This is a one-off 24" .177 barrel that fits a first gen Taipan Veteran.
Lothar Walther, 1:17.7 with polygonal rifling. Slightly choked.
Made by using a 10mm OD blank, sleeved up to 15mm with carbon fiber and epoxied on brass end pieces.
Muzzle end has 1/2x20 threads and breech end has standard Taipan breech block threads.
Much lighter than full steel OEM barrel. Makes a Veteran balance very differently.
The carbon fiber sleeve consists of one piece that is 19.75" and a second piece that is 2.25" (see photo).
Due to the design of the Veteran, will work with a .22 Veteran or a .177 Veteran. Vets have extended pin probes so the larger diameter of the probe never makes it to the bore, so a .22 probe can be used with this .177 barrel. Vets also have a transfer port that is separate from the barrel, allowing you to use a .22 transfer port with a .177 barrel.
Please note that if using a .22 Veteran with this barrel, short .177 projectiles tip into the large dual transfer ports and make loading more difficult. If planning on dropping this into a .22 Veteran I'd recommend projectiles at least as long as a JSB 10.34.
