EdGuns have been using these for years, as have Taipan Veterans... Nothing new to see here.

Sorry to hear that your gun got damaged Tom1232 but you are not the only one I got my RP on the 10th and when I opened the box they also had a tin of pellets in the case, the tin was badly damaged I looked over the gun did not see no physical damage but when I shot It I had It sighted in in 3 shots at 50 yards and the next ten shots where smaller than my pinky. Then shot the 5 shots and it dropped an inch. Refilled with air and the pressure just kept dropping. Then the second reg. seal started blowing. So it is back to be repaired. the UPS really mess it up. Thank goodness that PJ and Donny Fl are helping me out to get it repaired. I truly do respect them for all they are doing.

The gun can shoot! It’s very stable and obviously born for the bench. Upon arriving to BTO indoor range, I got sighted-in in short order. Sent the target to 100 yards and shot my first 5-shot group with it:
After bringing this back and seeing it, I knew things were serious!
Okay, went for the proving ground; 5 consecutive 5-shot groups and pull average. Best my .30 Cricket 2 Tac has done is .97” CTC average.
.8878” CTC average.
Yep, it was indoors. I’m sure all critics could have done much better. I am getting a very good BC with the AEA pellets. I look forward to the challenge of competition with this PCP. See y’all at RMAC

The Eddy R5 did do the radial ports. The Taipan, however, is a dual port and as far as I know the first to do it.

Ain't nothing wrong with that! .076 BC?! From a pellet?The gun can shoot! It’s very stable and obviously born for the bench. Upon arriving to BTO indoor range, I got sighted-in in short order. Sent the target to 100 yards and shot my first 5-shot group with it:

Where did the 0.076 BC come from? I think he told me the avg was 0.072. Still pretty awesome. I get about 0.066 with my Delta Wolf from those pellets. I’m curious if it’s because I’m at 885 fps and Derrick is at 940 fps. I know theoretically from @Ballisticboy Miles posts, it shouldn’t change with speed if the profile is accurate for the pellets, but G1 isn’t even close.

Your Epoch should hit the weight roomLooks very good. Seems like my Skout might have some competition.

I guess I’ll hit Stache up for some lead pipe and hose clamps….Your Epoch should hit the weight room

Zoomed in AVG I thought looks like .076 but I could be wrong. Regardless very good BC from a pellet.

Will you please share that how this radial transfer port functions and what is the mechanism of adjusting the transfer port from the right side.
Upvote 0
Downstream of the valve, you have a large exit port which can rotate and choke off flow. One you have it set to your liking, the Red Panda has a feature that locks the desired position of the transfer port. This adjustable transfer port sends unfolding air into a cylindrical chamber that surrounds the barrel’s 6 radial transfer ports.
Instead of feeding a single or dual port, it’s funneling into 6 ports. I hope I’ve explain that well enough.

Back around 2005 we called then "spools" (ala ChrisK) and this can be done for any airgun. Designed correctly (and that is big) can increase both power and efficiency and that was w/out any adjustments available.

Cheap gauges are actually used on lot of European & Czech guns now, unfortunately. It’s a problem for sure. Daystate, BRK, Taipan, AGT and many others.

Understandably, as gages are typically the first to get replaced even by the non airgun smiths, to the digital ones. Why put in Wika gages and bill the customer for them, when they’re probably gonna swap in digital gages?
At least the gun came with bsp threads. PCP’s should never ever come with NPT threads cause gage choices of quality are limited.
Finally! Someone came out with a digital, usb cord rechargeable, BAR reading gage in NPT threads. Got one coming in for my Skout

I think the gripe is it's made in China , in the same place aea is made. Donny fl put the touches on and the put a sweet barrel on it and jacked the price up.
See this right there is why everyone sits on one side of the coin or the other. A new Rifle at that price point should be nothing more then stellar. No worms or bugs. QC should be 100% on par. I won't spend 2500 on a rifle till I see a good track record and customer support. And with the nightmarish situations that I have seen from Chinese manufacturers makes me ponder. I'm all about innovation and buying/owning the latest and greatest but I'll let the others be the beta testers so I don't set my own cash on fire lol.

That is funny. I am just the opposite. I prefer gauges in PSI. I have been using PSI for 50 years. I have no use for BAR. I am currently trying to find a gauge that reads PSI for my DRS.
