New AF valve vs lighter valve spring & heavier hammer
Do both of these options cure the valve sticking problem on the older condor tanks when filled to 3000psi ? If so is one a better cure than the other? By better I mean easier to tune, more power, more consistant shoot strings ect… I looked at the valve compare pics and I definitely have the old one.
Thanks 😕

The old valve just stinks. A heavier hammer will help a little, but is not a cure. What will happen is the pressure will get down to 2700 or so, and your velocities will increase every shot until you run out of air. Its not a consistent valve/hammer arrangement.
I haven’t tried a different spring. I wasn’t able to get the old valve out of the bottle. I ended up buying a new tank w/valve.
Tag,
I haven’t upgraded yet. Use it mostly in a 12â€
Yes, I am one of the happy ones. I have the newer valve and can fill to even 3100 PSI. 😮
The new condor valve solves the old condor valve problems. Guys are very happy with the new version

Thanks to all for the info & advice. I’ll likely send off my two tanks to AF for them to install the new valves as Im not comfortable working on that end of the gun yet.
