Taipan New Taipan Veteran 2 & GX CS-3I

I would trust the "larger" gauge more these are usually on the compressor. You can shoot the Taipan till it goes off the reg pressure to see how many shots it is getting, and check websites or call to see how many shots it is supposed to get on a fill to check. Then call and ask the vendor to send you a new gauge.....

I have a gx3 compressor to. It’s an awesome compressor but the original gauge it came with was off like 300psi. I emailed GX and they sent me another one. Second one is off like 50psi(no biggie). Taipans are built so well and shoot amazing. My old Taipan mutant will literately shoot single hole at 50 yards on a good day

Also did Utah check it at all? I’ve never ordered a gun from them. Maybe call them and see what they say.

ID USE GUN GAUGE , THEY AE MORE ACCURATE THAN THESE CHEAPER COMPRESSORS I HAVE A CHEAPER COMPRESOR AND ITS OFF COMPARED TO MY FX DRS

The pics show compressor at 3200psi (outer numbers) which is 220bar (inner numbers).

I took a picture of both he GXCS3-I (red background) and the Taipan Veteran 2 Standard gauges.

You can see I set the Compressor gauge "stop" needle just a bit beyond 300 BAR. When finished filling the rifle reads about 220 BAR.

I'll probably call UtahAirguns on Monday. I don't want to just watch the gun gauge until it gets to 250 if that means ignoring the compressor gauge as it moves towards 350 BAR?

By the way, in order to get clear Macro pictures I set the iPhone 15 on 2x. Remarkably better than 1X!

If I had to guess I’d say the gun is correct. I’d side with caution until you know for sure though.
You ever do a dead head test on your compressor? It won’t tell you if your gauge is correct but it gives you a baseline of how fast your compressor fills. Set your gauge to 4000 psi and time how many seconds it takes to shut off. I write mine on my compressor. I’m going to walk out in my garage and check. I think mine takes 24 seconds. Since I have the same compressor. If yours shuts off at day like 20 seconds or less. That would make me “think” your compressor gauge is off. Since it would be technically shutting off before it hits 4000. Hope that makes sense. Hard to explain writing.

Edit: Disreguard test. I’m and idiot to and can’t read bar vs psi

Well folks.
As I looked at the close up photos I realized (duh) I was reading the compressor gauge wrong! Bot of these gauges are actually 220 BAR.

Problem solved.

Feeling like a dope!

Haha I didn’t catch it either. I get bar and psi mixed up. I even went and looked at my compressor and didn’t notice. Have fun you got a great gun

Yes, I did the deadhead test at 3000 psi. It took 15 seconds. I'll keep that as a baseline.

Great your ready to rock n roll. Make sure to let me know what you think once you shoot it.
