Default Talon Transformation

So after watching Clifford and Jim set up their Condors the itch to get more power for my Talon struck. I spent hours and hours reading and thinking then the light bulb turned on. A while back a friend had sent me the CO2 adapter for AF rifles and I had yet to pick up a paintball tank to use it with. Doing some reading I learned that the valve bodies on the Condor and Talon are the same, it's just the internals that are different. Out came the tools to remove the upper portion of each valve so that I could swap the Tophat, poppet or seat as AF refers to it, spring and brass retainer I now have what's commonly called a Talondor. Filled her up to 2k to make sure she's holding overnight then the fun begins of testing and tuning with my goal of shooting heavy .22s with some of the newer pellets on the market.
Just to show ya the biggest difference between the Condor and TALON is the valve stem/flow here's a crappy picture for you all.
Well off to order some heavies. In the meantime I'll start with the JSB 18.13s and test the others I have on hand just for grins.
Will update with progress as I get to testing
