I don't why a real company, such as Airforce itself, doesn't make the "hot rod" parts for Talons and Condors. All I can find is Talon Tunes and that website is so crappy and they charge WAY TOO MUCH for parts. Dude wants $175 for a plastic butt cover. Replacement grips are $165. That's all way to costly for those parts. I can understand a custom tune to the gun itself, but all of those extra parts should be cheap. I don't know if they are hand making these or what.

Airforce does offer a few "accessories" but they don't allow any replacement to their stock components. Like the pistol grip. It's so thin and non-ergonomic. I can't believe there is not a place to buy an inexpensive replacement for it.

The grip frame is compatable with AR15 / M16 grips. Lot of aftermarket parts for the AR15, and the bottle works alot better with an adjustable plate.

Airhog might have some of them in stock too . . .

I looked on the talonairgun forum and they were talking about where they got their grips. Both links they provided were dead. And the posts were only a couple months old. Then, I went to one of the sites that sold them and was going to email them to see if they had any more or could get them. What happens? I click on the "contact us" page and get a page can't be displayed. All other pages worked though. It's almost comical sometimes. It's as if you would have to intentionally make all of those things impossible just so a person looking for that one specific part would not be able to find it.

Imagine this...You go to the internet and type in the thing you want and then you find a place that will sell it to you. I guess Airforce guns are new enough that you can't really get custom parts without resorting to this bootleg/underhanded BS that I'm encountering now.

I would advise using extreme caution when dealing with
individuals on that site. A lot of people have ruined their
guns following the advice given there. Tom Gayloard posted
some examples of guns that Talon forum members had ruined
on his blog.

After those kind of modifications the gun cannot be turned down
but can only be operated at full power. The power wheel has no
effect after the mods.

I bought two very pricey noise reduction devices from there and
although very pretty and small did nothing to reduce the sound
pressure level above 50 fpe as claimed.

Yeah, I'm not trying to mess my gun up doing some minor modification. Also, I don't want to put that much more money into the rifle. I look at it as a liability. I mean its a relatively small expensive piece of equipment. If it was stolen or broken then I'd be out all of that money.

This is kind of gay, but I wanted to put an 'SS' sticker on my talon ss. I was thinking about using a Nazi SS Waffen decal, but I couldn't find a good one, so I found a Chevy Camaro 3D sticker instead--a little more stylish and a lot less offensive. I'm going to cut out the exact shape of the sticker from the neoprene cylinder cover and stick it in there. This is what the sticker looks like.
