    Got my DFL adapters and looks great on the gun now. I should be getting the Pugio tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

    Karma Which optic are you running on this?

    I love my Discovery 2-12x24 scopes. Fit great on my Mutant Shorty and Vixen

    Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

    In my testing I saw zero accuracy difference and POI shift between my Vet1 Long with the clamped barrel and Vet2 550mm with free floated and tensioned barrels. Very different setups but supplied same results. I'm surprised that Taipan included them. I've never heard about them until your post...

    Taipan New Taipan Vet 2, .22, long

    I'm surprised you find the barrel floppy. However I'm sure the extra 150mm over the 550mm I had makes quite the difference. I never noticed any vibration in mine but makes sense with how the whole barrel and scope mount is setup and with a longer barrel pushing higher power would show it more...

    Barrel bands? That's interesting. One of the big points about them was the free floating tensioned barrels.

    Yeah it came that way which was nice. And scope is the Discovery 2-12x24. Great scope for compact guns.

    Yeah that's a good idea. We have 2 daughters but just had a son so not sure id do one of my nicer guns that way. I guess I can get them something like a red Ryder to start and let them paint it to how they would like it. That's a fun idea

    I like that finish it looks like it took along time but sounds like it was easy?

    Yeah I agree the clear coat made it darker and I like it alot more.

    Ok this looks much better to me now. A darker color with a much better finish.

    N/A Changing the Red Panda Gen 1 to Gen 2

    I can't help you there but I would at least get the parts to have in case you ever would. Believe they're "under warranty" so I'd just get them anyways. Then later if you want to youll have them.

    Decided to do a few coats of a satin clear coat I had as the flat paint was too chalky. Also darkened the color some which I like better.

    Looks great Tommy! Yours really seems to like those JTS pellets! Both my Vet Long and the Vet2 preferred the JSB 20.83gr over the AEA 21.9gr and JTS 22.07gr. I wish they did with the superior BC but they at least yours likes them alot.

    JTS 18gr vs JSB 20.83gr KO slugs

    Will say I sighted my Long in with them today and shot about 10 birds and wow the pop is amazing on these things. Will likely just use them for the most part.

    I got it together tonight and think it looks really nice. I have a DFL LDC adapter coming which I'll leave black along with a Pugio I'll swap between this gun and my Long. It should look nice all together.

    Some cool looking guns I like them! Glad to see others who have done the same! I'm not entirely sure why honestly but have always been drawn to it. Lots of guys like beautiful walnut and laminate stocks while I prefer a tan look. I think it gives it a softer look than just a solid black gun or...

    There we go! Love that look! I just did the stock on my Mrod but looks much better with the shroud done also. Just ties it in better.

    Originally planned on just let it ride and redo as necessary but might do a clear matte coat on it. I might have an extra can somewhere. If not wouldn't hurt to just touch up as necessary. Just a truck gun so I'm sure it'll get scratched up some.

    So I have been a fan of tan guns for many years. In fact my first PCP, my .22 Synrod I painted the stock tan way back when. Have always wanted to do it again but never have. Many many airguns through my hands and never did get another tan one. One I have always liked the looks of since I first...
