just a guess... might have had a couple pellets in the barrel, when you degassed the poppet released and shot them out? any holes in the ceiling? If the regulator isn't working and you fill to 4kpsi, the gun probably wouldn't fire.

gotcha! totally misunderstood.

holy smokes! my Gen 1 Vet is hole in hole at 35 yards, I would expect nothing less from a Taipan at that range.

Just 3mm 308L. PM me your address and I will send a pin your way

If it’s a good shooter, Take the bottle off… slap in a regulator. Totally legal to refill your tube during a match

@bigHUN Thanks for showing us your set up! Do you like your immersive scope? Do you use it for target practice or hunting? I would like to get one for my pesting rig. What size scope is that? I have been looking for the 5 x 24 saw on the forums last week but someone beat me to it.

Bought this scope from @Pfddi in the classifieds. I really like the the scope! The focusing is snappy, Seems to accurately ID 1 yard increments in near and far HFT yardages The eye relief is crazy close to the lens. Fortunately, the FOV is huge because my safety glasses wont let me get close...

Taipan !!!! my favorite platform of all time,

Not sure what your goals are, but if you want dependable and easy to work on you could purchase a RAW or a Diana Bandit and accomplish what you asked easily... one is $1000 and one is $200. Both are very dependable and easy to work on but one is machined with a lot tighter tolerances and will...

I pulled the pin out. It’s not broken, but it sure is short. I couldn’t even see the pin from one side of the block. Replacing it with a full length stainless steel pin.

Thanks for the input, I was thinking along those lines as well... the mark nearest the seal seams to be a few thousandths in front of the stem channel. As far as I can tell, it doesn't contact other parts. Polishing is on my mind as well, but there is a black (paint?) layer or something on...

Hi all, noticing some damage at both ends of the stem. Trying to figure out muzzle velocity inconsistencies. I’ve already cleaned the regulator and put a Delrin seat in. That took away all the creep but now I’m noticing fairly consistent 4 -5 fps spread with an occasional 20 to 25 feet velocity...

Have you run shots over the chrony to see if numbers are consistent since the poi change? Did you happen to open a new tin of pellets about the time problems surfaced?

Great Day indeed!
