Anyone own a AirForce air gun?

[John from MD]

I am looking at buying an AirForce Talon Pistol and am still gathering info. I want it to replace my Marauder Pistol as, except for being a single shot, it does everything the Prod does only it does it with more punch.

I am not too worried about it not being a repeater as I usually do head shots and nothing walks away from them.

I only have one AF airgun, a Texan in .45. It heavy but shoots good. To me it is built well and has a good warranty.

That's in a world of its own!

I have a GhostWolf airgun works Talondor in .257 .25 and .22 it’s my favorite. Saturday kids got kite stuck 110 feet up in tree, and I raised it up 80 degrees shooting off hand shot the bouncing twig and freed the kite on first shot. . Shooting 18 barracuda at 1050 FPS

I've read good things about "Fang" but where does he sell his guns? I haven't been able to find a web page for him.

He passed away 2 years ago. He used to have a forum junkyardairguns

Too bad. It appears he built nice guns.

I've shot turkey and deer with it. I just updated it with a new valve and bottle. Increased energy by 50%. It now generates 600 ft lb. Can't wat to try it on something.

I've watched videos of the .457 being shot and it actually looks to have recoil.

Oh it's positively not "recoiless" (one word meaning no recoil), but "recoil less", as in recoils less than a centerfire. It's 400 to 600fpe. Remember that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Since you jumped in here, I had a question for you.
If I use the Ring Lock Valve kit and put a smaller orifice on the TalonP, would I be able to use a Sumo instead of buying a Ronin or more? Around the house I don't need full power and I don't really want to drop $185 on another air gun moderator.

John,
I don't know much about the AF line, but I did own a .457 Texan for a short time. I do know that the TalonP valve is the hottest one. If you use a valve from the regular Talon it will reduce the power. The Sumo should be plenty of sound suppression I would think.

Since you had yours, they have this kit made by Talontunes that has five top hats with five different sizes. They make the TalonP more versatile. I was never interested in AirForce guns because they didn't have fast second shot capability. Now that I know more about them, I wish I had bought one years ago.
