    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    I just got a response from Taipan regarding the barrel band. The barrel band is included for middle east dealers. In middle east they prefer the band because of extreme high temperatures. Taipan tested it with and without the band, it gun is more accurate without the band.

    Taipan Taipan veteran 2 Tactical mag holder?

    There is one on ebay but it's really ugly. The placement kills the flow of the design of the gun. Though I don't know what where else one would mount one. Ebay Magazine

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    That's what it looks like, it comes uninstalled. I'm not an engineer but wouldn't the gun be more accurate with a barrel band to secure it in place? Sure, they touted as free floating barrel but what does that really mean,? Better harmonics? I would think depending on where one puts the barrel...

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    Mine came with the barrel band, but I can't figure out where it's attached to since I got the tactical version with 550mm barrel length. I'm assuming it's only for 700mm barrel versions. Mine is also the ADF version even though it doesn't say ADF on the receiver. I got my gun from Balistas.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Maintenance

    Never heard of Krytox, but a quick search shows it's mostly for spring gun application? Interesting stuff though... I just got a response from Taipan, "normally we used BRUNOX or BALISTOL oils for cleaning barrels. Trigger mechanism doesnt need it."

    Kalibrgun Repair Sources or DIY?

    Charlie Frear of Georgia Airguns. He is an expert with tuning and servicing Kalibrguns. I'm satisfied with his reseal service of my regulator when it went bad. The gun came back shooting better than brand new, I'm not exaggerating.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Maintenance

    Looking through the manual for the Taipan Veteran, it says to wipe the gun with gun oil and keep moving parts well lubricated. What brand of gun oil and lubrication do you guys recommend? Also, does the trigger groups needs to be lubricated as well?

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tac Cocking issue

    Seems like the cocking issue is rather common but good that you got the trigger fixed as well. Sorry to hear about your gun leaking, it's always frustrating with problems on a brand new gun.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tac Cocking issue

    It is my favorite gun right now. Laser accurate, shoots all the jsb varieties ( including FX and AA) 18 grain and jsb 20.83 monster lights very very well, smooth cocking, and awesome trigger. I can't think of a better gun at it's price point. I'm a Taipan believer now.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tac Cocking issue

    Came back from my morning of woods walking with about 100 shots with the new adjustments. I'm happy to say the cocking issue totally went away. I tried fast cocking, slow cocking, light trigger pull, full trigger pull, no jamming of cocking issue at all. Just to memorialize my adjustments for...

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    Where in the manual that says don't adjust the corresponding screws? I got the same not cocking with my new Taipan Tac as well. I did however, adjust the sear tension and the second stage trigger tension by rotating the screw clockwise. The cocking problem has thus far went away.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tac Cocking issue

    Okay, after cocking and dry firing for a good part of the day to study the mechanics of the trigger system, I think I found the problem and a solution. And so far my adjustments is working. The problem is the sear (yellow arrow) won't drop down after firing. So when I cock again, it won't cock...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tac Cocking issue

    Went to the range today with my brand new Taipan Veteran 2 Tac and encountered a frustrating problem of not being able to cock on a consistent bases. Sometimes, it won't cock on the first try. Sometimes, I would be able to shoot 3 shots then it won't cock again. It would cock half way and I...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tactical 550mm .22

    I did the sound test without a pellet, just cock and dry fire. I would think shooting with an ammo might quiet it down a bit.

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tactical 550mm .22

    Noise level is relative in my opinion. I live in the suburbs and it's definitely not as backyard friendly as I like. It's quiet, but not mouse fart quiet. I just did a decibel reading with my cellphone app, I'm getting 99.5 db. But I don't know how accurate these apps are. I'm pointing the...

    Joined the club. I didn't get the chance to shoot it yet but will report back on the accuracy and the pellet my barrel likes if weather permits. ;)

    Balistas?

    Just want to share my experience ordering from Balistas shipping to California USA. Ordered on March 15th, shipped on the 18th. Landed in Kentucky USA on the 19th and got stuck in customs. I got notifications from UPS requesting couple of documents that needs to be filled out. The first was...
