks the tophat in the bottle and they are very difficult to remove without destroying them.

For parts there are a few places to get upgrades.
Www.trajectron.com in India has a good selection and ship DHL so they arrive in about a week. They also answer any questions you have. Can be pricey but you can buy upgrades and add 50% to the power of the gun.

AliExpress has a lot of parts but you need to know what you want.

Then there is regulators from Huben Power. That can get expensive...

So that filler adapter goes on top of the original adapter or do you have to swap them out I'm just new to this thing with this type of PCB things thanks I appreciate your help a lot

 

[BlackPaw]

So all I need to charge and use is the adapter? Should I just remove the one on my bottle?

 

[SpindleB]

It screws onto the top and when full, just unscrew it. Might be a small amount of air released, not a big deal.

I have not used one in years. I added regulators and big bottles to my guns and you fill through the regulator.

Huben Power Cricket Max-ATH regulator with a 50cc plenum and an AceCare 1.1L bottle. About a $350 mod...

Condor is a great gun and so reliable that as long as you have air and pellets it will hit what you aim at.

Plan to use it to harvest protein when I get it ready to
