Tribute to Tony
Gents:
I’m having a little trouble typing and holding my “Super SS” from TalonTunes.com, better known as Tony. If this commentary ends abruptly, it’s because I chose to hold my SS.
This is the most beautiful piece of craftsmanship I have ever owned. His workmanship is absolutely awesome, the details flawless. This man, Tony, loves his work. From the beginning of the shroud..to the butt of the tank…his work shines.
Some time ago on this forum, I brought up “….how quiet is quiet?” I thought I had achieved a level of quietness in my SS that was pretty good. “IT SOUNDED LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN” compared to what Tony has done with it. Now its quieter than a baby’s burp!
Talent, attention to detail, dedication, it all shows up in his work. I want to hold it all the time. It’s like the grandchild I don’t have.
It’s an SS with an 18″ barrel, a full tune, custom shroud, breech knob, valve tune and O-ring, trigger job, vented frame, and custom hammer. It performs like a Jaguar, looks like a Marilyn Monroe, and leaves you with that post ejaculation feeling…….without the mess!
It shoots JSB’s at 910fps, Kodiaks at 835fps, on a wheel setting of 6, and a 2900 psi tank fill. I’d rather sleep with it than with my ex-wife. Thank you Tony…you have provided this old man with something I will cherish forever, and filled my heart with gratitude. You are far better at what you do than what my words are able to describe. We are all better people for having known you.

Good for you Shaky!
Some people get bent and pissed because Tony is doing work no one else is currently doing and they piss and moan when we say how good Tony’s work is. The fact is he is a very good craftsmen and knows his stuff. And if Tony was a hack I would be the first one to yell it from the roof tops…. as some of you know.
The fact is his work on these guns is outstanding and he has invested the time and money into buying the machinery and skill to do what he does. Thank goodness he is here to work on guns for those who want it. His work does cost $$ because it is worth it. I am hard to impress and when I got my barrel and shroud from him all I could say was shit…that is awesome.
So here is to you Tony…Good Job….The Rapid has Allen Z and we have Tony A.
And Shaky when they say “The only way they are taking your gun away is by prying it from your cold dead fingers” I think that is an accurate statement for you! 😛
He hasn’t done any work for me yet but I am saving right now for my Super quiet sniper Mods from Tony I know his work is great because of testimonies like this one. 😀

Got bored and I figured since we were giving him thanks and all why not make him a custom banner for emails and such or even to use as his signature in the forum:
HOPE YOU LIKE IT TONY!
