    Taipan Calling Taipan Pros

    Hey those folks with taipans. I have an issue with my veteran 2 tactical model. I have had it about a month, and shot a couple tins of slugs through it. So maybe 300-400 shots with some different pellets thrown in for good measure. I forget the count per tin. So it’s pretty new. I noticed the...

    Scba tank warning

    Well, I bought a couple “bargain” scba tanks off eBay. At first they seemed alright, then I had a valve fail. No big deal I thought, I’ll just take the opportunity to buy one of “air tanks for sale’s” nice valves in 7/8” to replace the Scott firefighter valve that failed… I’ll rebuild that valve...

    Yong Heng compression fitting and gasket washer issues

    Well, went out for a session to fill up a new tank today and my failed pressure guage on the yong heng compressor started leaking air… an hour later the McMaster Carr order came in and I replaced that with a 2” Wika guage and high pressure adapter…cool, that ought to be the end of my problems...

    Other Feeding a yong heng compressor off a compressor?

Pre-Chinese compressor…or maybe...

    FX pellets

    Picked up some pellets on sale awhile back. .25 cal 26.6 grains FX brand “Atomic”, opened em up and they appear to be rebadged Hades pellets. I have no opinion on them either way just testing different weights etc to see what the gun likes etc. Just an FYI.

    First gen marauder bolt issue possible fix.

    Alright I think I found the source of my bolt binding during use. It was unreasonably difficult to cock, sometimes it would even fail to pull the hammer all the way back to its “catch point” ’m not certain if this is the correct factory bolt but the Allen head that “catches” the hammer had a...

    Hobby creep…

    Well I finally went down the compressor rabbit hole and ordered some high pressure tanks. I’m sure they are aged out firefighter tanks. 30 minute SCBA units. The plan is to borescope the internals and do a some remote pressure testing when they get here I have a steel pipe that’s capped on one...

    Best light options for ladies?

    Hey folks, I’ve been dabbling in the precharged pneumatic and springer world for awhile, and would like to get the wife and kids into it a bit more, but I’m running into the issue of airgun weight. I’m a big guy at 6’4” so to me the marauder weight is no big deal, but my wife is much-much...
