I switched the cocking lever from right to left and it wasn't hard at all. Now it doesn't get in the way of my trigger finger.
But I figured something out a while ago and wanted to share about the manufacturer. It appears that ( BULLET PROJECT s.r.o. ) Who's address is used for Taipan is also used for the retailer Balistas in CZ ( That has many videos about the Vet ) But Bullet Project is also listed for Epic airguns and Royal Thunder Airguns.
I'm not sure if it's just a parent company that has part ownership in many companies or in fact the direct mfg and retailer. Balistas does not ship to the USA.
I don't know about whether Royal Thunder is high quality ( I assume they are) But from what Epic owners say that one is and I know for sure the Taipan brand is so well made it's shocking. EDIT: Upon further research Taipan has this language in their catalogue. "Taipan is secured by the Czech company BULLET PROJECT s.r.o" I think this means they are funded or Licensed under BP S.R.O.
