Amazing Gun
New guy here, thanks for having me over.
I’ve been shooting airguns since 1971 when I got a Crosman 760. Since then, I’ve been an avid airgunner but strictly springs and over the last few years, vintage sporters and matchguns.
I just got a brand new SS yesterday in .177 and CO2.
Amazing gun. Made a few LD collector thingies with 1″ fender washers with 1″ round felt furniture pads. Stuck one on the washer, drilled it 1/4 through the pad then stuck one on the other side and drilled it from the opposite side. Made sure the holes was clean cut and stacked 4 in the end of the shroud, no spacer. The felt had enough compression in it to keep it from going down the tube. Popped the cap back on, threw a scope and sighted it and then proceeded to drop them in the same hole with JSB Express at 10M. No noise, no recoil, just amazing.
The gun needs a buttplate and the can needs a cover. My face was getting chilly but I am impressed.
There’s plenty of info on this site so I’ll make sure to read it all before I ask questions but I may have a few…

Furnature pads rock…I tried a ton of configs and nothing comes close. Congrats on the new gun.
I never tried em w/out spacers….may need to check that out.

Can you post pics of this set up? I don’t completley understand what it is you are doing. I receive my Talon SS tomorrow and I want to get it quiet with out having to spend to much money
I’ll back you on that one WOK. Never did like that Morgan myself.
Yes,
I will be making another run. So many guys want a better butt plate and so I think I will be making them on a regular basis at an affordable price so people can get some custom stuff with out paying out the big buck.
Although the introductory price is over and now they are $40+6 for priority shipping. Still less then the Metal Morgan and looks a lot better ….to me at least.
Congrats MZ glad to hear your gun is shooting great! A cheekpad makes ALL the difference I’m partial to 1/2″ foam and Flannel from an old shirt 😀 Walkonking makes a NICE butpad/plate!!! he may still be making some?
Jim.

I can’t take the credit for that, I got the idea from someone on this site. They work like a charm though.
Also, as a new guy, I’ve researched all the quick tips for new Talon Owners and copied and pasted everything onto one Word document that way I have it all in one place.
If any new guy wants a copy of that, just send me an email and I’ll get it off to you
