N/A Taipan Vet2 Standard swapping cocking lever??

[DeanB]

The big hype on the cocking lever on Vet2 is that it can be easily swapped left to right etc, well I just watched video put out by Taipan and in it it looks like you have to disassemble the whole damn gun just to swap lever.
I was under the impression you just had to remove a couple screws/side plate then swap handle and put side plate on opposite side..dont really want to disassemble gun if not necessary or if gun in video is a different variation of the one I have.
Any help/info greatly appreciated before I try and mess something up.

Wow I have a Vetran 2 after watching the video you were talking about. I'm leaving it like it is. If I ever replace o rings I'll switch it maybe

Calling Motorhead, Why fight with a gun you don't like. Depending on age and use it probably could use a lube and reseal and flip the cocking lever at the same time. You and the gun will be happy. Just saying..

It's not that hard at all really. It will take you about 25 minutes including draining the air. That video you are referring to is the guide I used as well.

I think the OP is correct, it's definately more difficult than it needed to be. AGT gets this right.

My gun is brand new, not even had it a week yet.. and who said they didnt like it, what I dont like is its stated in ad that its "easy" to swap sides on cocking lever. I dont consider having to disassemble the whole gun anywhere in the realm of easy at least not for the average person. While I could do it I think its deceiving to say its easy when it is not. I do like the gun but as Ive said before not a bull pup fan.

Easy would be 5 minutes, a pain in the A@# is 25 minutes. You have to do more to swap cocking lever then you do to tune the gun or at least adjust reg up/hammer spring.

I’m in agreement here. It’s doable, but not easy.

I guess it's all relative. I was just saying there are a lot more complicated tasks with airguns than this. Adjusting the reg takes more time if you do it right as you'll likely be taking the reg out at least a few times while tuning.
